Calling all Dad (daddy) Bloggers out there… »

When I first started writing this blog a couple of years ago, Sarah from Sarah and the Goon Squad was the first to welcome me to the blogosphere. She was my first blog friend. She is also a mommy blogger. A popular mommy blogger as well. These mommy bloggers have a cool network of other [...]

Just wondering out loud… »

Maybe I’m just more liberal than I thought, but with all the terrible stuff that is going on in the world, does anyone really care that a certain fictional character is gay?  Why are so many people upset about this and not about the real things that actually might affect us? (editors note: there are [...]

3:30am is the new 6:30am »

I know, your jealous that you didn’t get the memo on this one. 3:30am is the new 6:30am. You may be asking; “What do you mean?” Well, since we have returned from our lovely family sojourn to Germany, the girls have not really returned to “normal” sleeping habits. At least normal as I hope it [...]

That is the number of spam comments that have been written to my blog entries. But thanks to the Akismet plugin, I caught it all so you don’t have to be subjected to it. Besides, most of the comments are for drugs we don’t need and the latest Britney Spears nude photos. You guys don’t [...]

Fighting the loss of innocence, also known as, trying to be a good parent. »

You may have heard about the Maine school providing birth control to middle school children? Whether you agree or disagree, I really don’t want to get into a debate here. This is not the right forum. Besides, I think Christine over at the Bean Blog has summed it better than I could in her post [...]

Observations about Germany Part III »

Germany is an interesting place if you are American. Historically and physically. I mean, the Allies bombed the shit out of the country in World War II and then there was the whole East Germany vs. West Germany until the late 80′s. Actually the wall started to come down on November 9th, 1989. Funny enough, [...]

Too many choices for Halloween »

I can’t decide. Should I go as the train wreck Britney Spears or the druggy Lindsey Lohan. Or maybe really shake it up and go as druggy train wreck Amy Winehouse. It’s just so tough to decide. What is a Dad to do? Oh and the Farty Pants Twins are going as Snow White and [...]

Observations about Germany Part II »

I was thinking the other day about my trip to Germany and how efficient the German transportation system is. Everywhere you want to go in Germany can be reached without a car. There are subways and trains and buses and taxis to every destination you can think of. And when you do want to drive, [...]

A little game of guess where and what. »

I figured we would start this post with a little game. Guess where this picture was taken and what it’s name is. Now be careful. If you are a frequent reader of my blog, then you should have a pretty good idea of where it is not and what is is not. This was an [...]

We are back! »

Boy do I have a lot to share with you guys. After a hellish plane ride home (23 hours from start to finish with layovers, transfers, rides from hotels etc.) we made it home alive. Um, KLM, I need to have a word with you about your menu selections for children. Really?, spicy black bean [...]
