After 10 years of marriage, we are finally seeing eye to eye on movie selections. The other night we discussed our Netflix queue. Specifically, we talked about some recent Best Picture nominees, and then my wife shocked me (in a good way) with what she wants to gain from watching a movie. She wants to [...]

Making Progress…
Well, I finally made some progress on my first 2010 Resolution. I had a business trip to Orlando a month ago, so I broke out my copy of Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol. I’ve read all of Dan Brown’s book up to this one. Some have been great (Angels & Demons), some have been good [...]
Top 10: My iTunes Play Count
My friend and I have had some cool discussions over the last few days about our iTunes libraries. Both of us have have been collecting CDs since our high school days in the mid 90′s. As a result, our iTunes libraries are 5,000+ songs. Today my friend asked about my top 10 played songs on [...]
Manly Vegas Entertainment: Phantom
Like I mentioned in my previous post, the wife and I enjoyed a few days alone in Vegas. We did the fancy dinner and stayed at a fancy hotel. The last piece of the puzzle: a Vegas show with the wife. Before I booked tickets, we got advice from our friends and family about what [...]
Quality Time With the Wife
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 [...]

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 [...]
2010 Resolution #1
It is manly to read books. It is even manlier to read a wide range of books. In the not too distant past, I loved reading books. I read the Harry Potter books, Tom Clancy books, political books, self-help books, personal finance books, religious books, and the latest best seller novels. My wife and I [...]
