Sometimes when you are a couple, you notice these weird ways that you each deal with similar problems.
For example, when I am really tired, I just go to sleep. Admittedly I try not to do that when I am operating heavy machinery or eating.
I have been known to go to bed at 9:00 just [...]

Every year on my summer vacation, whether I am at the beach or camping, I like to spend some time reading.
Invariably, if I am lucky, I get to read most of a page before someone interrupts me with some major crisis. Apparently, I am a high demand person. I seem to be the only [...]

Speaking of ‘homeland’ security
WE HAVE finally bitten the bullet and updated our home security. My family is now protected by the best crime deterrent possible. Yes, you guessed it, we are now protected by a sticker with a security company’s name on it. Well, it comes with a security system too, but we have been [...]

My teenage daughter brought home a couple of new pairs of jean shorts the other day.
Now apparently there must be some kind of world wide denim shortage that I was unaware of.
I would think that the manufacturers could be a bit more generous in the amount of material that they offer.
My wife: “Show these [...]

My wife got lost the other day.
I was at work when I got a call from her.
My wife: “I am lost. I am at the Sportsplex.”
Me: “If you know where you are, then technically you are not lost.”
My wife: “I mean I can’t find the store I was going too in the industrial park.”
At this [...]

One of my friends confided in me, that she went on a spaz the other day.
They have a home gym in their basement. She went down to do some weights and found that the kids and her husband had been messing with the gear. She was having one of those days and she lost it [...]

My wife hauled me off to the Gap the other day.
“Look I have a ‘Friends and Family’ card -30% off! You could use some fashionable jeans.”
My wife likes to save money by spending money. If that seems counter intuitive then you are a male.
I was in the dressing room trying on jeans when I [...]

We have a cat. She is a good cat; by that I mean she is only moderately annoying. And in fairness to the cat, although that makes her somewhat more difficult than our 14 year old daughter, she is still significantly easier to deal with than our 11 year old son.
Now my wife likes [...]

I was searching the internet the other day and I saw an advertisement. It was one of those before and after ads for abdominal exercises.
Except…. I didn’t notice the second picture.
Now the first picture was a guy with a little bit of flab on his abs. The second picture was the same guy but [...]

We were watching the red carpet thingy for the Oscars this week. Kathy
Ireland (the former swimsuit model) was one of the interviewers:
Me: “Wow she is a good interviewer.”
My wife: “No, she is just there because she looks good in a gown”
Me: “I hadn’t noticed.”
I had noticed but I was just trying to get her going.
My [...]
