In an effort to save time in the writing process I considered using this writing space to figure some things out with the help of the commenters (that’s you, in case you didn’t know) (even though, yes, you’re smarter than I am and of course you knew that!) In this quest, I realized that more [...]
What in the world have I been doing that keeps me from tending to my poor, neglected blog? Hunting for sharks with a paper clip and a piece of string a la MacGuyver, of course! You know me better than that. This isn’t a confession post. In fact, I’m thinking of this as more of [...]
Generally speaking, life is pretty happy for me. A few years ago I remember making the decision to be joyful. Willfully joyful. Basically, I was going to choose joy every single day. Some days are hard but they’re not always impossible and if I try hard enough I can find something to be joyful about. [...]
Back in October I moved into a house. It’s a darling little house with wood floors and heat registers and lovely character. The creaky wood floors make it impossible for my teenagers to sneak in late. The heat registers were quite warm and made for much better skin during the winter months since it’s filled [...]

I’m trying to be a better blogger but there’s this THING, y’all. There’s this JOB. And this gaggle of kids I have. They’re all pretty awesome and I can’t quit them just like a gay guy can quit another gay guy. Too far? I’m blaming my cute doggie who is, for some reason, really snuggling [...]
To list all the changes I’ve gone through in the last year and a half is more than this space could handle and more than I’m willing to write down at this time. Without going into much detail I can safely say that many of them are of the self-realization sort. With that said, I’ve [...]
I am taking Thumper’s advice: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nuthin’ at all.” So I’m shutting up now.
Before I get to DaveCago festivities I have to get to the $25 BP gas card winners. Are you as excited as I? Do you have a little gas right now, too? Well, just walk away from the computer really quickly and let it trail behind you. Then, blame it on the dog. Here is [...]
