Sneezy
There are some things about me you might not know.And then there are things you absolutely know… whether you wanted to or not. 1 example I am a loud sneezer. Not “oh, excuse me” loud.Not “polite tissue dab” loud. I’m talking:sonic boom meets gunshot meets small controlled explosion. And just when you think it’s over……it’s … Continue reading Sneezy
Cheese and Crackers
Life is hard.Not “stub your toe and move on” hard.I’m talking existential dread with a side of breaking news alert hard. EVERY SINGLE DAY !!! Everywhere you turn—news, politics, religion, social media—it’s like walking into a room where everyone is already yelling…and nobody remembers why. Hate.Hate.HATE. I hate all the hate. And then…the other night… … Continue reading Cheese and Crackers
Talking in Your Sleep
Recently we made the bold, financially responsible, wildly unexciting decision to switch from Amazon Music to Spotify. Why? Because I operate on a highly sophisticated household budgeting system known as:“Whichever one is cheaper right now wins.” Turns out Spotify is cheaper.WHO KNEW? My wife knew.Which is why we switched. So now I’ve been riding shotgun … Continue reading Talking in Your Sleep
We All Had Heroes.
I certainly had one. To this day – I still admire him. And I use the term “him” oddly, because I know there is no real “him”. He wasn’t real. But the idea of “him” was always real. And yes, I still admire him. Nothing ever got him down. Nothing bothered him. Any bad situation … Continue reading We All Had Heroes.
It’s a New Season
I do enjoy when a new season is upon us. There’s something about that first stretch of warm spring days. Not just one teaser day in March where everyone wears shorts and then it snows the next morning. No. That is some top shelf BS right there. I’m talking about that string of nice days … Continue reading It’s a New Season
Surviving Disney
We Overcome - We Adapt We also range somewhere in between compromise and being beat down into submission Guys are inherently doofuses. It’s not that we choose to do the wrong thing — it’s more that we simply don’t know any better. We wander through life thinking we’ve got it all figured out… until a … Continue reading Surviving Disney
Now What…
Here it is. March. Early March.The days are getting longer.The sun’s hanging around a little later.There’s that one guy wearing shorts when it’s still 42 degrees. Yes, that’s me. Stupid groundhog. You already know how I feel about that furry little meteorologist from Punxsutawney. Don’t get me started. Because while everyone else is celebrating “spring … Continue reading Now What…
Big Big Difference
There are literally dozens of readers of my blog.Dozens. And I appreciate every single one of you. As a loyal reader, you already know a few things about me: I’m a Girl-Dad. I’m a grown-ass man. I know absolutely nothing about women. Now before you nod in agreement — I have learned things about women. … Continue reading Big Big Difference
Enough Is Enough
Me? I’ve had it. Enough. Seriously. I bet he’s enjoying himself.I bet he’s down there right now… kicked back… feet up… cozy in his little burrow Airbnb… central heat, zero wind chill… surrounded by woodland buddies. Probably sipping hot cocoa. Looking outside. Laughing. LAUGHING. AT US. We’ve been good to him. We gave him a … Continue reading Enough Is Enough
