  • Oscar Roundup

    Well, I assume you saw the Oscars Sunday night. I certainly did. I stayed up till midnight and somehow (I swear this is true, although I don’t know how) I threw my back out watching it. Now I know that seems impossible, but it’s true. I woke up the next morning with an aching back and vague...

  • Oscarama Drama

    So, as many of you are aware, the Oscars are coming up this Sunday. For those of you who were not aware, or who don’t like the Oscars, or who think I’m talking about a rock band made up of Oscar Hammerstein, Oscar Wilde, Oscar De La Renta and Oscar the Grouch (on drums), I would encourage...

  • Dancing Queen, Young and Sweet, Only Seven….

    We all have dreams for our children –talents that we hope they will develop, qualities that we believe will help them in life. For some parents, they might hope that their children gain the mental acuity to become doctors, or perhaps the athletic prowess to win a gold medal. I have many dreams...

  • Monday Morning Mini Music Break

    OK, I know it's not Monday (well depending on when you're reading this). But I sort of needed a music break Monday Morning, and besides, Thursday Afternoon Mini Music Break just sounds lame. Now, I don’t know how your week is going, but mine seems overly difficult. Partly this has to do...

  • If This is the ER, Where’s Dr. McDreamy?

    I finally became a real father this past weekend. Sure, there are lots of milestones that you pass through on your journey to complete parentdom. There are the sweet ones like the first time your child calls you “Da-Da” or the first time they kiss you on the cheek unsolicited. Then there...

  • Blind Sided

    Sarah and I finally got around to seeing “The Blind Side” a few weeks ago. You know, that movie with Sandra Bullock where she brings this poor black teenager to live in her home and he ends up becoming a professional athlete? Well, I had wanted to see it. It’s apparently the feel good...

  • Budget Schmudget

    There is a phrase floating around Washington nowadays that kind of bugs me. It’s not a new phrase, but it seems to be in the midst of a revival. It first popped up during the President’s State of the Union Address and since then I have heard it bandied about by Democrats and Republicans alike...

  • Protests and Anti-tests

    Oh boy folks. I have a doozy of a story for you this morning. It’s just wonderful. It will make you smile all day long. But to truly appreciate it, first I have to make you a little sad. You probably know who the Westboro Baptist Church is, even if you don’t know them by name. They are the...

  • Kayaks, Fox 5 News and Gay Marriage

    My brother is a bit of a wild man. He lives down in Asheville, NC and is one of those outdoorsy types who takes vacations to go rock climbing in Utah and likes to eat tofu that he has shot and killed himself. Anyway, every once in a while he’ll forward on some tale of a recent adventure of a raft...

  • To Do or Not to Do

    I’m a doer. That’s who I am. I get a little uncomfortable sitting around doing nothing, or worse, having nothing to do. Luckily, as the father of three, with a family of seven to feed and clean up after, I rarely am at a loss for activities. But beyond the obligations of life (dishes, laundry...

  • Doing Disney

    Our family escaped to Disney World this past weekend. Our school system has this wacky middle of January break. First, school gets out early every day for a week, and then they cancel school on the following Monday and Tuesday. They’re practically daring you to take a vacation. We had been talking...

  • If Ignorance is Bliss, Does that Mean Intellect is Misery?

    I recently came across an article that ranked every state based on happiness. I love that kind of thing. Partly I love it because ranking a location by happiness is about the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. For one thing, happiness is physically unmeasurable by any scientific gauge and secondly...

  • Thoughts on God, Haiti and Prayer

    When I was a child we lived in south Florida. At the time there was a crude joke making its way around the playground. It went something like this: “Hey, do you have HBO? Yeah? That’s gross! You have Haitian Body Odor!” Even at age 7 I knew that this was more than just a little wrong...

  • Melancholy Milestones

    Yesterday my wife sent me an email noting that it was our youngest son, Micah’s, two and a half year birthday. She also attached a photo of the time he fell asleep in his car seat while eating a chicken nugget. I sighed. I smiled. But I also cringed a bit. Birthdays are a joyous time – even...

  • They Said that I Should Go to Rehab… and I Met this Really Great Guy

    So, this morning I was perusing the digital news, as usual, and came across something delightful in its absurdity – an article titled “Amy Winehouse to Remarry Ex-Husband” http://wonderwall.msn.com/movies/winehouse-to-remarry-ex-husband-at-caribbean-hideaway-1532867.story?GT1=28135...
