Music Monday-Disco Tex and the Sex O lettes

We do love music.  Prior to having all of our music on MP3 looking over ones CD collection was the litmus test of how cool that person was.  Our musical tastes have wandered over the years and now that we’ve established ourselves it’s a good time to reflect on songs that give us Mojo.

Should you let your children play with your Star Wars stuff?

It’s a fine line between collector, pack rat and starring in Hoarders.  Now that I’m a dad the line is still fine and I’m trying to figure out where some of my stuff falls.  Today I’ll focus on all of the Star Wars stuff. Continue reading Should you let your children play with your Star Wars stuff?

Royal Marshall and unexpected happenings

I was reminded of a tidbit of advice that a married friend of mine gave me many years ago.  I was over at their house and his wife was going up the street to run a couple quick errands.  On her way out of the room he said “Hey, I Love you”. Continue reading Royal Marshall and unexpected happenings

Toys for the toddler: Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Camera

Toddlers destroy things.  If a toddler were a mattress they’d have a tag on them that says, “Do not remove this tag or I’ll destroy more things than I would normally”.  Toddlers touch what they shouldn’t, parents stop them, that’s our job.

The other night my wife and I were watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind.  Aside from the clothing and cars, that movie has aged very well.  When those little spaceships were zipping around Devils Tower my wife said to me, “Do you remember when we saw that UFO?”

I had to think for a moment and then I did remember when we saw a UFO. Continue reading Daddy Mojo sees a UFO

A Dad (and Wife) review The Expendables and The A-Team

It’s two movies, so seemingly attached at the hip that they deserve to be reviewed together.  Over a three week period my wife and I saw both of these movies.  We weren’t locked in a room with these movies and neither one was so bad that it look an excessively long time to watch; we were just really busy caring for our toddler.

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-Cutting down a Tree

Before reading any farther, ask yourself these questions.    Is the tree in the middle of the forest?  Am I a lumberjack?  If the answer to either of those questions was “No”, then you should not cut this tree down.

The particular tree in question for this dad was a dead 60 foot tall pine that was standing in the way of progress.  Continue reading DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-Cutting down a Tree

What Pee Wee’s Playhouse can teach Parents

Growing up in the 80’s had certain peaks and valleys.  For me one of those peaks was watching Pee Wee’s Playhouse, the kids’ show that adults could love starring Paul Reubens.  Children could enjoy the visuals and the simple jokes while adults (see:  college students) enjoyed the sublime humor or played it later as a drinking game.
