Secret Santa Strikes Back
I know, I know, I know. It’s not even CLOSE to Christmas. But dang, looking out the window today on THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING, you’d think that ol’ St. Nick is about ready to pull up his fat pants and hit the sleigh in style.
So, here’s the deal. A number of years ago I opened the ol’ memory …
40 Years – Knowledge McNuggets
So today I’m 40 years old and I thought about doing a retrospective of some sort. You know, maybe go back through the old pictures and junk and show people how much (or little) I’ve grown up over the years. But I don’t know, man. That seems pretty self-indulgent and let’s face it: a lot of work.
Instead, I thought …
Rockin’ After Midnight
Did I ever tell you about the time someone slashed the tires on my car? This was back in high school, so I’m pretty sure I didn’t. It was a dark time, but reading a book a friend wrote TOTALLY brought me back to that place and time. In his book, his main character thinks someone is trying to break …
Getting Back Out There – New Year’s Resolutions and Other Garbage
When my parents used to tell me that time goes by faster and faster the older you get, I never really believed them. Seriously. How was THAT even possible? Like another year gets slapped onto your total and life just eases down on the accelerator a bit? Didn’t seem to make much sense.
Holy Hannah, people. It totally makes sense …
TKT’s Adventures in Fatherhood – Episode 219
This morning Laura had an appointment to get her haircut. Since her appointment was at 9am and I had a hankerin’ for a delicious breakfast burrito (with BACON) at Sonic, I decided the best thing to do would be to grab the kids and hit the road. The boys were excited enough and I thought: Yes. Let’s have a Boy’s …
The Problem With Being Picky
I think I was told long ago that when I got older, I wasn’t going to be so picky about food and what-not. Apparently, when I was just a young TKT, I used to eat anything and everything without question.
Mushrooms? Sure.
Beets? Okay.
Fish/fish sticks? Why not?
Assorted creamy white sauces and such? Pile it on.
Somewhere in grade-school, …
Deadlines, yo (or) Fun With Motivation
What is up?
Kind of a random thought/topic: I’ve had some people ask me in the past how the heck I’m able to stay productive and get so much stuff done. I’ve also had people make snide comments when I mentioned going to a concert or a movie (god forbid!) every once in a while, wondering how I’m able to …
Nuggets of Delight
Thought I would do a scatter-shot of stuff that’s happening in my world. That way you don’t have to waste time reading about stuff you don’t care about. You can be all like: Ugh…who cares about his books?…and then skip onto the next thing. You see how I do that?
I do it for you. I do it ALL for …
In Which Some Stuff Happens…
Ah, Sunday. You’ve caught me again! It’s insane how quickly time is going by. My parents used to tell me that it only goes faster every year and I’ll be dashed if they aren’t right. I’ve got some bit-sized chunks of fun stuff to share, so let’s get down to it, shall we?
