Being in Redbook–Salma Got a Pic, But My Font Was Bigger
I really enjoy Salma Hayek. Friendly, outgoing, and very easy on the eyes. Now I can only hope she’s as good a sport as she is an actress. In Exhibit A, to the left (the November 2011 issue of Redbook Magazine), in the upper right you will see in a subtle yet not insignificant font […]
Getting Healthy With Amway Nutrilite Nutritional Supplements (Giveaway)
When I got back from Denver the other day I was feeling pretty good. Spending time with Olympic-caliber athletes, being at a marathon, and learning about nutritional supplements will do that. I was there courtesy of Amway Nutrilite–the global leader in sales of vitamins and supplements and a major sponsor of the Rock ‘n’ Roll […]
Top 10 Things Never to Say to a Man You Love
***I’ve re-posted this article to celebrate my latest contribution to Redbook Magazine, scheduled to hit newsstands this week.*** So the strangest thing happened the other day.

Helping a Friend May Not Convenient, But It’s What Friends Do
Today was as packed as any other day. Get the kids dressed, fed, and take them to school. Come home and jump on a conference call. Work on the computer for three hours. Throw in a load of laundry. Go to a meeting. Return home and prepare for the busy part of the day–when the […]
OxiClean Product Review–Should a Man Really Be Doing Laundry?
Formerly solid-white karate pants I’m writing this in lower case because I don’t want my wife to hear. This post is about laundry, and the last thing I want her to learn is that I not only washed some clothes, but even tried an advanced stain removal technique. That’s a slippery slope, my friend. And […]
Have You Ever Been Bullied?
When I was a kid, bullying was frowned upon but that’s about it. If something happened at school a common response would be for the teacher to simply say, “Well, he’s a bully.” Apparently, a child couldn’t help if he was a bully any more than he could help being left-handed. I may not have liked […]
The Best Motel We’ve Ever Stayed At
There’s this thing about me and my wife that some people might find surprising. First, we like to go on road trips. Especially spontaneous ones. The part that might surprise you is that we love to stay in cheap motels. REALLY cheap motels. Today we found ourselves spontaneously driving through the the Nevada desert. It’s […]
Last Minute Packing–A Brief Post
I had an awesome day today as the boys and I traveled to Colorado to their two-week summer camp. Over the years my wife and I have developed a routine for packing our luggage. Basically it involves cramming so much into our lives that we barely have time to sleep, let alone pack. So we […]
