Review: Midland SAME All-Hazard Handheld Weather Alert Radio
The more you sweat in practice, the less you’ll bleed in battle. I saw this slogan on a softball tee shirt today, and thought it rather fitting to kick off my 5-days of Hurricane Preparedness posts where I will be going over key components of my family’s hurricane preparedness.

Lacto-Paleo Ham-Wrapped Fried Cheese sticks
We spent last weekend at a girls’ fastpitch tournament in Sebring, FL, and lived out of our minivan, tent, and cooler. Feeding a family of four out of a cooler makes for limited options. Smelling the fried food in the concession stand, my wife stated she was going to “fall off the (Paleo) wagon”, and […]

Man’s best friend. If you are a dog person, you understand this phrase. (If you are a cat person, why are you even here? You should be in therapy NOW!) Until last year, I had been without a dog in my life for almost two decades, and I thought that was OK. Since adding Muse […]
