I want my money back!
I demand a refund. I knew becoming a parent involved sacrifice and runny noses and lacrosse practice and xylophone recitals and all that.
But what I didn’t really count on losing out on were all the little things.
I rarely take vacations (I feel so guilty and I end up more stressed out […]

I meant to write this post last month, but… life got in the way.
So, one year ago (and a few weeks) our family made the move back to Ohio from Los Angeles. It’s been a whole year? Damn. Time truly does fly. At supersonic speeds these days.
Did we make the right decision? The verdict: we’re […]

Had fun this weekend. One of our friends gave her husband Cleveland Indians tickets for this birthday. We were invited along. So, we dropped the kids off at grandpa’s place - luckily enough, on the way up - and went to the game.

This was my first sporting event after moving back from L.A. And it […]

There’s an old saying - maybe it’s a song - that goes, “You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.”
I have a new saying, “If you really want to go home, you probably have no chance in hell…”
Everything started out really well. I dropped off my bitchin’ rental car and made it […]

I’m back in Ohio. It’s been a crazy week and, now, I feel like I need a vacation to recover.
Everything went according to plan - for most of the trip. I flew into L.A. on Thursday and rented a car. The girl at the rental car counter wanted to give me a Chevy Cobalt. I […]

So… my bags are packed (ha!) and I’m ready to fly to L.A. tomorrow morning at the ass-crack of dawn.
I’m in a mental limbo about my trip. This whole adventure has so many pros and cons for me that I’ve actually worked myself into a virtual anxiety attack…
And I hate being stressed at the holidays. […]

It was an early morning yesterday;
I was up before the dawn.
And I really have enjoyed my stay;
But I must be moving on.

Is this goodbye for L.A. Daddy? Not… really. Not like that. The daddy part still remains, for sure. It’s the L.A. thing some might have a contention with.
What the hell am I talking about?
Allow […]

So, I spent all day Saturday installing a new battery into my motorcycle. Doesn’t sound like an all-day job, but I had to remove the entire side panel to get to it. then I had to put it in and, finally, seal it all back up. It runs good as new now… no more pushing […]

You know how you can get a little bored with your exercise routine? How sometimes you need to do something new to keep your workout fresh?
In fact, I was heading home from work and knew I had to go to the gym. I really didn’t want to. I lacked the motivation. Well, some are born […]

I’m back at work on Monday as I’m making a slow recovery from the walking pneumonia. I am still pumping myself full of medication though. Which is nice. Makes the day go a little bit slower.
The problem with a lot of my drugs is they dull the senses. I was riding my motorcycle in to […]
