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 [...]
I let my satellite radio subscription die. I’m not really sure why because it’s not that expensive. I regret my decision. There are ads on satellite radio but there are also loads of channels so it’s easy to jump from one to the next and avoid ads. I’m not a big fan of all the [...]
A few weeks ago I received a nice note from Shannon Willits – a fellow survivor of divorce who had relocated to Tucson and had visited my blog. He said he liked what I was up to and suggested I use my ex-wife’s wedding dress as a patch for a damaged screen door . . [...]
It was a year ago today that my buddy Greg told me my I-Web blog sucked in the back of his warehouse near downtown Tucson. He thought the content was good but knowing a bit more about the workings of the internet than I do he told me I needed to step it up and [...]
I got back from a little vacation a couple of days ago. My fiancee and I ran off to Tulum for 4 days … a little bit south of Cancun in Mexico. A lot of people freak out when you tell them you are going to travel to Mexico but Tulum is a great place [...]
I still have my wedding ring sitting in a drawer in my kitchen. It’s gold but I’m under the impression that it’s not worth very much even though gold is worth something like $1300/ounce these days. I haven’t put any thought into to what to do with it but I got an e-mail recently that [...]
I don’t know what the technical term is for an object you put at the base of the door to prevent cold air from coming in. I’ve never really needed one before. A couple weeks ago Tucson was shocked by consecutive nights with low temperatures in the teens. I didn’t pay attention to advice that [...]
Wedding dresses are not easy to fly. My ex-wife’s wedding dress is heavy. I bet it weighs at least 10 lbs. by itself. My brother and I aren’t engineers but we made a frame to give the dress some structure. It helped but our frame was heavy too. I basically flew a 20lb. kite yesterday. [...]
I am not insinuating anything with this post. Some guys started a site for guys to vent about their ex-wives. I support self-help forums and I think it’s funny. And they sent me a t-shirt – I’m cheap – and I like free stuff. You can check out their noble cause at www.myexwifeiscrazy.com. Happy Valentine’s [...]
// In the spirit of the entertaining Volkswagon pint-size Darth Vader Superbowl commercial I have decided to unveil the mini Darth Vader scarecrow. Not only did my ex-wife leave her wedding dress when she moved out . . . she left a miniature replica wedding dress too. For our wedding someone made a doll made [...]
