Helpful Hammering

September 30, 2009

We’re in a sprint to finish up the painting on our “over the garage project.” The mess is horrendous. We have six of our children crammed into one very crowded bedroom, drywall dust coats everything, and most of our kids are speckled with paint.

I’ll Give You Something to Cry About!

June 5, 2009

Hey Dad, It’s finally happened. I’ve crossed the line. I’ve joined the ranks of frustrated dads who have resorted to cliché. In the past, I’ve piously cast judgment on parents who use lines such as, “Don’t make me come in there…I’m going to count to three…Don’t come running to me unless you are SERIOUSLY injured. [...]

Gooder Than Anything!

December 7, 2008

Hey Dad, I don’t mind telling you that being a dad is hard. In fact, I’d liken it to peddling up Pike’s Peak. There’s a lot to enjoy along the way, but if you stop peddling for even a moment, you’re doomed for a world of hurt. And if fathering wasn’t hard enough, there’s also [...]

Sir Dad, the Dragon Slayer!

November 3, 2008

Forsooth Dad, You know there are times in every man’s life when he stumbles into greatness. That was my lot this past week. I wasn’t looking for any accolades or parades, but my wife had just about had it with some pesky mice who were leaving their tell tale signs underneath the kitchen sink, and [...]
