My family attended my work's summer picnic on Saturday. At one point, I saw our camera sitting on a picnic table with my wife no where to be found. I picked it up and put it in my pocket.
When my kids were participating in musical chairs, my wife asked me ...

My kids, usually led by my daughter, like to put on elaborate shows for my wife and me. Typically, it's some kind of skit with song and dance mixed in. I'm going to sound like an awful parent, but I have to admit they are painful to sit through. They ...

I watched the Sandra Bullock movie, Premonition, on cable last night. I was intrigued because it involves a woman who seems to be living a week out of order. I'm generally interested in any kind of story that involves the hint of time travel (although I'll probably not watch the ...

I saw this article on TV Squad today about nicknames for the remote control. In my house, we either call it "the remote" or "the remote control". I guess we aren't very imaginative.
My 4-year old son either can't hear the words "remote control" or just isn't able to pronounce it ...

I thought that was a funny question and that he just got his words mixed up. So, I said, "I don't know. What do you want to ...

As a long-suffering Van Halen fan, I've often expressed that I'd rather hear new music than see them in concert playing the same ol', same ol'. When they reunited with David Lee Roth, they basically said that they are not just getting together for the tour and they expect to ...

I went to McDonald's today to try their new Southern Chicken Sandwich, which was being given away for free with the purchase of a drink. This is supposed to be equivalent to Chik-fil-a's signature Chik-fil-a Sandwich. McD's Southern Chicken Sandwich is a decent imitation of the Chik-fil-a Sandwich, but there's ...

My daughter always gets upset when I make lamb chops or when I joke about getting duck at a Chinese restaurant. However, she doesn't seem to have much problem eating meat.
At dinner last night while we were eating fish for dinner, my daughter mentioned a friend of hers at school ...

Here's a summary of my awesome weekend:
I worked outside planting shrubs on Saturday morning. The heat and humidity was stifling. My shirt was soaked through with sweat and I actually thought I was going to pass out at one point because the air quality was so bad. I actually felt ...

There's a guy I play poker with who likes to point out people's physical tells. But, he doesn't do it at the table. At the table, he'll tell you that later, in private, he'll tell you, so he doesn't give away your "secret" to anyone.
