There’s good advice and there’s bad advice. And then there’s advice that’s so weird and confusing, you don’t know which one it is.

Take a Stroll with Me (A Wedding Poem)

Posted by on April 4th, 2013, under NOTEBOOK

I know it’s not Shakespeare or Poe. Worse than that, I know it’s basically crappy High School poetry that should have stars and hearts penciled in around its margins, and I’ve resisted an itching temptation to edit it or improve it before sharing it, but I can’t. It’s my poetry, for my wife, and that [...]

My Wife Belongs in the Kitchen…

Posted by on March 13th, 2013, under NOTEBOOK

… telling me to do the dishes and housework. It is written that the Olympics actually began in an ancient Greek household. A man and wife had just birthed a young Greek named Nagmeon.

The Age Guessing Wheel of Misfortune

Posted by on December 17th, 2012, under NOTEBOOK

Generally speaking, women don’t tend to be hardcore fans of the word “old,” or even “older.” So, to play it safe, I’ll avoid using the words at all here. Also, my wife reads my posts and to be honest I hate being responsible for making her cry. I’m also pretty partial to my testicles remaining [...]

Her Lipstick

Posted by on August 9th, 2012, under NOTEBOOK

I found something. A few days ago I was rifling through some rarely-opened filing cabinets, looking for something; something boring enough that I forgot about it the second I opened up a folder that was bloated with odd, crinkled contents. Memories beamed out at me. Cards from my kids in brightly-colored construction paper, saved scribbles [...]
