In marriages that work
The husband and wife
Don’t treat each other like jerks
The best way to avoid a spat
Is to remain quiet
And never chat
A juggling technophile shares personal stories, challenges, humor and perhaps some political commentary.

Evan and I just returned from our first camping trip to the Cosby Campground in the GSMNP. Greenbrier used to be my hideaway in the Smokies and is still one of my favorite spots. Cosby is on the Greenbrier side of the mountains and was a wonderful experience! Our scouts, their parents, their support, our pack, its support, the attitudes, the adventures and the weather were all great…better…they were perfect! This is one of those father/son bonding experiences that had so many precious moments that this trip will always hold a special place in my heart.
Student: Why are better choices easily seen after you’ve made the wrong ones?
Master: Why make the wrong choice in the first place?
The trouble is that by the time you are done with your 2nd and 3rd job, you are too tired to do all those things you want to do with the family.
Me: "Who picked their nose and put boogers on the wall?"
Blushing child: "I sneezed."

Totally awesome! 303 views right now. I predict one million views by Thursday.
In hindsight, it all could have been done a little differently.
It’s no secret that I want to be that tv dad…you know, Bill Cosby or Tim Allen or the like. I successfully channeled Alan Shure for a while. I think I’m maturing to be more like the dad in Modern Family. Truth be told, I’m much more like Red from That 70s Show. When you have teenagers and pets the words "hey dumbass" roll off the tongue so naturally.
So, I suppose I’ve achieved tv dad status after all…just not the one I had hoped to be.
On the political scene, Sarah Palin posted on Facebook:
If [President Obama] doesn’t have a ‘big stick’ to carry, maybe it’s time for him to grow one.
She does know he’s a black man doesn’t she?
