Yes, that’s right: you should watch as much television as you want. And, I would suggest that you watch some good television with your family. And, I’d like to mention: television is one of the best ways to grow your mind and strengthen your relationships. Sure, television has gotten a bad rap, but you have [...]
I live in a house with seven times zones and my ribs still hurt. Also, I did a bad thing in college and snuck out and saw a movie after curfew and I lied. And, I was the Resident Assistant responsible for enforcing the rules of the college with the guys in the house on [...]

We’ve been visiting a local church and the boys are really clueless. Both Colin and Evan have eaten breakfast, but as soon as they walk into the foyer, they are eying the food (”refreshments”) on the church-length folding table. Last week, the church had a special part in their service for those who wanted to [...]

The events of the past weekend and culminating at noon yesterday has left me a bit smug. And it really has more to do with the people talking about the event rather than those who were actually there. See, President Barack Obama came to Elkhart, Indiana and held a nationally televised town-hall meeting in Concord [...]

Some call me “obsessed.”
I’m growing tired of people talking about my coffee. Honestly, it’s none of your business how much coffee I drink or what variation I have in my venti cup. Perhaps a couple of times a week, some yahoo will conclude “You’re obsessed with coffee, you know?”

We bought Evan an iPod Shuffle for Christmas this year and later, during Winter [...]

The boys find talking about farting as being pretty funny. And they’ve just spent the trip from South Third Street to piano lessons in the 1993 Ford Escort Wagon while it was snowing trying to come up the substitute words for fart. Lori laid down the law in her frustration with the boys starting the [...]

My mom missed my birthday this year and she didn’t call until Friday. My birthday was Tuesday and so she missed my birthday by three days. Don’t worry, I’m not crying about it, I’m just making note of it.
Good thing she doesn’t make note of the many times I called the next day after [...]

We had this plan to invite our friends over for a joint-birthday party. We were going to send out “Save the Date” postcards or e-cards with something like “The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything.” But as we got out of September and then on to the week of Thanksgiving, Lori asked me “So, [...]
