The Day I Forgot My Pants at Hockey Practice I’m not sure how many times my boys have run out of the locker room or texted me they forgot some major piece of equipment before a hockey game or a practice. I’ve raced back home, I’ve gone to the hockey equipment store, and rummaged through… Continue reading The Day I Forgot My Pants at Hockey Practice
What an absolute mess we are in. Luke, who just turned 12 in Quarantine, told me "Man this quarantine is going by pretty fast." I looked at him like he had three heads. "It is?!" I replied. "Well yeah we've been doing school for three weeks now, so we've already been on quarantine for four… Continue reading What a Mess
As far as apocalypses go, this one has been pretty depressing. There has been not one single zombie. I have saved up all this ammo for nothing. I am not meaning to demean the crisis that we are currently in, nor the death and illness and fear it has wrought. I am saying for me… Continue reading So, How’s Your Apocalypse Going?
If you are not aware of the brothers Robinson, they are the founding members of my all time favorite band The Black Crowes. If you don’t know the Black Crowes, I highly suggest you give them a listen. They write and perform some of the most soulful music you will ever hear out of a… Continue reading Thank You Chris and Rich Robinson
Don't worry Mom, church people, and Ashley, "FU" = Forget You. There will be some stronger language coming up though. I am sorry. My whole life people have told me, "You're so good with words," and "You should be a writer." Yesterday I went to see my dear friend Stephanie at the hospital. You see… Continue reading #FUleukemia #Stephanie Strong #Morans Can #Moran Mafia

This morning I sit and remember the events of that day and listen to music I can sing out loud in my empty house. I find myself thinking… Continue reading Remember 9/12?
My wife often likes to tell me during particularly stressful hockey games that the outcome, “has no effect on your life.” To an extent I guess that is true. My life does go on. The sun comes up and goes down, still have to feed the dogs and cut the grass and so on. However,… Continue reading Hockey and Philosophy
At 45 years old I have definitely become a “get off my lawn” kind of guy. Well not literally, because my lawn looks like crap and I don’t actually care all that much. I’d really like to pour gravel all over it and plant some cactus and install some cool lights like we live in… Continue reading Rant of a Crabby Hockey Dad
I realize I am quite behind in my blogging if anyone still reads these. I hope you had a great Christmas and or holidays. I did. It was pretty crazy and went by way too fast. I have been rolling over this subject in my mind forever. I couldn’t quite get my tone calmed down… Continue reading All I Wanted for Christmas was a Border Wall.
Well my thoughts are just kind of all over the place today. It’s been awhile. Not sure anyone is paying attention, but here it goes. We lost Stan Lee and George H.W. Bush and they are in my mind two heroes. They are completely different, but heroes nonetheless. Stan Lee passing away really bummed me out. … Continue reading Heroes
