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 [...]
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 [...]
How Men Say Happy Birthday
Men and women say “happy birthday” differently. I know. It was my birthday recently. Here’s a rundown of how people wished me a happy birthday and how I rate their salutation: The Wife. I got a nice hug and kiss this morning on my way out the door to work. She’s my wife, so she [...]
Redeeming Myself
So my last post was about a less-than-manly moment: seeing the New Moon movie. My week-long vacation is over and now it’s time to get back into the blogging groove… Even though I suffered through several unmanly things during my week off (the movie, clothes shopping, etc.), I did manage to fit in my annual [...]
My Thoughts on New Moon

My Wife Misses Baseball Season
My wife confessed to me last night that she misses baseball season. What does she miss? First, let me tell you what she doesn’t miss. She doesn’t miss my hours of pouring over my fantasy team(s) rosters and waiver wires. She doesn’t miss watching the postseason. She doesn’t miss Peter Gammons, Jayson Stark, or Buster [...]
Christmas Gift for the Boy (but really for me)
I went Christmas shopping with the wife last night. We had a great time, even though we were hurried because the babysitter showed up late. We made the obligatory stop at Target and got a few stocking stuffers. Then we headed to Costco. I love Costco. It was clearly designed by a man: TVs, cameras, [...]
COD Night: Earning a Man Card
Tonight was the release of the most anticipated game of the year: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. I stopped by Gamestop on my way home from work to pick up my reserved copy. Did I immediately open and play the game when I got home? No. Instead I earned a “man card.” Tonight I [...]
