He Said: Is She Using Her Pregnancy to Get Out of Dirty Chores?

(note:  this whole blog is tongue-in-cheek and not meant to be taken seriously) Everyone knows I am giddy with happiness.  My wife is pregnant and we’re going to have a baby.  I am ready and willing to help and assist in any way I can.  I have been waiting on my lovely wife hand and […]

We’re Having a Baby!

I am so overwhelmed with emotion that I don’t know where to begin. Excitement, nervousness, fear, giddiness, love, and happiness. Let me start from the beginning. I am so happy I can’t contain myself. After my cancer treatments, I was told that the drug that was used on me in chemotherapy almost certainly negatively impacted […]

My result? NORMAL […]

USAir Fail

I had a hell of a time getting home this weekend.  I flew up to Washington, DC on Monday of last week and was scheduled to come home on Friday.  You’d think that was a simple task.  You buy a ticket, you check in, you endure a bunch of worthless security measures, you board your […]

Blind Patriotism Is Rampant

Patriotism is defined, by dictionary.com, as  “devoted love, support, and defense of one’s country; national loyalty.” That’s it; that’s all there is to the definition of patriotism.  There is no sub-clause in that definition stating that a patriot must support the troops in the exact same fashion as the vocal majority or minority.  There is […]
