It’s 715pm and 95% of the work is complete. All that remains with this 2013 Spring interior project is the organization of my bedroom. The front and backyards are Moad and trimmed, and I tidied up a few areas in … Continue reading →

I’m getting a bit closer to being completed. The study is organized and put away, and all the containers in the living room are now removed. The kitchen, which often becomes the catchall during these projects, has also been cleaned. … Continue reading →

This article by John Rosemond really resonated with me. I was one of those kids from “back in the day.” I am so glad I grew up in an era before entitlement ruled. So often I hear/read questions like, “What … Continue reading →

When the dogs and I headed upstairs to go to bed last night I figured it would be the perfect night for sleeping. The temperature had dropped down into the 60s and there was a little breeze blowing through the … Continue reading →

My former study is now a new guest bedroom with two twin beds, and the TV room. I figured that the room might service my second bedroom on those nights when it is terribly hot upstairs. And it will also … Continue reading →

By noon, the new guest room was painted, mopped, and all the baseboards and woodwork clean. Now it is time to put everything in there and figure out the particulars. I bought some blue curtains about eight years ago but … Continue reading →

This morning starts a much-needed four-day break. The first week of summer lessons ran smoothly. The students and parents really like the new study, and are eager to see the finished product of the guest bedroom next door. This morning … Continue reading →

And the third day of my summer schedule has gone. Tuesday’s schedule seem to go off without a hitch. Well there was one little hitch but that was easily fixed. Moving nearly 60 students through three days is quite a … Continue reading →

The first day of Monday teaching schedule ran smoothly. The students were all surprised, and quite pleased with the new study. I couldn’t believe how much more room there was. Just as my last student was leaving, magical mechanic Mike … Continue reading →

For me, summer has officially begun today. I started my summer teaching schedule this morning. For the next three months I’ll only teach Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, packing in 19 students each day. And right now the studio is completely … Continue reading →

As of midnight last night, my bedroom was moved in, its entirety, upstairs. The dogs seemed a bit unsettled with this change, but they did finally wind down. By 630 this morning I had already started moving my study into … Continue reading →

There are three dogs that don’t know what to think about this new bedroom. Flyer moved upstairs and took her place on a blanket laid out for her, and settled in for the evening. Chief and Navi, however, right bit … Continue reading →

I was a small boy when GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER came out on the big screen. I don’t recall seeing the movie, but I do remember the subject matter concerning many of the adults. How could a young, educated, privileged white … Continue reading →

Yesterday I went through closets and pulled out a bunch of items that are no longer in use. They’re a ton of things to give away, and the things I have not promised are going to Goodwill. Thursday evening I … Continue reading →

Tonight, I was so excited to hear my saxophone students from the Beavercreek Middle School jazz bands perform outside the Dayton Dragon’s stadium at 5th/3rd Field.  I grabbed some music books from Hauer Music, and then proceeded down Patterson to … Continue reading →

It is now the official start of my summer break. I have five days to enjoy my summer. I will also have five days in July, but this is the start of my summer break. My plans include painting the … Continue reading →

Today is my last day of teaching for the regular school year. I just left the middle school for the last time. I finish teaching a few special lessons tonight with several former students returning from college, and will have … Continue reading →

Today has been one of those days were everything seems to be in multiples. And those multiples have not been pleasant. The day started off smoothly but by 1130 or 1145 that all began changing. There was absolutely no air … Continue reading →

The first time I went to Minard was about 2008 and that was up near Fowler Indiana. I absolutely loved the place. However, the nearest Minard’s to Dayton was about 20 miles away and seemed a bit too far to … Continue reading →

On this Monday Memorial Day 2013, it is cold at 54° and raining. I always hate to see you rain and cooler weather on days like this when there are always going to be tons of families and friends gathering … Continue reading →

I was blessed with two very adored uncles, siblings of my parents, who served our nation in the US Army and US Navy: Garry Jolliff   (1944-2002) Ronald Barmes   (1952-1987) Uncle Gary, brother of my birth-father, Danny Jolliff, served in the … Continue reading →

Currently enjoying the concert band music at Carillon Park. In a while, the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra will perform, followed by a spectacular firework display. From DLJH’s iPhone “Make it a great day!”

The morning began with yard work and projects! The back yard was mowed, and then I completed the little fence around the lilac bush. The roots have spread out a good deal, making it difficult to mow near the bush, … Continue reading →
