Dad Stuff, Part 7: Re- Crate Training My Dog
Everyone talks about how the pandemic and shelter-in-place has impacted the family dog and I’m here to tell you, after analyzing a control group of one dog (my dog) . . . it’s true. I worked-from-home for almost two years. Now the entire family’s… Continue Reading “Dad Stuff, Part 7: Re- Crate Training My Dog”
Dad Stuff, Part 6: Good, Cheap, Ice Cold Beer
I miss the old days when beer was beer. Beer was mostly Bud Light or Miller Lite (well, actually where I’m from it could’ve also been Budweiser, Strohs, or Schlitz . . . I think those were the brands because those were the sturdy… Continue Reading “Dad Stuff, Part 6: Good, Cheap, Ice Cold Beer”
Dad Stuff, Part 5: Gambling with Kids
Teaching your kids to gamble is important. Remember that classic episode of Leave it to Beaver where Ward took the Beaver downtown and they threw dice in a dark alley? Gambling is as old as time. I might be joking, but not completely. Maybe… Continue Reading “Dad Stuff, Part 5: Gambling with Kids”
Dad Stuff, Part 4: iPhone Cases
Don’t mean to brag, but I recently upgraded to the new iPhone 11. At one time in my life I swore up and down the iPhone 5 was the biggest an iPhone should ever be and all those newer, larger sizes were COMPLETELY unnecessary.… Continue Reading “Dad Stuff, Part 4: iPhone Cases”
I Want Stuff, Part 1: Father’s Day 2020
This whole pandemic shelter-in-place don’t-go-to-work too-much-family-time is very tough for all of us? Ya know what would lift people’s spirits? Getting gifts, that’s what? This Blog feature is a life lesson for my 15-year-old son. Back at Christmastime, his mother and I asked for… Continue Reading “I Want Stuff, Part 1: Father’s Day 2020”
Food Stuff, Part 3: Cauliflower Queso Dip (Plant-Based)
Before we begin, my 15-year-old jerk of a son said I can’t call this “queso” because “queso” translates to “cheese” and this is a vegetarian plant-based recipe, and cheese would make that not so. I have a job. I pay the bills. I’ll call… Continue Reading “Food Stuff, Part 3: Cauliflower Queso Dip (Plant-Based)”
Lawn Stuff, Part 3: Speedzone (and some pulling)

Lawn Stuff, Part 2: More Speedzone
Here’s Day-3. Stuff is already starting to die. What you can’t hear in these photos are the dandelions and violets saying, “Ohhh! You cursed brat! Look what you’ve done! I’m melting! Melting! Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a… Continue Reading “Lawn Stuff, Part 2: More Speedzone”
Lawn Stuff, Part 1: Speedzone
Yes. Another category on this Blog … #Lawn Stuff. When it comes to my lawn, I’m obsessed. Yet, I’m no expert. I don’t have tons of extra money to spend. I don’t want to hire a service (again, the money). I don’t water it… Continue Reading “Lawn Stuff, Part 1: Speedzone”
Food Stuff, Part 2: Cauliflower Plant-Based Hot Wings
If I didn’t mention it in most conversations, didn’t Blog about it, and didn’t post about it on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, you probably wouldn’t even know that I’m living a plant-based lifestyle. “Plant-based” is the cool way to say you’re “vegetarian.” And when… Continue Reading “Food Stuff, Part 2: Cauliflower Plant-Based Hot Wings”
