My friend is chronicling this trip. It’s a fantastic and important cause and I highly encourage you all to repost this to your blogs, Facebook, Twitter and whatever else is new that I don’t know about. Thanks!

Denver Ink

Denver Ink

This morning I uttered the words, “get off Daddy’s private area!” at least 5 times. No, this command was not directed towards my wife—I’ll spare you any more details on that front. This command was directed towards my daughters after they jumped in bed with us this morning and decided to play Spiderman vs Green [...]

Just (Naked) People Helping People

I Need Professional Help

I Need Professional Help

Styx said it best: ta ta ta too much time on my hands.
This is what I did today after a solid hour of job hunting. Why did I chose this “activity?” Good question. I pondered things to write about but nothing inspired me until I thought back to a couple of days ago and [...]

More often than not, when I [...]

A neighbor commented on my hydroponic stash today during an impromptu BBQ I hosted at Chez McDad.
Alas, I’m not that cool, if you find such things cool. A 41-year-old father of 2 living in the Colorado burbs really has no business growing his own pot. This “grass” is merely a school project that Lilly brought [...]

Love Means Cleaning up the Chunks

Love Means Cleaning up the Chunks

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
And now faith, hope, [...]

Travel Log: Positano, Italy

Travel Log: Positano, Italy

Our recent Europe trip took us to Positano, a small city on the Amalfi coast, about a ninety-minute drive south of Naples. The drive itself, reminiscent of the Northern California coastline, gives you a hint of what’s to come–mainly, magnificent Mediterranean views. If carsickness is an issue for you, as it is with MRS, I [...]
