What to do about sex change operations for children

Well there’s a title I never thought I would write.  I was trolling the internet today and saw a headline that stated just that, “Sex change treatment for children: It’s on the rise”.  There must be some mistake, I thought.  So I clicked on the link and found out that indeed, sex change operations for children are increasing.  Continue reading What to do about sex change operations for children

The Secret World of Arrietty is anime that kids will love

The Secret World of Arrietty is presented by Disney, but it doesn’t look anything like a Disney film.  When we got in the theater my friend let me know that it was Anime and not the traditional animation I was accustomed to.  Anime is a type of animation where the eyes are bigger, rounder and have that tell-tale half moon white bit in the pupil of every character.  Continue reading The Secret World of Arrietty is anime that kids will love

My wife is a better mom, but I’m a better dad

When I started being a stay at home dad the little things irritated me.  The ‘moms’ club that wouldn’t allow dads for the play dates was annoying and made getting play dates more work.   When store clerks innocently said “so you’re staying home with the kids today?” I’ve simply learned to smile politely and tell them that I do this every day.    Continue reading My wife is a better mom, but I’m a better dad

Dad spends a night in the mancave: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

I love my wife.   Having said that, it’s good to watch a movie when she’s not around; no judgments- just me, beer, cats on the sofa and dogs by the fireplace.  On this occasion I finally got around to watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Continue reading Dad spends a night in the mancave: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

White Day is like Valentine’s Day, in a Sadie Hawkins way

When I was single I thought that Valentine’s Day for ladies not in a relationship meant that they were like a werewolf with a full moon.   “Well, if I’m not in a relationship, then I might as well talk to that cute, bald guy on the corner with 2 cats and 2 dogs”, all the single, slightly artsy ladies in Atlanta would say.  Shockingly, that never actually happened during my single years, or ever for that matter.  Continue reading White Day is like Valentine’s Day, in a Sadie Hawkins way

Milton area Boy Scouts conduct paint recycling on Feb 11

If you have a house you have cans of paint.  If you have a garage you have more cans of paint.  Recently I straightened up the garage, put up some wall hangers for the bigger tools and got as much stuff off of the floor as possible.  During this process I found-and properly disposed of 15 cans of paint. Continue reading Milton area Boy Scouts conduct paint recycling on Feb 11

Low hanging gift fruit for the wife: A canvas photograph

Sometimes when I have to buy a gift for my wife I look like a deer in headlights.  Gift cards to Soma, Michael’s, DSW or Home Depot can only go so far.  If you go to the gift card well once too often you spoil the water forever.   Sometimes a husband needs to plan ahead and really think about a gift for his better half.  Continue reading Low hanging gift fruit for the wife: A canvas photograph

Cavemen in Babyland is a fine primer for dads and moms-to-be

Kindred Howard is a friend of mine.  When he sent me his book, Cavemen in Babyland, he told me that guys don’t normally read parenting books and that it was kind of aimed at women.   Granted, he was probably just taking that information from marketing companies or perhaps his publisher.  Continue reading Cavemen in Babyland is a fine primer for dads and moms-to-be
