The Degenerate Jumbo Asado

The last inch of the plumbing snake was shoved down the drainpipe. It is already 8:30 at night and a guy in his late 40’s was busy working to get our backing up toilet to normalcy. He came earlier, about 6:30 in the afternoon on an Ohio State Saturday night game to answer our emergency [...]

Shoe Boxes

In a house full of toys, it is easy to forget that some kids rarely get toys. An extra space in our home is fast becoming a highly prized real estate because toys have overtaken every nook and cranny. This year, I have resolved to declutter and live a simple, no fuss, no mess philosophy. [...]

David Peralty addressed Wordpress Toronto and he made a note that your site is probably not getting the comments like you would want it to because people are generally lazy. I think he’s right. What is laziness? This question begged to be answered after listening to David talk for a few minutes.

When we are offered [...]

How to Drive Dad Bonkers

Somewhere between a nice Saturday dinner and the pre-game commentary of Ohio State College football team, a peculiar disturbance occurred.
