The Lawn
As Annie Lennox sang, “here comes the rain again,” and for a guy who obsesses about his lawn, and who has two neighbors with yards higher than my yard, and another guy who does zero lawn maintenance, my backyard is still smushy and muddy… Continue Reading “The Lawn”
Three HILARIOUS Things
Sometimes I pop outta bed at 4:45 a.m. and brew my coffee (via Aeropress) and I plan to get alotta stuff done. And then sometimes, I don’t. Like this morning. I checked Facebook and Twitter and came across these and I laughed and laughed… Continue Reading “Three HILARIOUS Things”
The Joy of Breathing from The Moth StorySLAM
If you’ll take the 6-minutes to watch this, please know this …this happened when I was 35 years old. I’m 46-years-old, now. And at the end I act like all at once I figured everything out. You might think for the past 11-years I’ve… Continue Reading “The Joy of Breathing from The Moth StorySLAM”

Yup. Hate to brag, but a couple spots… Continue Reading “Wear Sunscreen. Better Yet, Wear a Sun Hat and Swim Shirt”
I Won Father’s Day and What’s Next
A quick video on winning Father’s Day and announcing I Love Don Week. It’s also a reminder that we’re about half-way through 2018 and we all made New Year’s Resolutions and promises to ourselves. Now’s the time to take a look at that list, recalibrate, and… Continue Reading “I Won Father’s Day and What’s Next”
Dad Diary: Wear Sunscreen
Life is about fooling people and tricking them into things. Right? Like, I tricked my wife into thinking I was a great guy worth marrying, and I fooled her parents into thinking I’d be a good husband to their daughter, but little did they… Continue Reading “Dad Diary: Wear Sunscreen”
Dad Diary: How Dare I?
I have some nerve telling my kids they can “do anything” and should “follow their dreams.” I have no business telling them to “dare greatly” and “don’t be afraid of failure” when I sit here, day after day, knowing I have a book inside me,… Continue Reading “Dad Diary: How Dare I?”
Dad Diary: My Lenten Letter to My Children
Yes, I had a pazcki for breakfast. Yes, I’m going to eat my favorite fast food for lunch. Yes, I’m going to have an Old Fashioned this evening, but it’s Fat Tuesday, for heaven’s sake. However, tomorrow, with the first day of Lent, it’s… Continue Reading “Dad Diary: My Lenten Letter to My Children”
