International Act Like a 7-Year Old Day!
It’s Noah’s birthday yet again. Is this really the fourth birthday post I’ve written for him since I started this blog? Today he turns seven, and as I contemplate just how vibrant and unbelievable a little human being he is, I would like to do something special as always to honor his...

Let’s Just Get Naked
A couple weeks ago, I published my blog post Weird Boobs and Little Wieners, and the response was overwhelmingly agreeable, which to me meant that… 1) an incredible amount of people struggle with feeling like their most treasured physical body parts are going to be heavily scrutinized any time...

20 Ways to Tell When Someone is Acting Out of Insecurity
As I look at it, there are five different types of insecure people: Those who tackle their insecurities with humor. Those who wrap themselves in positivity and pretend they have no insecurities. Those who verbally (and constantly) doubt themselves and put themselves down. Those who make up all...

The Rules We All Must Learn to Break
What are rules, anyway? I mean, there are laws. I’m not talking about those. No, I’m talking about rules. We are surrounded by them, day in and day out, and I have been thinking a lot about rules lately. Where they come from, why we have them, why we obey them or break them. Don’t you think...

A Letter to You. The One Who Stole Her Away for Good.
I really liked her, you know. That girl. Why did you have to steal her away from me? I never stood a chance against you with your fancy modern style and your ability to keep her constantly entertained. She had no need for me. Not really. Not when I think back to those first few dates. I remember…

Weird Boobs and Little Wieners
Get your giggles out now and then let’s jump in. I want to really discuss a very sensitive (and taboo) subject, and yes I am choosing to write this from a purely heterosexual perspective for discussion’s sake. You’re big enough to apply it to your own sexuality if that sexuality is…

When Life Does What She Does and Derails Our Goals
[CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY’S POST IN WHICH I WAS LEFT SITTING ON A COUCH GETTING FATTER AND GROSSER AFTER LETTING A FEW BLOODY KNUCKLES DERAIL MY BIGGEST GOAL] Where was I? Oh yes, sitting on the sofa, hiding my sweat and stink under an old blanket, stuffing my face with Funyuns, watching my…

The Bloody Knuckles that for Some Reason Derailed My Life Goal
I gave it a lot of thought. I spent a lot of money. I put in a lot of time and effort. When I was done, there it was in all its glory… My own simplified cross fit style basement gym, ready for all sorts of incredible and fun full-body exercise routines. Pull-up bars, Swiss balls, a Bosu, free...

My Jimmy John’s Bully - Part 2
CONTINUED FROM THIS MORNING’S BLOG POST: “My Jimmy John’s Bully.†I wrote both of these a couple weeks ago, and wasn’t sure if I’d share one, both, or neither until today. PART 2: I walked back to the sandwich shop. 312 paces from my front door. He wasn’t there. He wasn’t there…

My Jimmy John’s Bully
Bright white shortish hair with the slightest natural curl wisping around the sides. Large, bloodshot eyes, bulging from inset sockets. Prominent cheek bones sitting a top a half-crooked grin full of even more crooked teeth. He is adorned with bountiful pimples and that teenage perma-grease…

The Next Big Step with The Farmer’s Daughter
Whew. I am tired. The Farmer’s Daughter and I just finished packing the last box between our two houses. On Monday she, and I, and Noah all move into our own place together. I’ve never been to this point with any other girl since my divorce. In fact, I’ve never been to this point with any...

Finding the Blood-Covered Towel
In yesterday’s post Too Old to be This Young, I told you all that I was staying with some buddies in The El Cortez Hotel. The El Cortez. The armpit of Las Vegas. In fact, it doesn’t even deserve to be called the armpit of Vegas. It’s more like a hanging wart on the armpit of Las Vegas. I’m...

Too Old To Be This Young
As I type this, I am sitting… nay; I am leaning all awkwardly and sprawled out on a disgusting (and probably diseased) hotel room floor, attempting not to wake up my three traveling companions. It is 2:58 PM in the afternoon. We didn’t go to bed last night. We are in Las Vegas. And of…

Kid Tantrums. Man Tantrums.
Parenting. It’s not always black and white, that’s for sure. In fact, most of the time it’s not black and white. If anything, it’s more like a nice thick sludge of pasty gray, kind of like a bowl full of 2-week-old pâté mixed with a dollop of mud and a pinch of what the heck am I even...

24 More of the Creepiest Things Ever Said by Kids
Over on the SDL Facebook wall, I asked you what the creepiest thing was that you’ve ever heard a kid say. I had no idea what to expect. This is what I got. Plus a few future posts as well. 24 More of the Creepiest Things Ever Said by Kids 1. I was talking to a four year old about new food…

Fatville, Pennsylvania. I mean, Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Okay, here we are again, now firmly planted on airplane number two on our journey home. If you missed yesterday’s post, it highlighted some of the not-so-highlighting parts of the last plane ride. But things are looking up on this airplane. The crapper isn’t within easy elbow’s reach. No…

Epic People Watching - Folks on Airplanes
Very rarely do I get the chance to write a blog post based on a moment I’m witnessing live. But, it’s the season of travel, here I sit on an airplane, and I can’t help but find the people who surround me to be overly fascinating. I should note that Noah and I are wedged side by side into the...

My Response to Ye Late Ones
Yesterday I published An Open Letter to Ye Who is Always Late. And, wow. There were some really happy people who thought that post was great. It was shared a whole bunch. And there were some really agitated and upset people. Several people told me it was the worst thing I’d ever written. I was...

An Open Letter to Ye Who Is Always Late
Dear Ye Who Is Always Late, I feel it my place to honestly share my gratitude for you. You have taught me so much about how thoughtless and uncaring I never want to be. And for that, I am thankful. Because of what you’ve taught me, others will not think the thoughts about me that I so often…
