My First Blog

My first Blog!!
How do you start? Where do you start?

Well, I’ll introduce myself then go from there. I’m 41-years old, have to children Noah age nine, Riley age six. Divorced but oddly enough still good friends with the “mother of my children,” good friends, just fell out of love I guess.

I live in Perry, actually North Perry with a wonderful view of the nuclear plant in my back yard, love it there though.Grew up on the west side of Cleveland in the little town of North Ridgeville, which is in Lorain County. Comedian Martin Mull also grew up in North Ridgeville, only famous person I know of from North Ridgeville.

My hobbies include anything sports, more so playing them than just watching them. My favorite sport is football, however I enjoy baseball more, let me explain. When I watch football, I try and break the game down, try and see if my play calling would be the same as the coaches. I’m all about the X’s and O’s with football. Baseball, I’m still learning. There is so much to baseball, so many different situations and approaches. But mainly the games are played outside when the weathers nice. How can you go wrong with sunshine, cold beer and hot dogs? I relax when watching Baseball and really just enjoy the game by not analyzing.

Big thing for me is my running. I run 40-50 miles a week, sometimes more. To me running is peaceful. When you run, no one can bother you or interrupt you unless they also want to run. It’s you, your sneakers and the road. Your mind is free to think and go where it wants. If you’re a runner you know what I mean if not, try it for a while its great. I was going to run the Cleveland Marathon on May 18th but have stress fractured my left foot and am concerned I may do more damage if I run. Still might though, I will have to keep you up to date. In a nut shell, that is who I am.
