Plate spinning is a phrase among PUAs that means they are juggling a lot of chicks. When you become a dad, plate spinning takes on a different meaning. And when you are a Type-A personality, the spinning of enough plates becomes a gravitation force that sucks energy like a black hole for any more plates […]
Kids, Traditions, and Christmas; Plus, Random Thoughts
Call this a random post, but these happen from time to time. Letting you peak into my life. Not a brag at all, just how a regular guy sees this time of year. I should be working right now, but I just can’t. Deal. A recent friend of mine says my kind of work is […]
Marriage is hard, and that’s ok
Remember those days, when you were younger and newly married? Or maybe not even married yet? Life was grand!

They came back from a cruise, kid was sick with stomach pains and diarrhea, went to the doctor undiagnosed, end up in the hospital with unknown infection or virus and died shortly thereafter (still don’t know the reason – […]
Kids + Daylight Savings Time = THE SUCK!
Not sure if you other parents are still struggling with Daylight Savings Time, but we are. It always sucks. Not really for us grownups, we adjust pretty quickly or at least a little easier, but with the kids it’s always a two-week long suck-a-thon until their bodies readjust to the time change. While I’m taking […]
