Had a conversation the other day. Well, it wasn’t a “conversation” in the normal sense of the word. You know — a conversation where two or more people are speaking. This was more of an internal dialogue I was having with… something else. Yes, something. Not someone. A fly. Ok, so here’s the deal. I … Continue reading What’s His Story?

I Must Confess
Let me start off by saying: “It meant nothing.” I mean it.Truly.It meant nothing. It was a one-time thing. I was by myself.I was in Florida.And it was hot. So, so hot.

Forget Me Not
There are two types of people in this world: 1. People who forget things. 2. People who think they don’t forget things… but just forgot that they do. I, for one, like to stay humble… so I forget things constantly just to keep myself grounded. When I was young you couldn’t tell me anything. See, … Continue reading Forget Me Not
The Wait
You know how they say,“It’ll be worth the wait”? Spoiler alert… it’s usually not. The other day, I had to “take a sales call.”You know… THAT moment when the second cup of coffee and your kinda-sorta spicy lunch decide to tag team you. So off I go. Phew… made it in time. But dang… forgot … Continue reading The Wait
Do They Even Know
Tall people know they’re tall.Short people know they’re short. I’m old.And I know I’m old. “But you’re only as old as you feel.” Bite me. I’m old.And I know it. But stupid people…Do they know they’re stupid? MY GOD — that’s an entire BecauseJimSays post right there.It practically writes itself. But back to me. Because… … Continue reading Do They Even Know
On a Serious Note:
Every once in a while, life taps you on the shoulder and says, “Hey… pay attention to this part.” The last three or four months have been full of those moments. For Christmas, my daughter Kate—20 at the time—gave me a gift she could barely contain her excitement over. And when she told me it … Continue reading On a Serious Note:
Life of a Girl Dad (Part 3)
I’ve been on a whole “Girl-Dad” thing lately and these posts all seem to start that way. See, I’ve learned a few things. There are things you prepare for. And then there are things you pretend won’t ever show up. We’ve covered haircuts, that taught me patience. We’ve covered toilet seats, that corrected what I … Continue reading Life of a Girl Dad (Part 3)
The Life of a Girl Dad (continued ….)
As a girl dad, I’ve learned something important. There are many things I do not understand. That’s how my last post started. BUT. There is one thing I thought I understood. And I was confident. So so confident.Confident in my logic.Confident in my reasoning.Confident that my careful thought process would not only be appreciated… but … Continue reading The Life of a Girl Dad (continued ….)

This Has Got to Stop.
But I know it’s not going to. It’s with both excitement and quite a bit of sadness that I tell you – my oldest has turned 20. 20. TWENTY. I’m not ready for that. I’m just getting used to this adulting thing myself, I was dragged into it kicking and screaming. It used to problems … Continue reading This Has Got to Stop.
