Last December I moved back to Michigan after living in Las Vegas for over a year and Phoenix before that.

Everything started out great! I flew my long childhood friend Mike out to Vegas to help me with the drive back across the . . . Read More..

Every kid goes through a pyro phase right? And you know that if it involves something that you shouldn't o as a kid...me and Sean were all in. About the time that we found the anarchist's cookbook online ( I was in 7th grade and Sean in 5th) we had a lot of tricks up our sleeve.

We found this one entry about a liquid that burned hotter and longer than gasoline, it is called naepalm ( I botched the spelling there). So we added styrofoam to gasoline until it stopped dissolving and we had naepalm in an old can in the back of my dad's house.

we started by lighting small amounts and watching it burn until we accidentilly spilled the can of flammabile liquid all over the sidewalk.

This was no joke, next thing I knew there were flames on the sidewalk 10 feet tall! One of ran and grabbed the hose after the laughter dies down and we realized this was deep crap and the could catch on fire any minute. The water from the hose just seemed to spread the giant flames that were quickly out of . . . Read More..

My mom hates Spiders so she will always freak out and scream when they are in the house. "Micheal!" you hear getting screamed from another part of the house. We would all come running to find a nasty Spider crawling on wall ( simliar to the page of this site).

So what my father would do is get a kleenex and rip it in half. He would take the half with the Spider in it and through the half away. Then he would chase my mom around the house with the other (clean) half of the kleenex and she would yell and scream and about the point that she was getting really mad he would blow his nose in the kleenex and throw it away. I remember this happening so many times growing up that I cans till hear my moms voice saying "Micheal you're soooogroooosss!!!"

When my younger brother Sean was a little kid he always likedto catch things outside. He was really big into catching bugs and turtles and frogs. Well I remember when he caught this huge bull frog back in the swamp behind the house about as big around as a basketball. To this day it is the biggest frog that I've seen. Well he holding the frog with two hands and showing it off to everyone "look what I caught!" Well all of a sudden the frog started to pee all over Sean's hands. "eeewwwww". I think that's when he let the frog go back to the swamp.

We all know that David likes to babysit the younger cousins. When Sean and I were kids he babysat us too.
One time while watching us David thought that it would be really funny to get me and Sean to pick up the phone and call 911. Being the impressionable little kids that looked up to our older cousins that we were Sean and I took his advice and dialed 911 then hung up.
Well soon after that there was a cop at our door wondering where the emergency was.

Sheila really loved you that day David.
