I’m Right Here There is something I genuinely enjoy about the four of us going out to dinner. Not the food.(Not really.) It’s the moment.All four of us at the same table. No carpools. No practices. No “I’ll just meet you there.” Just us. Now—like any modern American family—there are occasional phone sightings. A scroll … Continue reading As a Girl Dad – Part 4
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
Yes — I do have a list. (redone)
And make no mistake — it’s a real list. And once you’re on it… you’re on it. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything is going to happen.But if something does happen someday, well… then hey… they were on the list. My list is called: “People I Want To Punch In The Face.” Have I actually … Continue reading Yes — I do have a list. (redone)
Life Is Better Along the Edges
I’m a simple man. I like simple things. Take Macaroni and Cheese. Most people want that soft, gooey center. The creamy middle. The Instagram portion. Not me. Give me the edges. The crisp parts.The corners.The slightly over-baked, maybe-a-little-too-brown, definitely-not-going-on-the-cookbook-cover edges. Some people call them burnt. I call them fully committed to being cooked. Maybe even … Continue reading Life Is Better Along the Edges
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…
On A Roll
Oh, I do enjoy a good tuna fish sandwich.On a roll.On bread.White bread. Wheat bread. Makes no difference.Heck, balance it gently in a scoop on top of a salad and call it “low carb” if that makes you feel responsible. But let’s be honest.It’s a sandwich. Not a wrap.That’s its destiny. And yes…I prefer make … Continue reading On A Roll
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
The Little Kernal That Could NOT – redone
So … (Yeah. I did it again. And yes — I know it drives some of you crazy when I start a post like that. You’re welcome.) I’m standing in the kitchen.Pajama pants.One sock.No plan for the evening other than carbs. The popcorn machine is whirring like it’s powering a small village.We’ve got one of … Continue reading The Little Kernal That Could NOT – redone
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
