If I…

If I beat my son, then I should be prepared to for him to hate me when he's older. If I rob a bank, then I should be prepared to go to prison if I am caught. If I drop out of college, then I should be prepared to live life without a degree. If [...]

THE DEVIL MADE US DO IT!

The proverbial %&*# has hit the fan.  I got a call last week at my job from the Devil's school. He was losing his damn mind in the background as I talked to a supervisor, the cherry on top of a long day overseeeing the operations of a 200 staff early childhood department.  I don't know the details [...]

I DON’T KNOW JACK-O-LANTERNS

With Halloween only a couple of weeks away my wife and I are getting into the spirit.  Today we dragged our son to look at costumes, and yesterday we purchased several sacks of candy.  We decorated the house a bit and are hoping to stay festive until the big day.  I'll admit that my son has a passing interest [...]
