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.
From one mother to another
Mom’s rock. They totally do. This is for my mother and for all mothers. Including the guy mothers.
Maybe
Saturday morning I woke up, thought about doing something worthwhile, then went back to sleep for a bit. After waking up I decided to ride my bike and do some soul searching.

My teen enjoys hanging with me?
If you think she let that go, then you obviously don’t understand teenage girls. For the record, I really don’t understand them but I fake it pretty well.

The epiphany

Bully
I was an unpopular kid [I’ll give you a moment to pick your jaws up off the floor] and this song reminded me of all the tormenting, name calling, teasing and mocking at the hands (and mouths) of several of my classmates.
The Grand Re-Opening
Don’t get in line with 25 and pretend you can’t count… The phrase “GRAND RE-OPENING” has always bothered me. A local grocery store currently has a sign out front announcing theirs and every time I pull into the parking lot I ask myself, “How can it be a re-opening if they never…
Mr. Whipple would not approve
Would that be considered third base or was the guy trying to steal home? On Tuesday my brother and I were at work when our friend Sean rolled in to see if we wanted to head over to Costco for a cheap lunch. My brother said yes right away and I figured I would…
Pawprints in the sand
Pretty cool, huh? Recently I’ve been taking my dog, Lucy, to our local dog beach for a two-mile walk. It’s relaxing for me and Lucy gets some exercise and freedom to run off her leash. The exercise is good for me too, though I’m used to being off my leash. The last…
