Ever feel like you’re missing out while someone else has all the fun? Well, to make sure everyone has a chance to give Fresh Take a try, my friends at Kraft are touring the country and coming to a shopping center near you as part of the Fresh Possibilities Tour. It’s not that I’m not [...]
“HI, THIS IS YOUR CHILD’S SCHOOL CALLING…”
Okay, new rule. If you work at a school, hospital, or law enforcement agency and you ever need to call a parent, the FIRST THING out of your mouth should always be “Everything’s alright,” or something to that effect. Unless, of course, everything ISN’T alright, in which case you should skip this step. I just [...]
TIME TO MOW THE LAWN (SNIPS AND SNAILS AND PUPPY DOG TAILS)
I ENJOY MOWING MY LAWN. I’m the first one on my block to get the mower out in the spring and the last one to put it away in the fall. I’m not saying I have the best looking lawn in the neighborhood—that honor belongs to Ron—but I am confident that no one relishes this chore [...]
SCHOOL BREAKS–ARE THEY ALWAYS THIS PAINFUL?
I’ve always questioned the need for February Break. Not from the teachers’ point of view of course because after a week with my kids pent up indoors it becomes obvious to even the casual observer that teachers need a break every month. And somehow they’ve managed to get it. There’s Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, and [...]

SENIOR NETIZEN: YOU MIGHT BE GETTING OLD IF…
The other day I got old, and I’m not sure how it happened. I remember the birthdays going by, and I’ve noticed a gray hair here and there, but it never crossed my mind that someone would ever think of me as old. My boys and I were eating burgers at a local burger chain [...]
MILK: A SHORT STORY IN A TALL GLASS — PLUS, YOU COULD WIN TICKETS TO SUPER BOWL XLVIII
As a parent there will be times when you’ve got to have the tough conversations. Or you can delay and avoid those conversations, thereby requiring your spouse to take care of the difficult discussions. For instance, one of my boys seems to be struggling with doing homework. He does very well at playing video games and spending time [...]
SHARP AQUOS: HOW WILL YOU BE WATCHING THE SUPER BOWL?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock—not that there’s anything wrong with living under a rock—you are aware that Super Bowl XLVII takes place this Sunday (that’s Super Bowl 47 for those of you who don’t speak Roman numerals). While ultimately I would be sitting in front of a Sharp Aquos 60” LED Smart TV [...]
THIS IS WHY MEN HATE FAMILY PORTRAITS
Is there a dad anywhere out there that doesn’t dread Family Picture Day? In the small chance that there is, I present to him the picture shown above. This is one of those portraits that will (unfortunately) forever live in family lore. I can already hear the grandkids…”Remember the time they wore reindeer costumes? Let’s [...]

All internet, all the time. That’s pretty much my personal tagline these days now that I have the NetZero 4G Hotspot. In fact, I’m typing this post on my laptop as I drive in the fast lane at 70mph! (IMPORTANT NOTE: I’m not really driving down the freeway while using the internet—but the takeaway here [...]
