Weekend Wrap Up

What a crazy weekend! As much as I hate not getting a lot of sleep, I have to admit that some of the funniest stories I write about are due to lack of sleep. Take Saturday for example: We needed groceries and a few things, so Sam went to the store. On her way home, … Continue reading Weekend Wrap Up →

Funny Photo Memory

Due to my lack of creativity this week, I have turned to a daily writing prompt to spark a blog idea. The prompt that struck me was this: Find a picture that brings back a funny memory just by looking at it. Tell us about it. I have no shortage of pictures I can chose … Continue reading Funny Photo Memory →

They Call Me “Dad”

At some point, when I get an extra few bucks, I wanna order this shirt. I am kind of over everything right now. Perhaps it is a lack of sleep, the need for a break/vacation, dealing with stupidity in many facets of life, an overwhelming amount of stress or a combination of all of these … Continue reading They Call Me “Dad” →

Wednesday Wisdom

I have about 6 things I WANT to write about, a few things I NEED to write about, but today I'm tired. So I figured I would just post a wonderful quote from the amazing Ella Fitzgerald.

Celebrating 4 Years

It is now officially our 4th wedding anniversary. Over the past few days, the various photo memories from 4 years ago have popped up in the Facebook Memories feed and they have made me smile.

The Shenanigans Are Over

For the first time in 2 years, the Chicago River was dyed green yesterday. The St. Patrick's Day tradition had been put on hiatus because of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The dye will stay in the water for about 48 hours and then it will change back to normal. I posted my usual stupid St. Patrick's … Continue reading The Shenanigans Are Over →

It’s Just Around The Corner

Spring! I enjoy stupid puns. Every time someone says that spring is just around the corner, I think of the above picture! Despite having a big snow a few days ago, the temperatures are rising and the snow has pretty much melted away. We actually got over 60 degrees today! When I left to go … Continue reading It’s Just Around The Corner →

Rules For Sons

Someone posted this on Facebook today and I thought it was worthy of a blog post. As a father, I hope to have instilled some (or all) of these things in my kids. I'm not sure I have ever seen this particular list, but I have seen similar ones. Maybe it is that I'm older … Continue reading Rules For Sons →
