I was digging through a pile of schoolwork that Fury has brought home over the past couple years and realized that a parent can learn a whole lot more than simply how well his kid is doing in school. Look at this, for example: I learned that ...

Neither I, Nor Beef, Will Ever Be The Same

Neither I, Nor Beef, Will Ever Be The Same

I love beef. Always have. So when I was invited by TheMotherhood.com to come up with some beef recipes as part of their "I Heart Beef" campaign, I was all too happy to oblige. After I said yes, however, I realized something. My best beef recipe consists of ...

I don't post nearly as much as I used to, I know. But it doesn't mean I don't feel guilty about it. And it certainly doesn't mean I won't think of some way of buying time between real posts. Like this. What's the best part of the movies? The previews. Roll ...

  There is a community living among us that few outside observers have successfully documented, let alone infiltrated. It is a collective of beings who organize themselves in complex social networks based upon tribes and niches. They frolic on Pandora, but can also be found on ...

That Burning Sensation

I fear churches. Don't get me wrong. I don't harbor any disdain for those who are devout in their beliefs. In fact, I quite admire someone who can devote themselves to their faith, in the same way I admire that French spiderman guy who free-climbs skyscrapers. Church just simply scares the ...

Boyz Night Out. Done Right.

There comes a time in every man's life when the call of the wolfpack beckons. When his instinctual urge to belch, fistbump and exchange wasszuuups with the homies drives him to log off Club Penguin in search of opportunities to high five and lose his voice. These are the times ...

Shuffle On. To The Great Big Playlist in the Sky.

"Dad, you're doing reckless magic!" - Tastemaker Video 3

“Dad, you’re doing reckless magic!” – Tastemaker Video 3

Monday, January 4, 2010 11:09

That's that first thing Fury said when he watched my third and final video for the US Potato Board's Tastemaker Challenge. Nice to know my 7-year old has stricter boundaries for absurdity than I do. And I carry that absurdity into the kitchen for my recipe as well. Because I ...

A Shaman, I Am Not

I awoke from my last dream of 2009 late for work and thoroughly perplexed. Whereas I could easily make up the commute time thanks to the fact that no one else was working on New Year's Eve day, there's no way I could make up a dream like this: I was ...
