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 [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
On my Facebook page there was a wager proposed on one University of Arizona vs. University of Texas game during the NCAA hoops tourney. My brother-in-law, a Longhorn fanatic, was confident my Cats would go down and wanted to bet on the game. I’m a gambling sort of guy and always like making a game [...]
My brother Colin is in California this weekend officiating his buddy Dave’s wedding. Apparently California has a program called “Deputy For A Day” by which anybody can get a single day license to oversee a wedding. How cool is that? Church weddings are great but not everybody chooses to go that route and if you [...]
It’s heating up in the desert which makes for some active evening critters. I live on the fringe of Tucson in an area that is still mostly desert so I have frequent encounters with things I prefer not be in my yard – mostly because I have kids. I like most reptiles so I like [...]
