3 Estrogen - 1 Testosterone = Insanity
I am married with 2 teenage daughters. We have 2 female dogs and 2 female cats.
Is it any wonder I am a geek?
Oh yeah, there is one male Gerbil left, although we have not spent much time together.
Things that I can’t grasp.
Didn’t we just buy a 24 roll pack of toilet paper.
Why do they have to straighten their hair?
How much does makeup cost?
That bug is smaller than your fingernail, step on it!
How many pair of shoes is in that closet?
Start getting ready for a 7pm movie at 2pm.
Things that help me survive.
Headphones
Nascar
Guitar
Ukulele
Internet
Soduko
Poker
So, it is a fact, 3 Estrogen - 1 [...]
Brad Pitt opens up about kids but not tattoos on Oprah
Brad Pitt was on Oprah yesterday to promote his new movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button when he shared what fatherhood has been like with six kids. He said, “[I’m] tough as nails. I’m impervious to poo, snot, urine, vomit. You can’t get me. You cannot break me down.” As for taking the kids out of the house, he says Angelina is more militant about making sure everyone is prepared since he’s forgetful. “We don’t go to the mall. It’s like a half-an-hour just to get everyone buckled in an
Blue White Roundtable: I will not mock the Land Grant Trophy this year
Zombie Nation provided this week's questions. 1. So, are you freaking out this week? Did you honestly think Penn State would be in this position, going into the last week of the season? How about Michigan State? No, I'm not freaking out, though I could be. Oh, you meant about the Penn State game, no I am not freaking out about that either. I did not foresee Penn State in this position after Sean Lee went down, but that is okay, I'll take it. I never saw Michigan State in position to win the Bi

Some good stuff around the interwebs lately… Nilsa at SoMi began a movement, of sorts, which she called “BlogSecret” — “you write a secret and have it posted anonymously on someone else’s blog.” Nilsa notes, ”It is said (through the results of lots of research) that the simple act of writing about a secret is highly cathartic and has been found to have genuine health impacts up to several months later. But, what the research doesn’t say is it takes courage, lots and lots of courage to reveal s
Honoring public service and PSAs
Wednesday night, I attended the Advertising Council’s Public Service Award Dinner, where the organization honored GE chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt for his commitment to public service. The awards ceremony, which was held at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, kicked off with former American Idol Fantasia performing with the Brooklyn Youth Choir. The master of ceremonies for the evening, NBC Nightly News‘ Brian Williams, was both entertaining and serious, as he touched on the current economic sit
Link hors d’oeuvres.
There’s so much going on hereabouts, and so many good things I want to direct your attention to, that today will be an all-bloggage entry. Maybe we should make Thursdays the ADHD edition on a semi-permanent basis, eh? On with it, then: One of the best meals of my life was in a long-dead restaurant in Columbus called L’Armagnac. It was in a converted house somewhere in a gentrifying neighborhood, and some weeks later I had occasion to see the kitchen on a reporting assignment. It was very easy
Be Active, Be Fit, Be A Leader
Today there is more pressure than ever on men to perform in hostile environments. Couple that with the absolutely wonderful blessing of fatherhood, and stress levels can reach almost unbearable levels. We must balance being top performers in our chosen professions while at the same time giving our families the attention they want and [...]
The American Journey of Barack Obama
by The Editors of LIFE Magazine The early parts of American Journey provide a sweeping and at times overly dramatic biography of Barack Obama that begins with his roots and ends with his victory at the Democratic National Convention. Yet the most interesting part of the book is the penultimate section, Aspects of Obama. In this section, twelve writers offer their comments about Obama from a range of perspectives, from Regina Barreca’s “A Clintonista Comes Over”, to Andrei Codrescu’s “Immigra
Confirmed.

Dad Takes Dramatic Action to Protect Crippled 5-Year-Old Daughter (Video)
From Family keeps power, disabled daughter alive (News-Herald, 11/14/08): HILAND PARK — A family on the brink of losing their electricity, vital to the survival of their 5-year-old daughter, received enough donations by Friday morning to pay their overdue Gulf Power bill and keep the power on. The Duncans owed about $2,000 to Gulf Power, and with no payment recorded since July, the company scheduled disconnection for 11 a.m. Friday unless the family paid up. Tony Duncan chained himself to t
Interpretive art
When it comes to decorating, Mark and I sometimes see eye to eye, and sometimes we, and by we, I mean me, just go ahead and buy stuff and then discreetly place said “stuff” somewhere in the house and wait for Mark to notice. Which may or may not ever happen. This tactic usually works well, except for the time that I brought home 17 new picture frames that required a laser level, another level, a Continue reading...

Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty Gives Thumbs Up for Tim Walberg
Excellent article on Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty blog. The most devastating loss in Michigan in November was Tim Walberg's loss to Liberal Mark Schauer. Tim Walberg is a true patriot of liberty, as pointed out in Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty blog, he voted twice against the bailout. The bailout will only mean that taxpayers and their children will become financial slaves to the tax burden created by this bailout. "Michigan's Tim Walberg lost his seat, too, though. Walberg voted agai
Consequences Of "The System" - Family Court
Many people have a system for something-they can have one at work, or at home. It likely helps them accomplish some sort of task. However, bureaucracy also has its systems. Government bureaucracy, and even other bureaucratic types have their systems. Some are merely annoying. Some can be debilitating, some can be dangerous, while others can be devastating. Allow me to offer a comparison of how two "systems" can cause harm. I am a University of Michigan Wolverine football fan. This year, th
Obama Fund Fatherhood Now
Now that the Democrats are running DC and most of Lansing we need to begin to communicate the need for DHS/CAPTA/VAWA/Title IV legislative change. Looking at what has been proposed during the election we must strike quickly to get our reform message in their ears. Obama's message of the need for fathers and families needs to be directed towards legislative changes that actually encourage the states to keep families intact and both parents significantly involved with their children. Here is Oba
Libertines In Space
I saw the trailer for the upcoming re-imagined Star Trek movie yesterday, and at first glance it seemed moderately interesting. Plenty of sweeping panoramas of high-tech futuristic places, action, drama, and some creative explosions: what else could one want in a schlocky science-fiction movie? But then I saw some other things about the film, especially the items about steamy encounters between Kirk and Uhura; clearly, like just about all Star Trek franchises, the story line is going to have i

A quick watercolor I did for a climbing friend at Ape. I haven’t gone climbing in almost eight months, but used to be really into it for a few years. Ahh … fatherhood … on an vaguely related note after almost one year of no surfing, I was finally able to get out at Pacifica this past weekend. Man it felt good to be in the waves out there.

ALIMI BALLARD TALKS ABOUT FATHERHOOD
Numb3rs star Alimi Ballard knows exactly how to balance family life with work. So how does the actor manage to juggle work with family life?: “With an amazing amount of time management. With work, two babies and keeping your relationship together, your schedule is packed from the moment you wake up till you get to bed. I wake up and work out at 5:00, the kids wake up at 6:00, then I go out and do my work. When I get home, sometimes they’re asleep. If they’re not, after they go to bed I final
