Common Condition Causes Girls to Faint While Doing Their Hair
Oh, great. Yet another thing for me to worry about. As reported in the local paper this morning a condition called Hair-grooming Syncope is sweeping the nation. I’m not joking. Imagine this scenario: As the radiation-filled sun rays filter through my window I awaken to the blinding light. I’m sleep deprived as usual, probably due […]
Traveling in an Orange-colored Pickup Truck–Life Before the DVD Player
Sometimes I think it was easier back when my parents took the family on vacation. We had an orange pickup truck with a camper shell on the back–not a camper, mind you, just one of those shells that covers the bed of the truck. My parents would throw a couple of foam pads in the […]
EVERY DAY IS MY UTAH SKI VACATION
I‘m not going to lie to you, I really like snow. Not in a “Hey look, it’s snowing!” type of way, but more of a “snow flows through my veins” kind of thing. Some may say that I’m addicted to snow, but I’m not. I can stop anytime–but why would I? I’ll take as much […]

Rodeo Queens Forced to Ride Stick Ponies Due To Horse Herpes Outbreak
Sometimes a headline is all you need. I don’t mean to make light of the situation, but this is one of those stories that just can’t be true, right? Wrong. Please note that I am NOT making fun of the little girls; they were just doing what the officials told them to do. But don’t […]
IT’S TIME TO SKI!
I was reminiscing with friends recently about the way things were when we were young as compared to what our own kids experience today. Rotary phones, typewriters, and riding in the back of pickup trucks are all things of the past. Sadly, today’s kids will never know the joys of when disco was new, mullets […]
MOVEMBER–CHANGING THE FACE OF MEN’S HEALTH
Few things in life are as motivating to a man as the opportunity to grow facial hair. Movember provides just such an opportunity. As a rule, I am typically anti-mustache–and I’m not the only one. A recent survey of my children; my next-door-neighbor, Doug; and Shannon from my local 7-Eleven confirms that four out of five […]
DO THEY GIVE PURPLE HEARTS ON BLACK FRIDAY?
I thought she was shopping, but out of the blue my wife burst into the room. She caught me red handed watching NASCAR on my black and white TV in the garage–I was supposed to be raking leaves. But Dale Jr. had just been given the green light and I would not be so easily […]

DADVENTUROUS IN REDBOOK…WHAT I REALLY SAID
Okay, it’s been a pretty heady week here in the ‘ol man cave. My piece in Redbook Magazine seems to have been well received, plus I got an awesome shout-out from Babble.com (which is always nice). The best thing about writing for Redbook is that you have an editor to review your work and make suggestions; […]
