The Big Four-Oh!

Wednesday, January 9th, 2019

When 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 […]

2011: Gooch Year 32 – Getting Back To Myself

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

2011 was what I would call a transition year. I started getting back to myself. I started taking doing things that I like to do. I started worrying about me. It was the year where, by the end, I figured out that I will probably be alone for a while, and maybe even the rest […]

The Top 5 of 30

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

I 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 […]

The Day After

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

My birthday was quite cool.  I got the usual things that happen like my grandmother calling and singing Happy Birthday.  There was dinner at Charlie Brown’s with Mom and Jo.  Jo surprised me when I got home from work with a Carvel ice cream cake and balloons (as she likes to say I’m a big […]

Chicago Trip Redux

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

The 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 […]

Back from Chicago

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

I’m back from a very nice trip. 🙂  The recap will be later.

One More Day!

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

One 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, 2007

One 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, 2007

Back 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 […]

On The Road Again . . .

Friday, July 27th, 2007

This weekend, Jo and I are off to Baltimore for a Yankee game.  I’ve never been to Camden Yards, so I decided to see when the Yanks would be there on a weekend.  We’re going to the game on Saturday, always looking for a Yankee win. Of course as I’m writing this I remember that […]
