Birthday Spankings?

Jadon is turning 4 years old today. Seriously. 4. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 4 years since he made the escape. He doesn’t seem a day older than 3 years and 364 days. It’s an exciting day with all kind of fun and traditions, but one tradition I’ve never understood is that ofContinue reading “Birthday Spankings?”

What Do YOU Do?

I’ve been curious about this for a while now and could use your help to find some answers. Feel free to tell your friends, family, dogs, fish, and koalas to vote too. The more people that vote, the less the results will be distorted by a small sample size. And of course, accurate results areContinue reading “What Do YOU Do?”

Party’s Over

Is it just me or does it seem a bit anticlimactic to clean up party decorations while the person being celebrated is still there? I realize that things have to be cleaned up at some point, but can’t it at least wait until the person whose party it is has left the building…or at leastContinue reading “Party’s Over”

How To Open (Or Not Open) A Door

I think sometimes I think too much. Or maybe I just over-analyze stuff. I think the best example of this is when I am walking toward a door that I am going to have to open. Most of the time it goes fairly smoothly, but I sometimes get the feeling that I’ve started reaching forContinue reading “How To Open (Or Not Open) A Door”

Sledding: A Year Round Activity

As I was driving down the road the other day I say a big hill and thought “Man, that sure would make a good sledding hill. Too bad it’s 70 something degrees and not a flake of snow in sight. I bet it would be a ton of fun once we get a good snow.” Continue reading “Sledding: A Year Round Activity”

18 Things I Would Like To Try

1. Drive A Vehicle Through A Closed Gate Could be either a chain link fence or one of those mechanical arms that goes up and down 2. Ramp A Golf Cart Off A Big Tee Box The landing may be a little rough, and the cart probably wouldn’t fly that far, but still something I’veContinue reading “18 Things I Would Like To Try”

Grass, Fingernails, and Perpetually Growing Things

Well, it’s that time of the year again. Every year I hope it will be different. I put it off as long as I can, but eventually it has to be done. Eventually I have to mow the yard. I realize that it has to be done and once it’s done it looks and feelsContinue reading “Grass, Fingernails, and Perpetually Growing Things”

Pokey Little Pokers

I have a confession to make. It involves something that I have been doing for years. In fact, I have been doing it almost every single day for the last several years. Most days I do it multiple times and there have even been days where I do it 20 times or more. I’m talkingContinue reading “Pokey Little Pokers”

Well This Is Awkward…

What do you do when you are in a new place and need to use the restroom, but when you get to the door you can’t figure out if it’s a multiple or single person facility? Knocking is a good option if it turns out to be a single, but if it’s a multiple personContinue reading “Well This Is Awkward…”

3…2…1…0

Sometimes while I am driving I will start counting down from 3 and when I get to 0 I either point, snap, or finger shoot at the clock and hope I timed it just right so the minute changes at that very moment. I also do this with wall clocks, traffic lights, long stretches ofContinue reading “3…2…1…0”
