It is what it is – don’t look here for motivation!
Over the past month the top search term drawing random strangers to this site is “Motivation”. Pardon me for a moment while I react to the idea that I can provide advice on this topic: OK, OK….so um..motivation eh? I supposed folks were experiencing what I call the February doldrums. Still stuck with winter weather. [...]

Go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal – jingles that make you go ARRRGH!
I posted this meme in Facebook the other day to collect a few gems before sharing here and gathering more. The other morning I was watching The Daily Rundown on MSNBC as I do every morning when the alarm goes off at 6ampst and one of those commercials that seems to run all over cable [...]

I knew it wouldn’t all sell, but I figured some small things would attract folks and you just never know what will catch someone’s eye. My somewhat joking [...]
I refuse!
I REFUSE to let the good spirits I am in from a great, productive, fun weekend of cleaning & running & socializing & organizing & writing waste away into Monday! (heck the Padres even swept a weekend series!) I REFUSE to let the news that Sports Boy’s weekend diving certification courses start at 6am instead of 7am [...]
Transitions, part 1
In case you didn’t notice from my last post, SportsBoy is looking less like a boy and more like a teen clearly transitioning to a young man: Last summer I hatched a plan to start transitioning his bedroom to match, but somehow got side tracked. So this year when the summer bonus-in-lieu-of-a-raise time [...]
Push Presents and our Madison Avenue driven culture of expectation
Listening to a morning radio show on the way to work I heard a completely new term. “Push Present” Now, I know I fall out of the range of your typical female target audience. The things that I watch on TV or the magazines & blogs I read are WAY out of the norm for [...]
