I’m an Old Fart

Hi, guys.  I’m sorry it’s been a lifetime since I’ve posted.  It’s been a busy week.  Excuses, excuses. Seriously, though.  For the last four days, I have lived my life like a person who never had a blog, had never heard of blogs.  I hate to admit it, but this little website hasn’t even crossed [...]

Mean Moms and Santa Do Not A Good Team Make

I put up my Christmas decorations today, and it reminded me that I don’t really like Christmas all that much in the first place. I think I was poisoned by volunteering as Santa’s Little Helper for so many years in a row. I have decided that I will tell our kids right from the beginning [...]

How to succeed at YouTube™ without really trying.

I struggle with overwhelming guilt when I go for more than one day without posting.  I feel extremely neglectful of you people.  I don’t have any good reason for staying away so long; I was mostly just lounging around all weekend.  Not cleaning, not studying, not working, just lounging.  It was nice, and most likely [...]
