Five years ago today I started this little blog. A lot has happened to me over the years since and many lessons have been learned. I can honestly say that I am a different person in the sense that I have grown up quite a bit, but I am still me. I can be no [...]
For some reason Charlie Sheen thinks he is winning. It's one of his catch phrases after all. Sure he's rich and famous but he's also fired, and kind of a jerk. Sadly he's in denial about his seriously deep issues. In my book he's losing. He's losing big. He's a dad and he needs to [...]
It's hard for me to be anyone but me. People have told me to tone it done in certain social situations and while my head agrees and knows that there are norms that should be generally followed it's hard for me to do that. I feel this real compulsion to be me, and to be [...]
The world moves too fast for my liking sometimes. Not that I can't keep up, I can thank you very much, but more that I like having a second or two for analysis. At the office you have to be able to do both and in general I can do that too (though I prefer [...]
My wife and I are charitable people. We give our time and money to causes that matter to us. For the last few years we have been giving to food charities. We eat very well - it's a priority of ours. I have documented in the past how much we enjoy food and the recipes [...]
I remember when I was approximately Dev's age and computers were huge, often not in color and required floppy disks that were actually floppy.

I was reading an article in this month's Details - apparently just by reading?said mag?I am?metrosexual - about being thatguy. You know the guy that does things that are a little odd, or out of character, or in some cases that are stereotypical, or a caricature of a real guy. For example, the guy who [...]
Once I learned that the hottest film of the year is not about a guy, much like me, who irons his jeans and t-shirts before going to the corner store, I?figured it may be worth a look, eventually.?I never think about going to a summer-ish blockbuster until a few weeks after it's released because I [...]
I know that envy is one of the seven deadly sins and not particularly attractive, nevertheless I have more than a passing acquaintance with the emotion. I have come to accept this flaw in my distinctively and tremendously flawed personality. A plus for me is that I am young enough to grow and learn from [...]
Have you ever danced with the Dev by the pale moonlight? Well, I have and it's silly, unexpected fun (you should not have because he's my son). About a month ago we started to have our stress-relieving dance parties. We always have one on the weekend, although during the week the urge to party can [...]
