I just wrapped up an insanely busy Thanksgiving weekend. I am exhausted, but am reminded of how much I have to be thankful for. With everything going on I sometimes lose sight of how good things really are and what is most important and Thanksgiving is a good reminder. I really like the holiday. It [...]
I moved this past weekend. Or I guess I should say I attempted to move. It was mostly successful except that the house I left is still a disaster. I couldn’t sell it and have yet to rent it so why attend to it when I can work on the new place? I had no [...]
I want to thank everyone who took time on a Tuesday night to be a part of my first ever book signing. I really had no idea what to expect but the event actually turned out to be a lot of fun. I was slightly intimidated when I saw the layout after being directed [...]
Help me come up with contest ideas and win a signed copy of my book and a unique bookmark . . . I was just informed that the books my publisher sends me are in transit and due to arrive any day. I already have homes for a few of them with people who helped me along the [...]
On Tuesday last week Frank had me on his show on 96.1 KLPX here in Tucson – I really appreciate those guys bringing me back on. I chatted with Frank, Tic-Tac, and Sherm last year shortly after my website started attracting some attention online. Those guys know how to have a good time and I [...]
This has been a wild week and I am very excited that my book is finally out. I have received a lot of very nice e-mails with words of encouragement and kind wishes. I really appreciate that. So Tuesday was the big day that my book was supposed to hit the shelves – or that [...]
I recently got back from my annual fishing trip with my brother and some of our friends. It was almost two years ago that my brother Colin encouraged me to bring a pristine preserved wedding dress once worn by my ex-wife on a fishing trip. Two years ago we took it out of the box [...]
I had a nice surprise when I got home from work yesterday . . . my copy of 101 Uses For My Ex-Wife’s Wedding Dress. I called my brother Colin, who lives very close by, and he came over to see our finished project. Colin took the majority of the pictures in the book and [...]
I bet that 20 years ago few people celebrated the demise of their marriages with parties, t-shirts, or painted car windows. Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like the celebration part of the process is something new. Resources like the Divorce Shower Store haven’t been around for very long after all. I’m sure that formal [...]
Ahhhh yes – this week my kids returned to school. And that, I hope, means I can find my routine again. The summer my ex-wife moved out 2 years ago was a complete train wreck. This summer was easier but still full of challenges – especially for someone who doesn’t look that far ahead in [...]
