I wear the clothes, drive the car, pay the mortgage, and have lost the hair, but I still feel like a little kid, forever waiting for Zoltar to turn me back into that insecure 12 year boy I remember. My body is all of 39 years old, but I'm Tom Hanks in Big. Finding myself in... Continue Reading →
You’re stuck with me….
This is a letter to my best little buddy in the whole world. She can't read it yet, but hopefully someday she will be able to. She already knows a few letters in the alphabet so that day is probably closer than ever. But, she won't be surprised by anything that is said in this... Continue Reading →
Viral
I struggle with the notion of “going viral” all the time. I have a website that I write my stories on. I started just for myself, but there are so many tools I have access to so I can see how many people are reading, what time of day they are reading it, what post... Continue Reading →

Saturday started off as a pretty normal day in my house. There was some excitement later as the oldest was getting home from a week at her favorite camp later that day. The week with her gone is great, she has a blast and we just have one less body to bump into when trying... Continue Reading →
Elastic Heart
Running full speed to win a race to the ball in a soccer game I just beat my opponent to the ball ( I know, you are surprised) but he stuck his foot out and after I hit the ball I hit his foot and began to fall to the ground. I braced for impact... Continue Reading →

I'm just going to open this story begging for you to just give me a chance. Don't let the parts where I sound like a Neanderthal cloud this story. Remember I am constantly trying to evolve, trying to open my eyes up to new things. But, for lots of things my eyes have always been closed. ... Continue Reading →
Good Hangovers
Sunday morning I woke up, mowed the lawn and called the kids to see what their plans were for the day. See, they had slept over their Mammie and Buppa's on Saturday night. The wife was at a bachelorette party that same night. So, I woke up Sunday to an empty house. Just hung-over me... Continue Reading →

This past weekend I took a trip to Myrtle Beach with 13 of my friends. Friends I have known for almost 30 years. I will have a story about them once the statute of limitations expire and I won't incriminate anyone. But, for this, I wanted to write about one of the nights there and... Continue Reading →
I’m a Joker, I’m a Smoker, I’m a mid-night Toker
A 75 degree summer day. Thousands of 17 year old boys in white "Cocks" (University of South Carolina) hats. The girls wearing crop tops, jean skirts and wedge shoes. The crack of a bud light can quickly being opened and quickly poured into a red solo cup. The smell of Pot filling the air. Music... Continue Reading →
Lefty
I've known for a very long time that I am not a tough guy. In fact, I remember the day I found out for sure. I knew from this day on, that if I had to fight I would make sure I had a weapon or I was friendly with enough tough guys that would... Continue Reading →
