Getting there, enjoying the ride.

About Me

I love my family- Wife, two boys, and our beautiful baby girl, born 2-20-2008.

Ok, this section is supposed to be about me, so try this on for size...
My primantis sandwich has to have corned beef on it
I am a "cat" person, and they are "people" cats
My affection for Pittsburgh teams worries me
Restaraunts with Dr. Pepper on the menu get my biggest tips
My friends are the reason I am not institutionalized
I conflict the most with people who feel any entitlement
Vegetarians would hate to look in my freezer
I am Methodist, but to the left of me are Mormons, and to the right Jehovas Witnesses
Anything you think is set stone, will eventually erode away
If ketchup can be put on a food, I will probably eat it

My Interests

Music,
Radio,
Music on the Radio,
Sports (both professional, and watching my sons play),
And all things Scottish!!!!

Right Now

Got up this morning and turned on VH1 Classics for a second.  Caught the beginning of Van Halen's "Right Now" video.  I immediately started thinking about the Stanley Cup Final, and had a fe...

He WAS the "Dude."

If you ever seen The Big Lebowski, you met my Uncle HAG.  His real name was Harry Avery Gibson, but we all called him "HAG."  Ok, maybe he didn’t bowl as much as the Dude, but his pers...

Heading in reverse.

32 is quickly approaching.  Sometimes I look back at stuff I wrote, and think about how I was sometimes a real prick.  That wasn't a bad thing, though. I think my wife and children have take...

Rites of Passage

It may be just how my mind works, but my sense of validation always has accomplishments attached to them. For example, I never thought I had truly made it in radio until I was fired and won an award.&...

Randomness...

Just some thoughts as Thanksgiving approaches. This might be the first Thanksgiving where we don't go anywhere, except Jen's moms.  Braden has a tournament out in Delmont, so we'll probably crash...
