Things I Love: Magic

I once taught myself a card trick. I practiced it and practiced it and thought, man, I really have this down cold. Problem was, every time I performed it in front of anyone, they always said, “oh, well, you just had an extra card.”… Continue Reading “Things I Love: Magic”

Things I Love: Powerball and Survivor – I Can Win One of Them

Is it the anticipation? Is it simply the fantasy? Tonight the Powerball drawing will award some lucky guy $400,000,000. I hope it’s me. Also tonight, the new season of Survivor starts on CBS, and after all these years and all these seasons, I still… Continue Reading “Things I Love: Powerball and Survivor – I Can Win One of Them”

Things I Love: Other Bloggers

It’s week three of my #ShareSunday experiment. I had to pick a new #hashtag because #SS is already pretty popular on Twitter, and since I can’t figure out what #SS means (though I’ve concluded it’s not Nazi related, which is a relief), I’ll just… Continue Reading “Things I Love: Other Bloggers”

Things I Love: Great Coffee

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was sitting at a coffee shop run by the biggest coffee brand in the world (which I won’t mention by name) and thinking, “is this really the best coffee can taste? Burnt and acidic?” And with… Continue Reading “Things I Love: Great Coffee”

Things I Love: My Wife and Her Birthday

Yes, I’m going to do it. I wasn’t going to write a blog entry about my wife, but then I read Jeff Goins‘s blog post Three Ways to Write for Yourself, and I changed my mind. It’s not like a thousand people read this… Continue Reading “Things I Love: My Wife and Her Birthday”

Things I Love: Other Bloggers

The tradition continues. It’s only the second week, but to do something two weeks in a row like I said I was going to do? It feels like a major victory. My invented tradition is #ShareSunday, or #SS if you’re going to play along.… Continue Reading “Things I Love: Other Bloggers”

Things I Love: Other Bloggers

You’ve heard of “Follow Friday” on Twitter, right? For those unfamiliar with Twitter, “Follow Friday” is your chance to share with other people on Twitter your favorite Tweeters. Maybe you love your fitness coach, your OB-GYN office, or your home builder and you really… Continue Reading “Things I Love: Other Bloggers”

Things I Love: Anticipation

Last night right at bedtime, my daughter’s iTouch started blowing up with quick hits from her friends that the teacher lists were posted and everyone was declaring which teacher they would have for the 2013-14 school year. She came running down from her bedroom… Continue Reading “Things I Love: Anticipation”

Things I Love: Being Nominated for a Liebster

So, I guess I’m pretty popular in “mommy blog” circles. Check that, I’m popular with one particular “mommy blog” and it’s because it’s written by my sister. In her first couple months of blogging, she’s putting me to shame. But, as her older brother,… Continue Reading “Things I Love: Being Nominated for a Liebster”

Things I Love: My New Merrells and My Friend Kurt

I hope nobody reads this entry or watches the videos. So there I was, bouncing around Facebook as I’m apt to do, and my sister gets to talking about needing a new pair of running shoes like people sometimes talk about on Facebook. I’m… Continue Reading “Things I Love: My New Merrells and My Friend Kurt”
