How To Pack for Summer Camp
The key to having a successful luggage-packing experience is time. Leave yourself enough time to do it right. In other words, DO NOT FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE. In fact, if you’ve landed on this site from a Google search of ‘How To Pack Correctly’ then you’re definitely in the wrong place. On the other hand, remember […]
My Awesome Wholesome Backyard Party
It is a truth universally acknowledged that good times must include good company and good food. The times are even better when they’re outside on a summer evening, paid for by someone else, and include a charitable donation to a worthy cause. The Awesome Wholesome Backyard Party I hosted recently for Ovaltine met all of […]

Family Vacation to Branson
Okay, I admit it. Perhaps Branson, Missouri wasn’t at the top of my list of ‘must-see’ vacation places. In fact, during my 30-state road trip last summer I ended up driving right by without even stopping. As I approached the Branson exit I called my father to ask if there was anything worth seeing, and […]
Review and Giveaway–Toshiba Canvio 3.0 Plus Portable Hard Drive
The first computer I ever bought was an IBM 386 PC. It was slightly used, but I still paid a pretty penny for it. I was willing to pay the extra cost because of the amazing amount of storage on the hard drive—30 megabytes. I couldn’t imagine how I could ever need more space than […]
When Being Healthful, Being Together Counts
If two is better than one, just imagine what you could do with three, four, or even more. This used to be my theory on doughnuts. Please note the words ‘used to’, as in doughnuts are now considered a special treat that I’ve chosen only to enjoy occasionally. With swimsuit season coming up I’ve decided […]
HP TECHNOLOGY SUITE GIVEAWAY…
This is one of those times where it’s important to remember that it’s not all about winning. And to not kill the messenger. Of the approximately 1 million entries (I rounded up to the nearest million) there can be only one…winner (clever Highlander reference). And the winner is… …a very lucky person, indeed. The winner’s […]
Take a Virtual Family Vacation to Universal Orlando Resort With Us
We just got back from Universal Orlando Resort, unpacked our bags, and are now heading back again (good thing we’ve done the laundry!). We knew we were returning 2 weeks later for a trip to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, so the first time around we just caught the highlights (of which there were many). […]
Why Dads Should Attend Mom Blogging Conferences
My lovely wife, Jyl (shown in the pic on the right), co-organizes the annual evo Conference—an event, focusing on the evolution of women in social media. When she asked me to speak last year, I was down. I even wore my ski helmet during the presentation. But speaking is one thing and attending—being a dad […]
