Men in Black is Back

Men In Black International is now available on Blu-Ray and Sony has teamed up with Budsies to help spread the word.  I was sent the following promotional material for free to help out.  I’m sure you’re all familiar with the Men in Black: the black suit wearing, mind erasing, alien fighting, secret group that protects the Earth from the scum of the universe, but you might not have heard of Budsies.  Continue reading Men in Black is Back

From Lazy to Dapper in 4 Drops

Man oh man, things have been tough lately. I don’t really know why but they have. Ok, well, I do know why they’ve been tough. It’s because we have 5 kids. But when I say “things have been tough” what I really mean is “tougher than our normal baseline tough.”

There is always something to do for school, something to do around the house, around the yard, some event to get to, some birthday party etc. etc. multiplied by 5.

I have one more HUGE favor to ask you, to beg you for. Continue reading I could use a little help

There’s just something about a dad and his little girl

Four years ago on October 20, 2012 I was where I am many Saturdays in the fall, in The Swamp, watching the Florida Gators play football. We were playing South Carolina and it was an important conference game. The Gators were doing well. With about 3 minutes to go in the first half, I got a text from my wife. It read: “I’m going into labor, I’m headed to the hospital now.”  Continue reading There’s just something about a dad and his little girl

Hurricanes Will Refocus Your Priorities

There is nothing like a life-threatening category 4 hurricane barreling down on you to make you rethink what you value as important. Unless you were in a coma last week or a foreign country, you are likely aware that a massive hurricane named Matthew was projected to rip through the Caribbean and ride the coastline of the United States from the southern tip of Florida all the way up to North Carolina.
