I will never forget Christmas two years ago. It was the first Christmas where I actually got to really play Santa. No, not by dressing up in an oversized gaudy red coat and cap. Now that I think about it, I actually didn’t play Santa…I was more like one of his elves. It was [...]

On the flip side of yesterday’s blog, let’s look at what kind of woman most men want for a wife. Just to be fair, I conducted a little experiment yesterday and asked a few different guys to describe their dream woman. Sadly most of the responses I got were centered around certain looks they desired [...]
Ask any little girl what kind of man they want to marry. The answer you will get will be a description fitting somewhere between prince charming and Fabio. As girl grow into women, that description doesn’t change much. And the funny thing is, we as men know this. We know what type of man women [...]
This past Thursday was tough. You may have noticed, no blog was posted Thursday. I had to play the role of Mr. Mom that day. Lacy was up all night with a terrible headache. Miagrain is the word she used to describe it. When that word is used, I know its bad. When she woke that [...]

Andy will grab a towel and wrap it around his shoulders like a cape. Only don’t call it a cape. To him it isn’t a cape. It’s his shirt. [...]
I can already smell the pine needles. I can hear the music playing in the background. Sounds of joy…of Bing Crosby bellowing in the background. I can already see the houses all lit up and hear the laughter and excitement of children. Santa’s coming. Christmas is not but a few short months away. And I [...]
I had to do it. Not just for my own vanity, but for my health as well. When Lacy and I got married, I was 249 lbs. And it wasn’t good weight. I was fat. There is no way to be nice about it. My new bride had just gained the State Puff Marsh mellow [...]
“Andy, share with your brother!” If you ever come to our house for any extended period of time, you’ll more than likely hear this phrase. Our three year old Andy loves his toys. But he loves them way to much. He doesn’t want anyone else to have them…even if he’s not playing with them. Our [...]
