Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Not much time to write - too tired - at the rugby game yesterday a friend gave me her Charger season tickets to use for the game today. Even though I knew it would be pushing the limits of my energy levels, I took them because - hey - Club level! Four tickets! The Giants... Continue Reading →
Hello coach it's been four years since I last had the chance to play football with you on the sideline and unfortunately it appears as though my final football game will be this Friday.

16 recently flipped through some of the football and baseball game posts I've written over the years that he's played. When he got home from the Friday night high school football game (one in which he didn't even suit up to play), he said to me "You know how you wrote about the best baseball... Continue Reading →
With 15 moving up to the varsity level this year, he is truly the little bird in the big nest. (Get it? 'Cause they are Falcons?! - Hah! I kill me) Even a starting receiver in a Wing-T offense can barely see 5 balls thrown to him all season (like last year). So this upcoming... Continue Reading →
Most people's summer vacations look like this: Mine look more like this: Boy does my cat have it right! In the last week we have: Set the alarm on both Sat and Sun mornings last weekend for 4:30am so that The Boy could be on the beach at 5:30am with his scuba gear to complete... Continue Reading →
