Chewie's Family Room (Twinsburg, Ohio)
We had the family over on New Year’s day for some grazing on great food and to watch the Steelers / Browns game. My wonderful brother brought over a few 12 Dogs Of Christmas Ales… Outstanding!
I had a great Father’s Day this year. Based on the fact that I’m writing this post a month after the fact just goes to show how memorable the day truly was. The day started off on the golf course with my dad and brother. This has become sort of a tradition and one that we really enjoy. It was a beautiful day (at this point) but it was a bit slow on the course. We decided to just play 9 holes and have a leisurely lunch.

There’s recently been a hash tag topic on Twitter called #100FactsAboutMe. The idea is to tweet 100 facts about yourself (I suppose). One afternoon I decided that this would be a great idea cause let’s face it… people want to know all about Chewie. So… without further build up here’s my list:

To make a long story very short, Swami isn’t doing all that well these days. I (like Pip) am not one to ask for prayers from others, but if you’ve got some to share please send them out. She could definitely use them.

Combos, Fireworks and Canoes – The Bachelor In Brookville
“What happens in Brookville stays in Brookville.” Headed into the weekend that was our battle cry. Our mission was simple – to give my little brother one last weekend of bachelorhood. In the words of Peter Venkman: “We came, we saw, we kicked it’s ass!!!”
Friday afternoon, 2 groups (Devin, Mark & I from Cleveland and Phil & Chris from Chicago) set out to converge on Brookville, Indiana where the festivities were to take place. The Cleveland group started out the trip with the musical brilliance of Randy “Macho Man” Savage. Yep… the wrestler. If you’ve never hear Randy on… Continue reading →
