A Strange Brew
Many people call them pre-humans because they are in that state of mind in between high School influence and the ropes of their friends tied to the grades before them…middleschoolers. Whatta’ ya’ gonna’ do? We held a small group meeting last night at a local pizza joint with some kids who were funny just to hear them attempt to communicate with one another. I am unsure if they understand precisely what it takes to fill an enitre sentance becuase they typically converse in small fragmants of thought and unless you are tuned into their channel you become more lost than a...

I overheard my two youngest sons wrestling and play fighting in the backrgound as I brewed my next cup of espresso from HemisphereCoffeeroasters.com. They would lightly smash eachother in the arm, face, leg, whatever body part that would not cause permanant damage to the opponent. It reminded me of my younger years when I would wrestle with my younger brother, and then we would both tackle our little sister, pin her to the ground, and threaten to allow drool and spit to fall on her face as we asked who was her favorite brother…for some reason I could never stop or pull the spot back...

One of the best side marketing schemes of the candy industry is the Cadbury Creme Egg. Although, now that I think about it, and perhaps you would agree with me, I believe that the creme egg was inspired by a higher power, however I have severe difficulty deciphering which power that would actually be…from above or down below? The creamy goodness surounded by a thin Milk chocolate shell just itching to be slowly devoured with a glass of ice cold milk standing by just in case you need a smooth chaser…it’s just what the doctor ordered, but I don’t think that he could even...

We have a dog that needs diapers! Is that not the strangest thing that you have ever heard. Talk about the effects of getting older. What in the world is happening? You wear diapers when you are young, you grow into big boy underoos, then underwear, and when you become to cool for that word, its…draws, then you get older, hair falls out and your wearing diapers again??? We haven’t had the best of luck with dogs. You see, when we first moved into our new house I thought that we just had to have a dog. I mean, that’s just how it is. The man gets his castle, and must have his...
Read MoreClutter
I remember time and again as a little guy walking into my Dad’s office and seeing a mound of paperwork covering what at one time had resembled a desk of some type upon which one would conduct work, but you really couldn’t tell it was a desk. It reminded me of our excercise equipment that has now turned into furniture…you know what I’m talkin’ about! You buy it in January with every intention on using it at least three to four times a week and by February it now holds three pairs of pants, a couple shirts, and your favorite hoodie. I absolutely hate clutter. Let...

The Komets were playing at the Coliseum this past weekend, and I thought to myself…”Self, did you not have a great time when you went to see a hockey game as a kid?” Absolutely! I asked my two oldest boys, ages 11, and 6, if they wanted to go see a hockey game, somethin different than renting a movie or playing a vid game…”Sure,” they said with a spark in their voice. I thought, sweet! Some Father/son time…just them and I…a night with some greasy – not good for you, full of fat and carbs and sugar-type food with some sugary soda to chase...
