It’s About Time!

Thought I should get back to this. Spent the last couple of weeks taking care of my wife after her surgery, so this was on the back burner.
My thought for the day is this…thank God I’m a man.
I do not mean anything sexist by that statement. All I do mean is this: Thank God I [...]

TIVO and DVR’s…The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread!

I’ve always touted the greatness of DVR’s (Digital Video Recorders). But, until Shannon’s surgery yesterday, I never knew just how great!
First, the bad news…We watch alot of TV. I mean alot. If we watch less than 50 hours per week, I would be surprised. So, needless to say, when something pops up like a surgery, [...]

Tough Moment

I generally try to be jovial in these posts, but right now my wife is in surgery.
It’s nothing serious…although all surgery should be taken seriously. It’s, as us men would say, “woman’s stuff.”
We’ve been married for 12 years, and neither one of us has had any surgery before, so this is a different sensation. The [...]

Reliving a Cereal Childhood

I was a pretty conservative little kid growing up.
I didn’t climb trees or fences. I made my friends sit through the credits at the end of movies. I thought it was a good idea to leave for school early to see if there was anything the teacher needed help with before class. I loved classical [...]

LifePointe Media Guy Ponders 42

Today, I am 42. Do you know what the signifigance of 42 is?
According to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a race of vast pan-dimensional hyper-intelligent beings constructed the second greatest computer in all of time and space, Deep Thought, to calculate The Ultimate Answer to The Great Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. [...]

The Numbers are In!

The people have spoken…I will be a Speedo model in my next job! I’m shaving my legs as I write. Wait…I don’t have to shave? Oh well…
Now, on a more morbid note, if it was your last meal, what would you choose? Let us know on the new poll to the right.

Fightin’ Irish, Bengals and other Disappointments

Yesterday was the frosting on a very bitter cake.
With hope all but waining, the Bengals only had to beat the dirty cheating Steelers in order to keep playoff hopes slimly alive. But, alas, one victory in my weekend was too much too ask. By the end of the pitiful game, the Steeler faithfull were waving [...]

LifePointe and U.S. Ain’t So Bad, After all…

Anyone who claims Christianity has to many rigid rules is, with all due respect, nuts!
Has anyone been following the case in the Sudan of the British school teacher who let her class name their Teddy Bear mascott? The kids chose “Muhammed” (after a popular student in class), and subsequently, the teacher was arrested for “insulting” [...]

LifePointe Media Guy Mourns Evel

Evel Knievel was everything that was the 70’s.
He was daring. He was fearless. He was foolish. He was the definition of excess.
Now, he is dead.
He was a symbol of what was great about this country. Danger. Fearlessness. All out showmanship.
He was what boys wanted to be.
He was what girls dreamed of.
He was Evel.
If you were [...]
