Chad's adventures of shaving, officiating, and life

Okay I love the Sadie Pic! You must be sure and shave that one to show to potential boyfriends in the future!

Seems Mr. M was having a little field day in the cadre over the last few days. Other wise great shave, read, and picture!
Somebody’s in TROUBLE...
leave her like that and she’ll never leave you home alone again..

You guys have no idea this child she's a handful. She's into everything. Connor was so mellow and easy going as a baby, Sadie is the wild child. I fear for her high school years.

My Lilly was the same way. And she starts high school this year!

Well today I went back to the project Icarus. And folks i'm calling it! This is ELITE! It might even be the elite of the elite. The scent on this one is definitely sweet... think lemon bar. But it paired nicely with the Fine today. I highly recommend that you pick up some Icarus soap. I did record the video and after the shave I wanted to push the water band. If you watch the second part of my video you will see what I mean when I discuss water band. That video should be up later today after mass most likely.

None sorry.

Homefront:

So I will not have a shave tomorrow. I have to leave the house tomorrow at 4AM to get to the airport on time. So I am going to shower tonight again and just wake up and go. I'll be back Friday and and have a game that evening. I am bringing gear on the trip and plan to have some nice shaves in the hotel.

Have a great day Cadre!
 
I'm still not ready to proclaim the Icarus soaps Elite...but I am close. Hope you have safe travels!
 
Mmm lemon bars...Glad you’re enjoying the DG.

Safe travels! I don’t envy regular travelers these absurd flight times! In fact, I wonder who the people are that get a normal, mid-day departure time? It always seems like folks I know are leaving some time late night or super early morning. ?
 
Well shoot, I want one of those soaps, but the two scents are grabbing me. Fresh lemon I’d be down for, but not candy lemon.

I have a feeling it will be elite for a lot of people.

Early flights suck. But when they want you in the office Monday afternoon, plus crossing time zones you kind of get stuck with them. I am meeting a co worker in Chicago so I purposely booked a flight with a layover there so that played into it to.

It's not candy lemon like Lemonheads. It is baked lemon like Lemon bars.
 
Have a safe trip. Glad the Icarus is treating you well.

When my daughter was younger, I was tasked on keeping am eye on her while finishing some school work. All was quiet at one point, so I decide to check on her. She had found a Crayola marker and had colored a little on her face. I thought, OK, no big deal, let's just wash it off. We did, and it came off. Later, Tammy went to give her a shower and I then found out that bulk of the coloring was actually to her stomach and chest.

Lol that's a great story.

I’m reminded of this classic video:

That was a nice laugh
 
Well been a long morning already. Our plane was delayed for two maintenance issues. Because someone's seat wouldn't go fully upright, and something with communications. Delayed 90 min so I've lost all layover time now in ORD. Just hoping they don't leave me. I'll have about 15 to get there.

Also happy the company pays for me to be connected on the flights. Makes it nice to have wifi on the plane.

Hoping later this evening Dave will be ready to begin recording the next *Radio Show* but that might be delayed another week also.

Hope you all have a great day!
 
Great couple of shaves Chad, and have a productive trip. Imagine if Megan had to leave for a week on business. Boy we would have some good stories then.
 
I'm picturing Chad running through the terminal like Home Alone 2. Been there, done that many times. Caught them as they were getting ready to close the door a couple times myself!
 
Too bad you don't have enough time in Chicago to visit Merz Apothecary.............Or do you???
