Get ready to get down with ever-lovin’ earwax

I case you missed it, at 6:38 a.m. on Monday we officially entered Spring 2017. That and $5 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. (Which is why I buy my coffee from A Bean To Go). Yup, at 6:38 a.m., the sun was perfectly positioned over the equator, signifying spring in the […]

Despite the snow & cold, it’s Sunshine Week

Despite the snow & cold, it’s Sunshine Week

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stop your whining. It’s the middle of March and it snowed. Big deal. It’s winter in Michigan, for crying out loud. And, while I (like you) was gearing up for an unusually early spring, it didn’t happen. Groundhogs be damned, who can trust overgrown rodents anyway? Get over it and focus your […]

Hickory, dickory dock, something about a clock

Hickory, dickory dock, something about a clock

If you use Google like I do (which is whenever a weird or random thought pops into my head, I Google it) you learn lots of things and at the same time come up with more questions that need answering. I think Google has become my surrogate parent now I am a graying parent myself. […]

Well, rats. I hate when I flip-flop like I am gonna’.

Well, rats. I hate when I flip-flop like I am gonna’.

Oh, since about what, Day One AE (After Election) I have yammered on about all the hubbub taking place in these here un-united states of America.

Science, math — ok — thinking isn’t my strength

Science, math — ok — thinking isn’t my strength

I never gave much thought to the scientific study of how particular qualities or traits are transmitted from parents to offspring. Deep contemplation on this subject, like most in my realm of existence, doesn’t happen often. It’s okay. I know myself. I just kinda roll with the punches and see where I land. Since I […]

My honest assessement: Super Bowl Sunday was kinda’ good

My honest assessement: Super Bowl Sunday was kinda’ good

Wow. I feel bad. I have empathy. I feel the pain every Atlanta National League Football Falcons fan feels this Monday morning. Mere hours after the NFL’s most elite team, those pesky Tom Brady led, New England Patriots erased a 25-point deficit to win their fifth Super Bowl in seven tries, I can only feel […]

Remember: you’re an embarassment to your kids

Remember: you’re an embarassment to your kids

Being a parent, specifically “Father,” is a great gig. Mom’s do all the heavy lifting, and you end up the hero. I don’t know how it is, but I love the way it works. Well, maybe I do know how it works. In four words, “Everybody loves the fool.” And, gentlemen in fatherhood, lend me […]

And then the voices above me said . . .

And then the voices above me said . . .

At the dawn of yet another year, the leaders of the universe that is Sherman Publications sat atop their ivory towers and looked down at me. From far above I heard their voices bellowing like rolling thunder. In unison, three voices spoke as one . . . “Donald,” they summoned, I looked up and a […]
