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 […]

Back to School – and Wedding Dress Tie Down Tarp

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 […]

Wedding Dress Wager

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 […]

The Reverend

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 […]

New Dress Use: Snake Sack

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 […]

Divorce – The Top 10 Reasons We Do It

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 […]

Rapture

I can’t say that I am well prepared for the end of the world, but if the world really ends how prepared does one really need to be? I tried hard the last couple of days to convince my customers to order extra material just in case some event over the weekend screws up our […]

New Dress Use: Jeep Soft Top

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 . . […]
