Happy Birthday MC Hammer

The great MC Hammer turned 50 yesterday.  I’m a day late in getting this up.  I put together a little video a while back wearing some Hammer pants that I made from my ex-wife’s wedding dress.  I’m a very bad dancer.  I can’t touch MC Hammer’s moves.   //

My Retirement Community

I received this e-mail this week from my neighborhood association.  It is just too good to keep to myself.  I essentially live in a retirement community in the Tucson suburbs.  90% of the homes in my neighborhood are owned by retirees with small fancy dogs.  Watch out for the guy walking my neighborhood with his [...]

Getting Married in Arizona

Last year Ashley and I were trying to figure out how we were going to get married.  We really just wanted to be married and didn’t want to make a big production of it.  Neither of us had the time or the desire to plan a big wedding, but of course there were people near [...]

Happy New Year

I’m beat – not because I consumed too much eggnog over the holidays or because I decided to start the New Year with a mile of burpees (yes that is 1 mile of burpees . . . burpee then broad jump and repeat for 1 hour and 53 minutes) but because the holidays require so [...]

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 [...]
