The Dawn of Don and Dad Fuel
Today was my first day of Dad Fuel. A couple months ago I read something or listened to a Podcast (go ahead, my whole family laughs at me, too) and it said, “the best way to take ‘greens’ type drinks is first thing in… Continue Reading “The Dawn of Don and Dad Fuel”
Dunbar’s Number and Angel Whispers
I think about my friends a lot. I think about former co-workers a lot. I think about family members a lot. And when I think about these people, my mind races with thoughts of, “I should text so-and-so,” or, “I wonder how the heck… Continue Reading “Dunbar’s Number and Angel Whispers”
The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, #6: Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
In the ’80s, teenagers were faced with a musical fork-in-the-road. Before the ’80s, it was a Top-40 dominated world and most artists tried to make songs that landed them in the American Top-40. For most people, if a song was on the radio and… Continue Reading “The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, #6: Losing My Religion by R.E.M.”
The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, #7: Somebody That I Used to Know
I was lucky. My parents had a wonderful, normal, healthy relationship. I met my soulmate when I was 15 and started dating her when I was 18 (going on 19) and we’ve been together ever since.

2025 Goals Check-In, Month-1

For years, he publicly lists all his goals and then, equally publicly, updates his progress. Good and bad. Successes and failures. It’s what makes… Continue Reading “2025 Goals Check-In, Month-1”
Mary Lou and the Cabbage Patch Kids
I’m writing this Blog entry on what would’ve been my Mom’s 79th birthday. Happy heavenly birthday, Mom. My siblings and I are “80s Kids”. Born in the ’70s and grew-up in the ’80s. Star Wars. GI Joe. MTV. After school specials. The Cosby Show.… Continue Reading “Mary Lou and the Cabbage Patch Kids”
Commercial Critique: Discover Card
I’m a stickler for a good commercial. I overanalyze commercials. Probably because I consider myself part of the “advertising community”. The latest commercial I’ve noticed is from Discover Card and features Matt Leinart. In this ad, a guy (a Dad/dude) notices he’s standing next… Continue Reading “Commercial Critique: Discover Card”
A Mnew Mnemonic: Phone on Four for Four
If you ask some people, they’ll say I’m forgetful. It’s not true. My problem is, when people are talking to me, sometimes I’m not listening intently. That’s a bad habit and I’m working on it. When I want to remember things and work at… Continue Reading “A Mnew Mnemonic: Phone on Four for Four”
