And then sometimes you try to teach your wife to play piano…

January 23, 2015 Kelly Kirby

Seven years ago, I tried to teach my wife to play piano.  We lasted three full lessons that included multiple instances of her shoving her hands under her armpits a la Superstar and shaking her head, refusing to try whatever was to come next.

Happy Anniversary to Sassy and Me

February 24, 2014January 7, 2015 Kelly Kirby

On a quiet Wednesday night in February 2014, my wife and I had a long discussion about our end-of-life plans, most especially our expectations for the obituary/eulogy we would need from one another. She demanded that "Sassy" be included in the newspaper as though it was a nickname that everyone was aware of... and not… Continue reading Happy Anniversary to Sassy and Me

Imagine seeing this post from someone with such enthusiasm for baseball and having your reply be some negative jackassery about why the U.S. lost and why "no one cares."

What a dumb way to approach life.

Super sorry to all the WBC haters for that Ohtani/Trout matchup to decide it all because that's just beautiful, unscripted, untimed drama we were all blessed with and should be thankful we got to experience.
