In a small town in Arkansas, there is a group of teams called the Tigers. They play for my pseudo-childhood-hometown Prairie Grove. They have had a rivalry since before anyone can remember with a nearby town, Farmington (I know, even I can’t believe how redneck it is that our biggest rival was a town called
This weekend, Facebook announced a new feature: over 50 gender options are now available for your profile. Everything from binary genders (male and female) to pan-gender. Yay for social progress! A friend shared a link, and got some interesting responses. Here is the conversation. Yes, the image is weird. I had a hard time making
I know, rookie mistake. Most modern adults know that using the Internet to figure out what’s wrong with your body is a fast-track to a false belief that one has cancer. That being said, I’ve had some surprisingly strange symptoms in my feet over the last couple of days. Mostly, I can’t keep them warm.
For a variety of reasons, Jenny and I left the engagement ring out in the cold. Mostly this was because spending a lot of money on a ring she’d probably not wear just didn’t seem like a good idea. Also, I proposed a bit spontaneously. In the end, we’ve spent a large amount of time

Over the last several years, I’ve been writing two series of fiction books, along with my series of non-fiction books on mental and behavioral health. I’m quickly reaching a point where I have to prioritize which books I think will be published quickly, and for a reasonable contract. It’s mind-bogglingly difficult to decide which of
When we first got our kittens, we decided to try bathing them while they were young, so they could tolerate water. For Lavinius, this was a disaster. Dude was ready to stab someone with a fork. That didn’t last long at all. With Ezra, though, it was a totally different story. We bathed him 5-8
Jenny and I have our ups and downs with food. We like different things, and the kids have their preferences too. This is usually not a huge problem, because we are all willing to try new things. Except the Boy. More than half the time, he just goes straight for the PB&J. Tonight, we tried
I’m having such a good laugh over the Sochi Problems.
