Baby Mojo is about to take his first step. Because of that he’s been crawling fast, grabbing lots and seriously exhausting this stay at home dad. When I’m beat down I have good dreams and lately, they’ve been great. They’ve been so good that I’ve started writing down a couple words when I wake up so I can remember them later.
In my dream I was in Canal City, a futuristic shopping mall in Fukuoka, Japan. Continue reading The immutable law of attraction: Dream, Cats, Mall
Since becoming a father one of the biggest changes have been the running of errands. All of them are consolidated and planned out like a-connect-the-dots course designed to get Baby Mojo home before feeding or nap.
The errand that has taken the biggest hit is the trip to the home improvement store. Now when we visit I don’t even get to use that large push cart. Baby Mojo sits in the normal shopping cart and waves to everybody in the store, a ten month old he just loves to wave. Initially it felt odd pushing a shopping cart, what with its’ confined ‘cart’; instead of the flat one that can hold anything in the store and was in itself a work out to move.
Prior to having a child I’d visit once a week, even if I didn’t need anything. Anything and need is all relative, I mean you can always use cleaning solvents and dirt. Continue reading Dad runs an errand to the home improvement store
Recently my wife came home after getting a hair cut (female speak: went to the stylist) and was more than a little bit bummed. To me, her haircut looked fine, a bit shorter than it usually was, but it still looked great. Husbands: the preceding response is always your go to, even if it’s not true and in my case it was definitely true.
I started shaving my head thirteen years ago but realistically I should’ve started four years before that. During high school I told everybody that I “just had a high hairline, like Arnold Schwarzenegger”. Continue reading Sleeping with Pat Benatar: Bald men have it easy
It’s that feeling in your stomach immediately after you pass a police officer who’s looking for speeders using that radar gun. Immediately you think, ‘Shoot, was I speeding, let me look in the rear view mirror to see if they’re moving….ugh, yup, they’re moving, lights on and coming this way’. Then, Continue reading That sinking feeling
I’m a stay at home dad now. My wife said that she knew that I loved our son because when he was born I rubbed noses with him like I do with our cats. For the first couple years of our marriage she would occasionally (sarcastically?) accuse me of liking the cats more than her. Now we’re deeper into our marriage and I know that she was being sarcastic.
Cats are great pets, but they sometimes get a bum rap. Continue reading CATS-off Broadway and in your house
As a child everything I knew about dogs I learned from Snoopy. Since then, I’ve worked at one of the largest animal shelters in Atlanta doing their communications, PR, offsite events and fundraising. It was during that time, in addition to my own 10 years of owning dogs; that taught me lots about what works and what doesn’t for folks who are thinking about adopting a dog. Continue reading It’s a dog’s life
I’m not talking about the birds and the bees, I mean from where will you adopt your cat or dog? Odds are that your cat or dog will come from one of four sources, an animal shelter, animal control, rescue organization or breeder. Here is an overview of the pros and cons of each source.
Animal control
Animal Control is the entity that your tax dollars help support. They’ll usually be called by the county of residence animal control, XXX County Animal Control for example. If it’s really called XXX, then Vin Diesel has really gone down hill or maybe you need to speak with your local politicians about their side jobs. Continue reading Where do pets come from?
You never want to start a sentence out like that do you? To be technically correct, it was a video file on the camera and I didn’t show it to her because I thought she would find it disgusting. Continue reading My wife found a videotape that I was hiding
