Wedding Dress Bookmarks

One of the 101 uses of my ex-wife’s wedding dress in my book is bookmark.  I used the dress as a bookmark for a book I used to help get me back in action – “Date Young Women – For Men Over 35.” With the books I am giving away I am including bookmarks cut […]

TGIF = Thanksgiving Is Friday (the blended family way)

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 […]

Past Due Book Giveaways

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 […]

Book Signing

  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 […]

Contest Ideas

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 […]

Halloween, The Frank Show, and Jake Huey

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 […]

My Bookstore Visit

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 […]

Before and After

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 […]

The Book

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 […]

Celebrating Divorce

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 […]
