What The New Kids on the Block can teach you about aging

Aging is fabulous.  There is nothing special about 365 days other than the fact that that it’s the number of days in one year.  Every 365 days people, presuming they’re still with us, have a birthday.  If 730 days made up a year then we’d all live half as long and if 182 days made up a year we’d all live twice as long. Continue reading What The New Kids on the Block can teach you about aging

Just in time for Father’s Day: 5 memorable movie dads

Naptime DIY: How to mow your lawn in a diagonal pattern

Last summer a neighbor commented on the front yard.  “Hey, did you cross cut your front yard”, he said.  Honestly speaking we didn’t know what we did; we were just bored of cutting it in the same square pattern.  “Yup, we sure did”, I said.  The neighbor commented that it looked better than usual so I figured I should keep doing whatever it is we did to the front yard. Continue reading Naptime DIY: How to mow your lawn in a diagonal pattern

What every dad wants for Father’s Day

That title was just a little bit of link bait, please excuse us for that.  Mom, dad and parent bloggers know that around our respective days we receive oodles of press releases about the perfect thing for “Father’s Day!”   If I were to take those releases at face value I’d tell you that I need some fancy fruit, expensive shot glasses, BBQ sauce and a pair of running shoes to make my Father’s Day complete.

Prometheus jumps in the deep end of the pool for a nice ride

Ridley Scott returns to direct what some people view as a sequel to his original 1979 classic Alien.  Prometheus is kind of a sequel, but also a reboot and could be seen by some people as a movie that stands on its own legs by itself.  We won’t reveal any spoilers here, so this will be safe to read if you dig the mythology of Alien or if it’s alien to you.

I’m not shaving for a Philips Norelco review, #realpro #norelco, not because I’m lazy or trying to look older,

For the past two and a half weeks I haven’t shaved.  Not that I want to share my bathing and shaving habits with any readers, but I do like a good challenge.  Shaving wasn’t a challenge per se, but the folks at Phillips Norelco challenged a couple of guy bloggers to ditch the blade and try going electric.  For the record I’ll also accept any challenges that revolve around duct tape and/or bacon.  Continue reading I’m not shaving for a Philips Norelco review, #realpro #norelco, not because I’m lazy or trying to look older,
