    Come up soon, I will be a guest on the “Mommy Has Questions” podcast. I took part in the hosts’ conversation about “men in crisis,” as well as a few other topics. Take a minute and check them out, and when the episode lands, I will post the link.

  • ODDS and ENDS: Sleepy, Stuffy, and the Difference Between Avenues and Streets

    ODDS and ENDS: Sleepy, Stuffy, and the Difference Between Avenues and Streets

    (And who thought this was a good idea?!)

    I can’t get enough sleep. I’m not saying that I have a medical condition, or anything to be alarmed about. No, this more has to do with getting older, my body needs more sleep, but I still have a lot of shit to do. Sure, I could go to bed earlier, I mean any idiot could do that, but this feels more like being thirsty. No matter how much I drink, I’m still thirsty. No matter how much I sleep, I just want to sleep more. That’s what I want; not that my body agrees with that, because my body will wake me up somewhere between 5:30 and 6am. That is rather annoying. But even when this happens, and even if I get eight hours of sleep. I’m still tired and I want to sleep more. This is also why I am a fan of, and take naps daily.

    All our noses are stuffed up. The wife and the kid are getting over a cold, so that makes sense. Me? I just I have a sympathy stuffed up nose. When the wife was pregnant and was eating for two, I also eat for two. I easily put on ten pounds. I guess it could be the same thing.

    For those of you who don’t live in New York City, and specifically Manhattan, streets run east to west, and avenues run north to south. Also, the space between avenues is much longer as compared to streets which is much shorter. Just so you know. And please, if you are a tourist, remember this when you come and visit the City.

  • ODDS and ENDS: Cubs, Coats, and Coffee

    (I’m on time homie that’s how it goes…)

    The Cubs lost and I didn’t watch the game. IN a sense, that does make me feel like I didn’t have some sort of supernatural pull on the team. Actually, the real reason I didn’t watch them was I had plans with my kid. BUT… I do know what this feels like; to have to say “we’ll get ’em next year.” and how “next year” will be a rebuilding year – again.

    Sweater weather? Oh, I do love my sweaters and sweatshirts. In fact, I think it might be time to refresh some of my sweaters. But for me, this is coat season. Or maybe jacket weather? Either way, having a nice coat for this chilly time of year does give me a deep satisfying feeling. I got my army coat, and workman’s coat. There is my thin puffer, and there are the blazers that I have as well. You know, a good coat completes an outfit.

    I have a love and happiness relationship with coffee. That’s all. I just really love coffee. The smell of it, and brewing it, and the first cup of the day, and a late afternoon sip.
