  • Morning Coffee: The Laser-Filled, Burning World of CDs

    Morning Coffee: The Laser-Filled, Burning World of CDs

    Do you remember the heyday of CDs, when Sam Goody existed and Best Buy was a cornucopia of entertainment? I remember, and that’s probably why my knees hurt and I grunt when bending over. Those shiny platters provided escape to an ethereal plane where the noise, distractions, and grit of the real world could not…

  • Morning Coffee: Assembly Required

    Morning Coffee: Assembly Required

    Shout out to all the dads of past, present, and future who get hit with the “Assembly Required” message on a toy or anything else. I just spent roughly two hours assembling a Little Tikes coupe for my daughter. Is this where all fatherhood and marriage leads: an un-handyman forced into handyman situations?

  • Morning Coffee: Sprinklers

    Morning Coffee: Sprinklers

    I never expected lawn care to become such a major part of my life. It came about as a responsibility of necessity rather than choice. Yet, now, I find there are peaceful moments to be had in the act, particularly when it comes to watering the lawn.

    Movies I Like Ep. 5: Jurassic Park

    Hey, here’s a movie that I like…Jurassic Park is a 1993 adventure movie based on the Michael Crichton novel of the same name. The film brought dinosaurs to life like audiences had never seen before and spawned multi-decade blockbuster franchise. The original will forever hold a special place in my heart for the memories it…

  • Morning Coffee: Tremors

    Morning Coffee: Tremors

    The original Tremors is a classic. Tremors 2 is not a classic, but it is memorable. I was unaware, however, that something else lurks beneath the surface.

  • Morning Coffee: Walks (But not the long kind)

    Morning Coffee: Walks (But not the long kind)

    I took a walk to clear my mind, and boy, did it. Every home I walked past got me wondering about the people who live there and how their lives took shape to bring them to the moment they are at right then. This led to trying to picture my place in a vast world…

  • Morning Coffee: Day Movies

    Morning Coffee: Day Movies

    What if you really want to see a movie in the theater, but your nights are full and your energy is absent? Let me introduce you to the “day movie”, or matinee, if you will. It solves one my biggest problems, but it’s not a perfect solution. Regardless, I’m a fan.

  • Morning Coffee: The Mug Problem

    Morning Coffee: The Mug Problem

    Mugs are the best souvenir. The desire for having a mug to mark the passage of time and our experiences is infinite. Our cabinet and counter space, however, is not.

  • Morning Coffee: Fickle Diets

    Morning Coffee: Fickle Diets

    Determining what to eat for a day’s meals is one of the more frustrating daily activities. It’s an activity exacerbated by kids who each have different tastes and stubborn attitudes. There is, however, hope for becoming a “one meal” family.
