The Man Cold–What Every Woman Needs To Know
Today’s topic will be serious and short. Serious, because it deals with a malady of epic proportion–a plague that will soon sweep like a tsunami across the northern hemisphere. Short, because the first wave has already landed in my home and affected someone I love, namely, me. The condition…Man Cold. Very little can be done […]
A MOVING STORY IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE
So here’s the deal. My wife is so enamored with me and my writings that she occasionally hijacks my stories and posts them on her blog. Of course I’m flattered, but the result is that it benefits her throngs of loyal readers rather than mine (both of them. Hi Mom!). Most men may not feel […]
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 […]
PEANUT BUTTER STICKS TO ALL THE WRONG PLACES
Now don’t get me wrong, I love peanut butter as much as the next dad, in fact, probably more than most. In my house we only buy Jif peanut butter, because even though I’m a dad, I’m also a choosy mutha (aside: If you don’t get that hilarious reference then you obviously didn’t grow up […]
I’LL BE RITZIN’ IT UP FOR THE HOLIDAYS
You’re guaranteed to find at least three things around our house during the holidays: stress, Christmas spirit, and RITZ crackers. To mix things up, this year we’ve also added what feels to me like a combination of a Grade A Man Cold and Stage 3 Swine Flu. My wife is rolling her eyes as I […]
CUSTOMER SERVICE: PRESS 1 FOR CUSTOMER CARE
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 […]
WI-FI: NETZERO 4G MOBILE BROADBAND REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY ($800 PRODUCTS AND SERVICES)
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 […]
RECIPE FOR FUN: KRAFT CHEESE FOR HOLIDAY PARTIES
What do you do when your wife plans a weekend with seven co-workers and their families? Hang on tight, and have fun! We kicked off the beginning of the holiday party season with a multi-family getaway that included 14 adults and what seemed like 20-30 kids. I was never quite sure how many there were […]
