A tribute to Lucy, the rescue dog who has been taking care of J.R. Reed and his daughter for ten years.
Reed My Writing
Youth Without Youth
J.R. Reed muses on a song that brings back memories of younger days.
Learning on the Fly is Totally Scary
“There’s my anxiety, let’s knock it on its ass and go score a goal,” sometimes works in the short term, but isn’t so hot for the long haul.
I was a bad Little Leaguer
Hilton HHonors is hooking up two of my readers with a baseball related prize package. Two winners will each receive: an official Little League Sports Bag, Little League Aluminum Water Bottle, Rawlings MLB Official Baseball, DVD of Moneyball, The Art of Fielding novel, David’s Sunflower Seeds and a pack of Topps 2012 baseball cards.
This bud’s for you
Anyway, the times Mrs. Something had me read aloud and I was having an herbal moment, I would be reading and then think oh shit I think I’m reading too slow or too fast and then words would just sound really funny to me so I would start laughing.
Chorizo con yummy stuff
To me breakfast is loaded with flavor. There’s nothing wrong with a muffin or oatmeal but I prefer something with a little kick. That’s probably why there’s almost always chicken chorizo in my fridge and fresh jalapenos on the counter.
Magnificent Moms–Mama Kat
When we’re not walking to parks, learning letters, making playdough, tattling on friends, getting crafty, eating breakfast, lunch, and various snacks…we’re totally doing nothing.
Rain
Two Wednesdays ago, it rained. I decided to take a walk out to the boat house as the rain poured down from the clouds floating overhead. I walked slowly and deliberately, without shoes. My feet sank into the wet grass and squished into the mud beneath.
Rad Dads–Mocha Dad
I’d want Superman on the job. People look down on Superman because he’s so goody-goody. But he’s super strong and nearly invincible.
To Glee or not to Glee
My 14-year-old daughter, who I lovingly refer to as Drama Queen thinks Glee is all that and a big bag of chips. As a 46-year-old heterosexual Caucasian male, I think its lame.
Spice up your rack
When it comes to creating magic in the kitchen I tend to spice things up a bit. And no, I’m not talking about kitchen sex. It doesn’t matter if you’re a world class chef or if you rock a hot plate like no other, there are a few things that you always want at your fingertips. I guess you would call them your “go to” items
Magnificent Moms–Amanda Austin
No Radio Shacks, but the electronics department at Walmart is bangin’.
From one mother to another
Mom’s rock. They totally do. This is for my mother and for all mothers. Including the guy mothers.
Would you like to smell my flower?
I have told every single guy (and girl) I’ve ever dated this fact to avoid them bringing me flowers. It’s not that I wouldn’t appreciate the gesture. The thing is, the gesture of wanting to bring or send me flowers for no reason is quite nice. I’d rather it never happen, though.
JR Reed Show May 9, 2012
Today I “discuss” Amanda Bynes, Octomom, Kanye West , what to get your MILF for Mothers Day and more.
Rad Dads–Jack Steiner
That’s Jack in all his glory. He’s someone I look up to and I’m appreciative of his straight forward answers. “With a keyboard and a computer,” might seem like he put no thought into it but I know he did. I also know he answered the question exactly as I asked it and I should have known better than to ask a smart ass a question like that.
