BRB, moving to Norway.
This is a public plea to @melanieross to let me buy this place in Bjarkøy, Norway. I bet the weather is terrible. And the sun shines for like 3 hours per day. And the food would cause my stomach to do...

View ArticleYou’re trying really hard to lose my vote.
Yeah, yeah, I know there’s a Presidential election going on but this post isn’t about that race. Frankly, that race is a dumpster fire and I’d rather not spend any more time than I have to thinking...

View ArticleGood move, Target
Posting here for posterity; reminders for us all that there are good things in this world to celebrate. Target (and their Cat & Jack brand) did a bang-up job on this ad campaign. The picture tells...
View ArticlePlayroom Time-Lapse
This past Saturday, the boys and I did a little re-arranging of their playroom. Adding a second bookshelf and a larger TV. While it took a little longer than if I had tackled on my own, I encouraged...

Hey Internet, let’s play a game. No, not toilet golf, that would be ridiculous. I received this gag as a gift for Christmas. I tried to give it to my avid-golfing-business-partner but he wants nothing...
View ArticleAn Open Letter to a Closed (minded) Church
This is an open letter — a response in one of the few ways I know how. It’s mostly just going to be a stream of consciousness that could ultimately turn into a longer conversation. — — Dear 1950’s...

But it’s necessary. In my Monday morning ‘down a rabbit hole,’ I was looking into a local restaurant for dinner with some friends for this evening. I hit their menu to see if there’s anything that I’d...

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve dropped any Christmas music on you. Prior to Rdio (RIP) and other music services, it was a little more of a chore to source and share decent tunes. It takes work...
