Wednesday, January 9th, 2019When I turned 30, if someone had told me that my 30s would be harder than my 20s, I would have listened but shrugged it off. As they say: hindsight is 20/20. I came into 30 pretty good, but nervous. I already knew I would be leaving the old house. Outside of that everything was […]
2017: Gooch Year 38–The Lost Year
Tuesday, January 9th, 2018I haven’t written one of these birthday wrap-ups in a couple of years. Here’s the summary of those missed years.: 36 (2015): Happy to have a job, met someone who I seriously fell in love with, moved her in to my apartment, Bermuda cruise, she moved back home and that sucked a lot. 37 (2016): […]
The Top 5 of 30
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010I started this post well before my birthday january 9th, but haven’t gotten to post it for various reasons (mainly laziness), so it may sound dated. This birthday, I’m presenting the top 5 of 30. Lots of various events have happened during this year of life (some significant, some not) that have made this year […]
Christmas 2009: Goodbye Great Grandma
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009This year, Christmas had a somewhat somber mood due to my great grandmother’s passing. I went down to North Carolina last Tuesday with 2 of my cousins. The ride down was good with good conversation. For the most part, the traffic was good until you got into Virginia. I’d say we lost a good hour […]
Sad Weekend
Monday, December 21st, 2009This past Saturday morning I learned that my great grandmother passed away peacefully. She was 94. My mom called me while I was out shopping early to get in before the snow and told me. I am sad at the loss of her but not overly grief stricken. She had a long life, even if […]
Chicago Trip Redux
Thursday, August 30th, 2007The trip to Chicago was a very nice trip. It was nice to get away and also to show Jo someplace new. I got to see my brother and I got to surprise Jo with a very nice present. All in all I’m ready to go back. So without further ado, here are the highlights […]
One More Day!
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007One more day until I’m off for Chicago. I’m all packed up and ready. Just a few last things I have to do tonight before I leave the house tomorrow morning. The excitement is building. I’m ready for 13 hours of driving goodness. Some folks think I’m nuts for doing 13+ hour drives after doing […]
T Minus 7 Days . . .
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007One week (and a couple of hours) from now, Jo and I will start the journey out to Chicago. I’m so looking forward to this trip. It’s been in the works for 5 months and now we’re down to crunch time. Of course you know I’ve driving out there. Why Chicago you ask? Well the […]
An Interesting Trip
Sunday, July 29th, 2007Back from the Baltimore trip and this is how I can describe the trip: interesting. Having never been to Baltimore, only passing through it on my way down south, I was curious to see how this would turn out. The main goal was a following the Yankees on a road trip but being that we […]
I Thought I Needed an Ark
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007This morning getting to work was very much a fun time. Anyone up at around 7 in the NYC area saw that we got drenched with rain. That rain definitely made a mark on my commute this morning . . . The Cross Bronx was FLOODED. Where I get on over by the Sheridan Expressway […]
