  • Once More Unto the Breach

    If you look at the post dates on this blog, you’ll see that there’s more time spent NOT posting than posting. You’ll also notice that there’s also several posts like this one. Restarting. Beginning anew. Etc. Etc. Writing about things I am passionate about, such as my faith, has always given me joy. Lately though…

  • Happy Birthday to Me.

    Today I turn 40. Still seems weird. Not freaked out about being 40 so much. I don’t feel that old. Feel more like I am 30 or 32, give or take… What freaks me out is where did the last 20 years go? I must say I am nowhere near where I thought I would…

  • More on that New Little Maniac…

    Actually found this out not long after the last post, but it’s been busy, what with hand therapy, kids being out of school, etc. etc…. We are having a BOY!!!!!! Woooooooo-Hoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that I wouldn’t love another girl at all. Absolutely I would. But I am like every guy out there. We want a boy.…

  • That New Little Maniac…

    Still on the way. Mom and baby are doing great so far. Got to feel the baby move for the first time last weekend. Could barely tell, but definitely there. Way cool stuff. Next week we find out if we are having a boy or girl. God knows I will love the baby no matter…

  • Back to Two Hands

    Back to two hands… Six weeks ago today I had surgery on my right ring finger to set a fractured bone at the very tip and to reattach the tendon at that point. Had my hand in a cast for all that time since and got the cast and the final suture (down through the…

  • New Little Maniac Coming in October!

    Greetings Fellow Maniacs! Been busy obviously of late. No posting and all. But I return with awesome news! Mrs. Fric and I have been blessed with the impending arrival of a new little Maniac! This is our third child and the older two are actually excited rather than mortified. Considering the age differences (9 and…

  • Sorry for the Lack of Posting Lately…

    But been busy with the new job and the old side work. Also moving the CM stuff to a new server. So that should be interesting. We have been getting a lot of hits on our site from search engines on things like “lutherism” (I accidentally misspelled LutherAnism), Fr. Corapi and more. It will be…

  • What never changes

    Its hard to believe I have now been out of Louisville KY for a year and a half. In fact I have not seen any of the Maniacs since the Christmas of 04 though we do converse by email often. Some things a person would like to think are unchangable but the older I get…

  • Hope Everyone Had a Happy New Year!

    Happy 2006 everyone! I know I am late with those well wishes… Ah well. Too busy yesterday with trying to get some work done on the old job so I can move on to the new job. Hopefully I can get that done ASAP and have some time off before I must start the new…

  • We Got a New Priest

    First time for me as a Catholic. Being only 3 years into it, I have had the same priest all that time. Should be interesting to say the least. Fr. Maurice was much loved by many adults and ALL the kids. Of course looking like Santa helps. He was much… liked less… by many other…
