I Love Don Week 2025
Much has been written about “I Love Don Week” over the years so you might think there’s nothing left to say. Wrong. We’re days away from the 52nd kick-off of “I Love Don Week” and while it’s not what is used to be, it’s… Continue Reading “I Love Don Week 2025”
Detroit Coffee Passport – Drifter Coffee
Here’s another gift from Kathy that shows why surrendoring in the “gift giving winning” contest was the right move. I can’t do what Kathy does. The latest? For Father’s Day, she got me the Detroit Coffee Passport. It’s cool! And cute! And perfect for… Continue Reading “Detroit Coffee Passport – Drifter Coffee”
Dad Fuel – Week 1 Analysis
I know full well this might be a placebo effect, but Dad Fuel for breakfast feels life-changing. Trust me. I get it. If I lived in a small town in Iowa in the early 1950s and a true, actual snake oil salesman came to… Continue Reading “Dad Fuel – Week 1 Analysis”
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”
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. She’s normal. SHw as normal then. And is… Continue Reading “The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, #7: Somebody That I Used to Know”
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”
The 2024 Christmas Card Letter
I love getting Christmas cards. I appreciate the generic. It’s nice to know someone thinks enough of me to address an envelope and write a little something, even if just “Miss you” or “Let’s get together in the new year.” I really like cards… Continue Reading “The 2024 Christmas Card Letter”
Announcing My 2025 Goals
I love New Year’s Resolutions, fresh starts, resets, lists, and especially To-Do Lists. I like writing things down (or Blogging about them, same dif’) because it helps me remember. Readers know I use Cal Newport’s Time-Block Planning each day, giving each minute of each… Continue Reading “Announcing My 2025 Goals”
