I have two little rugs in my downstairs bathroom. Yesterday, I went to hang them up on the towel rack to dry, and wound up reading the tags attached to them. I took a picture of the tag, which I ripped off (didn’t say I wasn’t allowed to) so I could investigate this mysterious FF 2-70 [...]
I don’t do many product endorsements. I believe it’s best to keep them to a minimum, else risk diluting the message. Therefore, I save my endorsements for items or services that really spark my interest and give me reason to shout. I have two boys so neither of them is particularly interested in Dolls. [...]
Buying gifts for men is a walk in the park compared to trying to find the right present for a woman. With men all one needs to do is figure out what is in that tiny little head of theirs. It’s invariably something gadgety or adventurous. Women, on the other hand, are a mixed bunch. My [...]
Yesterday I wrote a list of 10 gifts for kids. Today it’s dad’s turn. Dads can be a frustrated lot; they don’t like to talk much and they feel ashamed sometimes for wanting things. The result of bad communication is that they rarely get what they really want. Every Christmas you’ll see dad in a [...]
Christmas is not my favorite holiday. A lot about the commercialism of Christmas rubs me the wrong way. However, I’m not one who can’t have a little fun with it either. I pride myself on picking out presents for people that, while they may not necessarily need, they absolutely think are cool and unique. I’ve [...]
I heard something this morning that has given me hope in the musical based video game model that has been so popular these past few years. Video games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band have been, for the last few years, fooling kids everywhere into thinking they are actually rock gods. The reality is [...]
How many times have you been with a group of people who begin talking about a subject that you just don’t know enough about to form an opinion on? It’s happened to me. I’m a smart guy, I double majored in History and Spanish in college and I’m reasonably informed on world events. Yet for [...]
A friend of mine called me a week ago and said, “ Hey, let’s go to Maggiano’s”. I said “Well, it’s just me and the boys. Can they come too?” Two things people generally know about me is that I don’t eat at certain restaurants (who’s names shall not be mentioned but one of [...]
The Nintendo Wii is a great family console. From Wii Resort to De Blob to Lego Star Wars, the Wii seems to be packed with entertaining and wholesome games. There are a few titles that are adult themed like Madworld for instance but, for the most part, it’s all kids games, and it’s very [...]
I have two boys, and they have no interest in dolls. I’ve been completely tuned out to girl targeted toy commercials so I’ve missed this next little cultural nugget. It involves the band Aqua and Mattel Toys in a strange twist since their infamous lawsuit years ago. It appears that Mattel has grown a sense [...]
I wrote an article several months ago where I talked extensively about the health benefits of milk. I researched various brands and explored the merits of organic vs. conventional milks. When I was a kid our family got milk from a dairy farm close to home. I remember going to the farm every week [...]
