Happy New Year
Happy New Year everyone. This is the first post in a long, long, time. I’m glad to be back and ready to jump back into the website with a renewed interest. That’s what 2011 is about for me. Renewal. I used to hate starting over from scratch every year and rebuilding accomplishments and such throughout the year. This year, I can’t wait to get started. So what’s new for 2011 you ask?
I’m fat. Nothing new there, but I am working on losing the pounds and keeping them off for good.
CaptainsCast is coming back. Ben has a renewed interest as well and wants to do the show again. I also realize how important it is for me to communicate with my boys and keep them on track. This is the way to do that.
Time Machine Toychest is coming back. More classic toys from yesteryear. This week brings the Frisbee!
Overgrown Boyscout is starting up anew. Since I have been thrust into the world of Scouting, I feel it is important to help others not that familiar with it. Look for me to hopefully be joined by Eagle Scout Jeff Hertlein as my co-host.
The Weekly Word Podcast will continue. For those looking for a great spiritual message, come listen to Dr. J, John Daniels, give his weekly message.
Coming soon – more blogging, more 70′s & 80′s history, and a few new podcast projects.

This is my commentary of the last 1:30 of the game against the Steelers. If they were going to win, I wanted to record it. If they lost, I was going to delete it. BTW, I know there is not a shot clock in football. Heat of the moment. Enjoy.

Went to lunch today after Ben’s soccer game. They had an old Ms. Pac man / Galaga combo upright. Major burn on the screen, but it was still fun to play. Click on the link above to see the boys playing Galaga and me trying to coach them.
