After watching District 9 and Mongol, I owed my wife a solid chick flick. I made sure the movie at the top of our queue was The Proposal. I like Sandra Bullock, so I was OK with watching the movie. Plus, I had my iPhone handy just in case the movie got boring. However, I [...]

Khan’s 1st Rule
This is part one (of four) in my attempt to explain why I think Genghis Khan’s four laws are manly and should be followed. These are lessons I want my sons to learn. Rule 1: Don’t kill women or children That’s a pretty simple law, and I’m sure Genghis meant that literally. His men were [...]
Manly Movie Night
I had some time to kill on Saturday night. My wife was scrapbooking, the kids were asleep, and we were all caught up on the DVR. So, I decided to watch a manly movie. I found Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan on Netflix (watch instantly). When I think of Genghis Khan, one of thee [...]

Christmas Gift Finalized
Well, I finally finished the Christmas project I started for my-mother in-law a few months ago. You might recall that my mother-in-law’s gift to her sister (my wife’s aunt) was a nice family portrait. Of course, I was volunteered to be the photographer because my price was right (free). My wife’s aunt finally chose the [...]
Looking for that TV Theme Song?
On Monday I was spent some quality time with my boy. Like I mentioned yesterday, he loves Spider-Man. So he asked me to find the theme song from Spectacular Spider-Man. A few Google searches later and Voilà! Found it on TelevisionTunes.com. I spent a good 30 minutes on that site playing TV theme songs from my childhood: [...]
Spider-Man Bedtime Stories
I usually tell my 4 year old a bedtime story every night. It’s part of the nightly routine. Honestly, sometimes I half-ass it with a short story (yeah, I feel a little guilty about that). However, last night I turned in a solid performance. Lately, my son has been into Spider-Man and Super Hero [...]
Two Powerful Words
Dear boys, Few phrases will earn you more respect than these two simple words: I’m sorry. Those two words will take you far in business, in love, and in life. Today, I saw one of the heroes from my youth finally learn that lesson. He said he was sorry and I forgave him, just like I forgave [...]
The Lunch Salad
Today is Day 1 for working on my #3 2010 resolution. Here’s what I packed for lunch: Salad (it was part of one of those bagged mixed greens salads) Baby carrots That’s it. Doesn’t sound like much to me. I “manned it up” by adding a little turkey, some cherry tomatoes, and (probably too much) shredded cheese [...]
2010 Resolution #3
I’m fat, and it’s all my fault. In high school I was athletic and skinny. In fact, I was too skinny. I wanted to gain weight back then. I didn’t matter what I ate, I wouldn’t gain weight. I finally got up to my perfect weight when I was 21. But then it went downhill….big time. [...]
