There are countless ways that The Avengers could have been messed up. It’s the stuff of legendary internet memes, with Lego characters making a bad version of the movie. The casting could’ve been bad-the script could’ve focused too much on one character or ignored others. Thankfully The Avengers nails it to the floor and is one of most entertaining movies you’ll see this year. Continue reading The Avengers is the movie fans want and audiences can enjoy
Hulk smash: Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 5
For the past year my inner self has been writing a series of posts called Hulk vs. Batman. The blog posts would consist of a review of each month’s issue of Batman and Hulk. In reality it was just an excuse to try to deduct the cost of my comic books as a ‘business expense.’ Continue reading Hulk smash: Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 5
Tips for having more fun at Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World is an incredibly large place to visit. I worked there for two and a half years and recently visited for the first time in 15 years-and with a family.

Ridley Pearson visits Little Shop of Stories, May 3, 7PM
My family and I just returned from Disney Social Media Moms at Walt Disney World. While I was there I had the opportunity to meet Ridley Pearson and hear him speak about getting kids motivated about reading.

Mother’s Day is May 13. Granted it’s in a couple of weeks, but if you’re anything like me you’ll get distracted. Repo Games will be on television, something needs to be duct taped, bacon could be eaten and look a squirrel with a fluffy tail! You and I mean well, but life happens, things get in the way and Mother’s Day will be here before you know it. Continue reading Teleflora gets your Mother’s Day going with flowers
Van Halen concert review, Kool & The Gang and Billy Mack
The new Van Halen release is very good. I reviewed A Different Kind of Truth recently and the songs are surprisingly hard and well crafted. I also commented that there was no way I was paying more than $150 to see anybody in concert. Thankfully, my fabulous wife came through and won us some tickets!

DIY a Stay at Home Dad Can Do: Kill weeds without chemicals
Last year I put three name brand weed killers against each other. I was tired of forgetting which weed killer did a good job and ending up with half bottles of multiple different kinds. For the record, Spectracide did the best job on the weeds for us. However, someone commented that as a dad I should use more natural methods to control weeds.

Democrats declare war on stay at home moms, SAHDs jealous
I’m a news junkie in the body of a stay-at-home-dad. The story of Hilary Rosen and what she said about stay-at-home-moms not “working a day in their lives” if fascinating on so many levels. It’s a great example of how a story can get blown out of proportion in a very short amount of time. Continue reading Democrats declare war on stay at home moms, SAHDs jealous
