The birth of Man Town
Posted on September 6, 2007 - Filed Under Ranting | Leave a Comment
It has been long understood between my wife and I that when we have the money to do so, the basement (at least a portion of it) will be transformed into Man Town. Defined by a pub-like atmosphere and decor, Man Town will have the requisite lounge area with a huge, wall-mounted DLP TV […]
I will retire by the time I am 30

I have about a year and a half left and no clear idea of how I am going to make it happen yet, however, I know the opportunity will present itself (I am always looking). This dream of mine has been a part of me for as long as I can remember - perhaps […]
On second thought

A few days ago I had mentioned that we still have up our Christmas lights. At the time I was thinking that we may as well just leave them up - after all it is only about 110 days till Christmas anyways. Besides, why would I want to put my life at risk […]

Posted on September 5, 2007 - Filed Under Ranting, Recipe | Leave a Comment
So it has been a bit of an obsession of mine for several years now - trying to make the ultimate chocolate chip cookie. Obviously the cookie has to taste good, but my most important criteria for a successful batch is two-fold:

Never underestimate the benefits of personal hygiene

It happens to most stay at home moms and dads I am sure. As you go through your routine with the kids, a good deal of the day is spent cleaning (or re-cleaning). From baby butts to hands and faces, counter tops, floors, and dishes, so many things need to be cleaned. […]
If I were a rich man

I think it would be mandatory to have steak at least once per month in my house.
Tonight I was supposed to roast a chicken for dinner - I had taken it out of the freezer last night but apparently it didn’t have time to thaw for tonight. A bit bummed because I […]
How ridiculous

I think it has been several years since the last time my wife and I were apart for more than a couple hours. Tonight my friend Dave and his brother came up from Connecticut for the weekend. We are going hiking tomorrow up Tecumseh so it should be a good time. So […]
Apology to Sox Fans
Posted on August 30, 2007 - Filed Under Ranting | Leave a Comment
I should have know better. Because I was not fully aware of my ability to curse the team, I posted just the other day about the Sox gaining ground against the 2nd place Yankees.
Now after having been swept in 3 games, the lead that I so proudly proclaimed has been cut by nearly 40%, […]
I must be crazy

A good friend of mine, Dave, is coming up for the weekend. He has been trying to visit for a couple of months now but things have been hectic for him as his wife just gave birth to their first child, Christopher, just a few weeks ago.
I am excited that he is […]
Thats what happens when you have kids
Posted on August 29, 2007 - Filed Under Parenting, Ranting, Stay At Home Dad | Leave a Comment
It was rather offensive . . . I can’t believe my wife actually put up with it and I certainly would not have gone out in public this way.
I badly needed a shower.
Thats what happens when you have kids. There are so many things that have to be done for them on […]
