Grocery Shopping From a Dad’s Perspective
Before reading this post, there’s something you need to know: I am a man, and the thoughts that follow are written from a man’s perspective. I say this to establish my credibility. As with most subjects there may be many points of view but at my house, when it comes to shopping for groceries there’s [...]
Being in Redbook–Salma Got a Pic, But My Font Was Bigger
I really enjoy Salma Hayek. Friendly, outgoing, and very easy on the eyes. Now I can only hope she’s as good a sport as she is an actress. In Exhibit A, to the left (the November 2011 issue of Redbook Magazine), in the upper right you will see in a subtle yet not insignificant font [...]
Getting Healthy With Amway Nutrilite Nutritional Supplements (Giveaway)
When I got back from Denver the other day I was feeling pretty good. Spending time with Olympic-caliber athletes, being at a marathon, and learning about nutritional supplements will do that. I was there courtesy of Amway Nutrilite–the global leader in sales of vitamins and supplements and a major sponsor of the Rock ‘n’ Roll [...]
Top 10 Things Never to Say to a Man You Love
***I’ve re-posted this article to celebrate my latest contribution to Redbook Magazine, scheduled to hit newsstands this week.*** So the strangest thing happened the other day.

Customer Service is Now “Press 1 for Customer Support”
Today I called my insurance company. It wasn’t a pleasant experience. First, I called and waited on hold for 20 minutes. Then when they finally picked up they said I had the wrong department. They gave me a different number to call (no, they couldn’t transfer me). I called the next number and waited on [...]

Helping a Friend May Not Convenient, But It’s What Friends Do
Today was as packed as any other day. Get the kids dressed, fed, and take them to school. Come home and jump on a conference call. Work on the computer for three hours. Throw in a load of laundry. Go to a meeting. Return home and prepare for the busy part of the day–when the [...]
OxiClean Product Review–Should a Man Really Be Doing Laundry?
Formerly solid-white karate pants I’m writing this in lower case because I don’t want my wife to hear. This post is about laundry, and the last thing I want her to learn is that I not only washed some clothes, but even tried an advanced stain removal technique. That’s a slippery slope, my friend. And [...]
Have You Ever Been Bullied?
When I was a kid, bullying was frowned upon but that’s about it. If something happened at school a common response would be for the teacher to simply say, “Well, he’s a bully.” Apparently, a child couldn’t help if he was a bully any more than he could help being left-handed. I may not have liked [...]
A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Awesome Day
“I Love You Dad” I couldn’t find the keys to the car. My wife was out of town. The kids were driving me crazy. I had a headache. My son broke his glasses in a fit of anger. While working in the yard a large thorn pierced my thumb. My football team got clobbered by its [...]
