Over this past weekend, my kids (ages 6 & 3) didn’t quite make it to bed at their normal bedtime. Usually, they are in bed and ready for sleep by 8:30. This past weekend, because our friends were in town, they were in bed at 11pm on Friday and then a little after midnight on Saturday. [...]

This morning I was out tossing the ball with Christopher. Back and forth, back and forth. One got away from me and after I went to retrieve it, Christopher told me about a game that he just made up while I was fetching the ball. It goes something like this (as told by Christopher, my [...]

Last night I was sitting on my front steps, drinking a Snapple and watching the lightning bugs flitter around my front yard. I don’t remember the last time I did that, but as I sat there, I drifted down memory lane and thought about how many times as a kid I used to just sit [...]

What is wrong with me today? I don’t know if I got out of bed on the wrong side (and which side IS that anyway? I am so sick of hearing that…), or if I have a case of the Wednesdays (an “Office Space” reference. Look it up… 
or if I just don’t give a [...]

I know I complain a lot about watching my 2 children, but it really isn’t their fault that I’m a miserable old man. Seems like all they really wanna do is play and have fun. I’m the one that has worries and responsibilities! I realized this today as I went to the park with my [...]

Drinking my morning coffee and reading the paper. Let’s see…people are ticked off at gas prices. People are driving less because of gas prices. Kentucky won’t be able to repair roads because people are buying less gas. WAIT A MINUTE! Flipping over to the editorial pages, there’s a nice big article by Kathleen Parker of [...]

I have the weekend off! Very exciting, huh? And the wife and her friend are going to Nashville to eat ribs and listen to some country music. So what am I going to do while she is gone? Me and just the 2 kids? I figure I have a schedule for that for both Saturday AND [...]

I have known my share of women in my day. I grew up in a house full of them (5 by my count), dated several women through the years, been married twice, worked with a boatload of ‘em. However today was the day where I learned just how different we can be. Today…I hung out [...]

Goin’ to Target this morning. Got stuff to buy and I’m taking the kids. It’s always a risky venture, taking the kids to Tar-ghay. Especially since Mom has a whole different agenda whenever she goes. I usually have only one thing in mind when I go to Tar-ghay…bathroom supplies. I need shaving cream and soap. [...]
