I don’t always have new gear. I don’t always have the latest video games. I do sneak in tech purchases from time to time, but I’m typically not one to wait in line and over spend for stuff either. Why? Well, I am the single bread winner in the house and let me tell you, [...]

This is Funk Chucks. He will funk you up! I am not playing with you, I could not be more serious about this. If you have pushed Funk Chucks too far, you will feel the fury of Funk Chucks. You’ve heard of nunchucks? Yeah, well, these are FUNK chucks. When you get hit upside the [...]

Today the wife and I (read wife) are taking down the Christmas decorations. For me, this is like a huge kick in the nuts. Here’s why: Vacation time is over. Work is right around the corner. I hate taking totes up and down the friggin’ stairs. I hate it, especially when I’m putting them away [...]

One of the difficult lessons we learn as we get older is that life has very few guarantees. The New Radicals would have us believe the simple formula that we get what we give, but all too often our efforts end in disappointment. We spend countless hours working to further our careers, yet promotions and [...]

I don’t travel a lot for business – maybe three to five times a year. When I do it’s usually for a new business pitch, client meetings or training sessions. Being a big guy it’s also an uncomfortable experience because honestly, who the heck can fit into those seats anyways? It’s also an uncomfortable experience [...]

Husbands, particularly fathers, can be a pretty gullible lot some days. We fall for the silly things: No matter how tired or late for work you are, the line “Daddy, wanna play catch?” will always stop us in our tracks; We won’t turn off “Field of Dreams” at the end; We’ll always choose pizza over [...]

Hands down, the best part of my day is coming home to see my kids. I feel like Elvis or the Beatles. No matter how busy the day was, how long the day was, how crappy the commute was, when I get home, it all gets washed away. With that in mind, I decided to [...]

For as long as I’ve known my wife, Deb, she’s worked with numbers but loved to bake. Over the past twenty years she’s gotten her degree in accounting, earned her CPA and started at her current company as a temp. Today, she’s the CFO. Her success has been great for her and our family in [...]
