If you have driven up and down I-75 in Dayton in the past month you may have noticed a couple giant yellow ducks alongside the highway. These oversized water fowl are not symbolic of the start of duck season, sorry Elmer Fudd, but rather to make people aware of the upcoming Rubber Duck Regatta to […]
On in Waves
Posted on February 2, 2013 //
Today was a snowy Ohio day, so I had a little time to record a song that I recently wrote. The song is called “On in Waves.” I hate to tell people what a song is about, because ultimately you should make any song about what you want it to be about. Still I’ll offer […]
Stay Strong
Posted on December 6, 2012 //
For creative fun, I’ve been playing around with writing some songs, recording them on the ipad, and now testing out uploading them to soundcloud. This song is called Stay Strong. STAY STRONG Come on and walk with me Down past the willow tree They say it weeps But I can’t tell you why We’ll share […]
Professor Bowman
Posted on August 2, 2012 //
As a kid, I was a particularly bad student in school. I wasn’t mean and I always got good grades, but I was still kind of a nightmare for most teachers to deal with – curious, inquisitive, creative, goofy, noisy, and loved to do anything for a laugh. For example… In third grade I once […]

Posted on October 18, 2010 //
Yesterday I completed the Columbus Marathon – my first 26.2 mile run. Even better I got to share the experience with my best friend, my wife Colleen, who was there with me for every step. It has been a long journey for us. Just over a 1 1/2 years ago, we decided to start running. […]

This event is expected to attract between 70 and 100 million visitors, as countries, businesses, and entrepreneurs from around the world seek to gain access to the rapidly growing Chinese markets. Well […]
The Talking Blog
Posted on April 28, 2010 //
My kids watch a cartoon on PBS about a talking dog named Martha. It turns out the dog ate some alphabet soup and through the magic of television, learned how to speak English. However, to the dismay of my children, this post is about talking blogs – not dogs. Thanks to BuzzVoice, my blog can […]
Making The Cut
Posted on March 28, 2010 //
Sunday morning, and time for me, Chef Daddy, to make a pancake breakfast for the kiddos. With little ones, one of the challenges of pancakes is cutting them up in smaller pieces so the kids can eat them without making a mess. Truth be told I like them that way too. Here is a simple […]
Bring Google Fiber to Dayton
Posted on March 19, 2010 //
Google is looking to conduct an experiment where they will provide ultra high speed broadband internet to a community in the United States. Here in Dayton, a group has organized a campaign to bring this project to Dayton. I love the idea, and thought I would do my part to support the cause. The group, […]
Death by PowerPoint
Posted on December 11, 2009 //
Did you know that fear of public speaking ranks above fear of death. Seriously the top three fears are public speaking, death, and spiders. Who knew? Maybe one reason we all fear speaking in front of people is that we don’t want to look foolish. Sadly, the use of PowerPoint as a presentation tool often […]
