I think about many things while washing dishes every night. Requiring as it does a few moments of undisturbed attention in the otherwise a hectic after-work routine of making dinner, cleaning up, playing with the kids, bathing them, and wrestling them into bed, it’s a good time for thinking. Most of what I think about … Continue reading Better than My Own
Everything My Wife Hates about Me
I’ve noticed that articles of wives complaining about their husbands have been gaining in popularity, with some going viral, so I figured I’d save Christine the terrible hassle of listing all of my faults, writing an article about them, and publishing it in a national newspaper (or instagram) and do it myself.

It can wait until 30 minutes before she gets back. Go to bed? Might as well let the kids stay up so they fall asleep faster. Do … Continue reading When Mama’s Away…
Taking Care of Papa Bird
Read the first part here: Taking Care of Mama Bird Cardinals mate for life. The male collects sticks for the nest, gathers food for the female, feeding her beak-to-beak, and occasionally even sits on the nest. Sometimes they sing to each other. I had no idea. I’ve never seen the male sitting on the nest … Continue reading Taking Care of Papa Bird
