Reality Check! (or Parents Are Insane)
It just became infinitely clear what I've gotten myself into. Our nightly bedtime routine has evolved over the course of our four years of parenting. It now contains more steps than the passage of complex bills by Congress. Let's pretend this free, grainy depiction of...

A blog post devoted to yours truly. On ANOTHER blog, I mean.
Wanna know something awesome that happened yesterday? All right, so there are these blogging sisters whose blogs I stumbled upon recently. Both of their blogs are heavily art-based, which is something I admire, as I'm the guy whose stars look like retarded*...
read moreBody Deformities: Part IV–Random Observations, and LAWSUIT CITY
A couple of things: 1. I just got a visitor who had done a search for "weird body deformities." This made me laugh pretty hard. Then I searched "body deformities" and I was the fourth hit on the list! (I have no idea if that link will actually work.) What...

Something awesome happened last week.
My third daughter was born. Her name is Tessa The labor was very painful (the epidural didn't take, and the nurse was the opposite of competent and empathetic), but it was successful. In the hospital, Wife and I decided to take pictures of each other holding the baby....

Goal: finish this post in 20 minutes. Go! (Update: I failed.) In my last post, AJ asked a very interesting question. It was this: You've probably thought of this, but do you think your directional ineptitude might be related to your ADHD? Have you noticed...

How to create the worst training in history
Have you ever been to a training that made you want to slam a pencil up through your eye-socket to your brain-matter in a desperate suicide? I have. It was last week. I was praying every single day that Wife would go into labor early so I could...

You'll notice in the tagline of this blog that this, contrary to all evidence indicating otherwise, is a blog about writing. I just haven't mustered up the guts to talk about that part of my life. I have a tortured relationship with writing. What I...

Body Deformities: Part II–The creepiest face you might ever see
I'm writing a series on body deformities. You can read the first installment here. This post is a continuation of that post. As I was saying yesterday, my left eye is legally blind. If you've met me, you already knew this, though. Either that...

Body deformities: Part I
Are you deformed? I am! Both inside and out. Now I'm going to tell you about it. *warning* If you are the type of person who gets all squeamish when a blogger talks about things like "cysts" and "polyps" and "cataracts" and "feces-ridden bed sores" now would be a good...

Okay, I'm not really known for my accuracy. Nor my precision. I can only barely distinguish between those two words, in fact. I tend to be a "big picture thinker" which is a really nice way of saying that I don't pay enough attention to minute...
read moreA non-humorous post about humor
I wrote a post yesterday that I found to be very amusing. (Those of you who use feeds can probably see it.)And then I felt sick. I had trouble figuring out why. As I thought about it throughout the day, I realized it was because of a joke I...
