So 2017 was very stressful for me, but we had a lot of good things in there too. My wife and I did a trip to Dominican in February. We bought a pop-up camper and did a long road trip to some great scenery in South Dakota. We got a rescue puppy who is pretty […]
Simple Life; Bad Week; Great Day
(Finally posting this, about a month old) Prologue: This was one of the weirdest, hardest, and drama filled weeks of my life. One of our former coworkers, and one of my boss’s best friend, died this week. Add to that clients upset over typical change orders, and a project moving south fast that will take […]
Popup Dad: A Griswold -type family roadtrip adventure (Honda Odyssey with Rockwood 2280 towing to South Dakota)
You aren’t going to see too many great views in this post, just a few quick shots of our trip. I am a family guy, like my hero Clark W. Griswold. This is my life. My wife likes a lot of drama and stress, hence we finished our upstairs flooring, got a new puppy, and […]
What I’ve been up to lately (average married dad photos)
I haven’t been writing much at all. At least not here. Work as a Corporate Ladder Climber takes a lot of time. I do my best to be a good corporate soldier, but my happiness comes from simple things. Family. Sex. Nature. You know, the important stuff. So I’ve been happy given the obligations of […]
That time my wife lost her well paying job
This happened just a few years ago, I probably wrote about it before, but it illustrates how life can change on a dime and the importance of having your personal finances in order to mitigate the damage. We were about a year into our home ownership in a higher cost of living community. That meant […]
What if you don’t want to fuck your wife anymore?
I got the following comment on one of my posts: What if you don’t want to fuck your wife anymore? Then what? You can’t push a rope up hill. Can’t afford to divorce and don’t want to leave the kids high and dry. Once a week? Fuck you. Not sure what the Once a week/Fuck […]
Red Pill Marriage – Cliff’s Notes (and a note on a future Podcast)
So I sometimes forget that I’ve been at this for a long time. It has been years for me since I felt that tugging malaise of a marriage and sex life falling into the doldrums as childreering became the focus. I’m far from a master at marriage or this Red Pill stuff, but I’ve come […]
You Must Make Relationship Time Without Kids
Our lives change when kids enter the mix. Gone are the care-free days we so frequently wasted with our partner, not appreciating how rare the would be once the drunk midgets came into our lives. The focus instantly changes from ‘You and Me’ to ‘Keep the babies alive and happy.’ I’m a family man through […]
Red Pill Marriage Resources
Going on my Red Pill journey Athol Kay was a beacon in the night. He had a whole variety of posts that he eventually turned into a great book (The Married Man Sex Life Primer – which, while a little corny at times, should be on everyone’s reading list, along with his other book The […]
Average Married Dad’s Holiday Shopping Ideas
I am not a big consumer or shopper, but when I do buy something, it is at Costco or Amazon. Costco is actually mostly groceries, but Amazon has yielded so many treasures. To be upfront, I get a small fee for any Amazon item bought, but it doesn’t cost you anything, so click on through […]
