Looking in the Rearview Mirror

On March 5, 2018March 5, 2018 By CorwinIn Adventure, Because I Want To, Ka-Ra-Te, RuminationsLeave a comment

Sometimes when I'm at something of a loss for words on what to write I look back through my photos in my phone and see what I thought was funny/cool/interesting enough to take a picture of at the time. For the last two months, it's been a bit of my wife, a whole lot of …

That Holiday Spirit

On December 25, 2017 By CorwinIn RuminationsLeave a comment

It's been a chaotic, wonderful and lovely stack of events lately, which I hit on pretty hard the other day. You can check it out here if you're so inclined and want to really just jump into the whole "things I think about other things" pool of self-reflection and cogitation. The take away is any big …

Tread Softly

On February 27, 2017April 15, 2017 By CorwinIn Adventure, Ruminations1 Comment

The last week or so has been one blur of being sick and wondering how on earth I’m going to make it through the day. Only to eventually find myself at the end of said day realizing I will have to do it all over again in a few hours. It was fun. Luckily, I …

So, a thing happened…

On January 12, 2017June 10, 2017 By CorwinIn Adventure, Because I Want To, Ruminations2 Comments

I start writing classes next week, I have a tournament the week after, and then everything starts spinning faster and crazier, and even better. But, before all of that, there was something truly exciting that happened this past weekend. I GOT MYSELF MARRIED!! And it was completely spectacular. For all the craziness it took to …

The Marrow of Life

On January 1, 2017January 1, 2017 By CorwinIn Because I Want To, Pen and Ink, Ruminations1 Comment

This is a tipping point. Right now the world is about to go crazy, in many ways it already has. We've had stars die, major political changes, incredible successes, and harrowing defeats. On a more personal note, I have a wedding coming up after which all of life will be different. It will be full …

A Quick Stop Before the Big Push.

On December 13, 2016 By CorwinIn Adventure, Because I Want To2 Comments

There has been a lot that's been going on, and there's a ton of things that are coming up. I have a few big posts coming through the pipe soon (And one of them on a totally different website!) So, there shall be plenty happening in digital blogging land in the next month or two. …

A Revelation.

On June 4, 2016August 8, 2016 By CorwinIn Adventure, Ka-Ra-Te, RuminationsLeave a comment

In our last installment we learned our dashing hero had foolishly planned to be in two places at opposite ends of the country AT THE SAME TIME. Since he doesn’t happen to know any magicians with the magical saw-you-in-half-table. He has to make a decision: Go to Nationals with the goal of earning a place …

Memorial Day Thoughts…

On May 31, 2016August 8, 2016 By CorwinIn Because I Want To, RuminationsLeave a comment

Memorial Day weekend has come and gone. We were able to honor the men and women of the armed forces and, if we were lucky, spend some time with family or good friends. I was helping some friends move. They are the types of friends who became family a long, long time ago. When I …

And done!
A few days late, but it was a heck of a weekend in Door County with some amazing people! Thanks to random adventures, great humans, and oh so much laughter.
Every now and again, you get a reminder the world is pretty awesome. Happy Monday, everyone!
Dino Nuggets and Star Wars. 32 is looking a lot like 12 today. 🦖 🦕
This encapsulates my day.

So, ring lights are cool.
The Happiest of New Years to all! Let’s greet the new year with a little style! (Not pictured 🤣)
It’s been a landmark of a year, but to all my friends, family, and those wonderful individuals who are one and the same, have a wonderful holiday with food and love. Merry Sithmas to all 😂
As years go, this one has been a doozy. I have so much to be thankful for. The amazing people I work with, the incredible families that make BBLA the place it is, and all of the friends and family who have reached out over the last 10 months. It’s been a year of incredible highs and ridiculous lows. There’s been midnight wanders, 2am conversations, and early morning hikes (sometimes in the same day!).
