When the Cards Aren't Fair, Change the Game.
Today I would like to share a story that could only have happened on an adventure like this... In August of 2012, I journeyed to Alaska for a guided tour of the final frontier. The locals up there refer to all of us down here as "you people in the lower 48." It is a … Continue reading CHUCK
Any teacher will tell you that there are stories. Many, many stories. Most times the stories are heartfelt, and innocent kid stuff. Some stories are hilarious, some are tragic, but all of them make great memories and great stories. Here's one that I haven't thought about in a long, long time.... Summer of 2001. In … Continue reading FUNNY, NOT FUNNY
Hello loyal readers and people who accidentally clicked on Moeschen looking for "motion" (no one actually does that...but I'm sure they search those terms the other way around! what?). I've decided to go with some life musings today, with a twist: All of the stuff mentioned below is non-fiction. I hold no judgment of any … Continue reading MUSINGS VOL. 4

Even if you are not a fan of the game, if you live in either city, surely you have heard about these two teams battling each other on the diamond for more than 100 … Continue reading THE RIVALRY

I played locally, watched my home team (Boston Red Sox) on tv as much as possible, and when I couldn't watch, I would listen to the games on the radio. Many late nights I awoke with headphones on still listening to … Continue reading NOSTALGIA

When someone said: "Oh I love Livin' on a Prayer by Journey," I would correct them and say, "You mean Bon Jovi?" Actually, it still bothers me, and then (because I … Continue reading WHAT’S THAT YOU SAY?
When I was a kid, my father repeatedly had discussions with me about the world, and more specifically about two types of people: givers and takers. "Don't be a taker. Be more of a giver." He would say from time to time. My 8 or 9 year-old brain didn't really understand what the hell he … Continue reading ANGEL NURSE
As the IRS' favorite time of year grows near, I would like to shed some light on where a very small sliver of your tax dollars actually go. In 2010, it became apparent that I would no longer be able to drive my Honda Accord, which was my favorite car ever. So choice. If you … Continue reading TAXES AND YOUR MONEY
One of the things that I did to pass the time while I was recovering in the hospital was to mine my brain and pull out funny stories, experiences, and conversations that I have been a part of throughout my life. I gave myself an awful lot of laughs; sometimes out loud. The hospital staff … Continue reading SNOW FUNNY
