I had a great post to write for this morning and I was all geared up in my head to write it, when life changed my plans as it is wont to do. Last night, as my wife and I sat around being typical human beings, we noticed something troubling. My wife lifted the dog […]

Love and Marriage (and Sex)
Something has gone wrong with my awesome parenting. I think I have screwed up “the talk.” I have explained to my daughter how babies are made, and I think she understands the engineering part of it all, but somewhere along the line her glossary got a bit jumbled. I realized this a week or so ago, […]
5 Things Not To Do Before Bed
There is really only one thing I have to do before bed, and that is take the dog out. My wife takes Anna out in the morning, and I take her out at night. Daytime outings are done by whomever is home, so usually Ruby if we can get her to do it. But at night, […]
The Donahue Sea Caves (and how we fell into them)
Before we get started, I have to make a disclaimer. The name “Donahue Sea Caves” is very misleading. There is only one of them. I did not name it, so it is not my fault, but I didn’t want you to get mad later, like I did when I arrived, when you discover that the plural […]
The Mystery of Who Peed on Me
It was a dark and stormy night. 6:30 AM. The sky was dark and my mood was stormy. I was asleep. Suddenly, I was awoken by the sounds of gibberish. “Bwaaaa naaa, bee boop bwaaaa!” I blinked my eyes open slowly. Very slowly. My head was taking a pounding harder than a colt in Massachusetts. […]
Blog Closed Due to Play
I was just sitting down to write a post for today when my son came up to me and asked if I would play Rescue Bots with him. I’ll see you all tomorrow. Until then, please enjoy this video of a puppy trying to walk in boots.
I Can’t Stop SINGing! (Yes I Can)
Today I would like you to watch a short video of my son, dancing around the living room to a tune that he wrote. The video was funny enough on its own, which is why I started recording it in the first place, but the twist ending, in which he learns not to wave his […]
Chocolate Fury
You know, I do try to be a good parent most of the time. When my kids do something that they maybe shouldn’t have been doing, I try to talk to them about it without screaming in their faces in a furious rage. And sometimes I succeed. This is not a story about one of […]
Curly: The Dog Who Pooped All Over Me in the Car
Anna, the Pugpoo Pikachu, is the best advertisement for puppies that one could possibly concoct. Simply walking down the street with her is enough to garner dozens of “ooh”s and “aah”s and, of course, “where did you get that puppy?”s and “are there any more left?”s. I got her from my mother, I would tell […]
