Dueling Cheese. Sounds like what you’d get if KC and the Sunshine Band opened for the Captain and Tennille at a fondue supper club. On bellbottom jean night. In Cincinnati. With Tony Bennett as a special guest. Although that’d be friggin’ awesome (BTW, if even part of that ever happens, I’m all in), that’s not […]

My Perfect Date: SWM With a Strong Stomach and an Ironic Sense of Humor
Being divorced for almost a year now, I’ve been asked by more than one online dating website to try out their services for free and then document the resulting zany adventures on my blog. I’ve yet to take advantage of these anomalous, yet generous, offers. Not because I have an ethical standard that prohibits me […]
How You Know When A Guy’s Not Gay
We’ve all seen the infomercials for the Shake Weight. And if you haven’t, surely you’ve laughed at them when they show up in film clips on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno or The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. But if you’ve been living in a sewer for the past couple of years and don’t […]
Being Cynical Never Felt So Good
Cynical. The word itself sounds so…clinical. Like it’s a quantifiable form of behavior, even though there’s no specific unit of measurement for it. You can’t say, for example, “Wow, that person is so cynically overweight, her cynicism must be all the way up to 300 lbs. She needs to cut back on Fox News or […]
Bacon Grease Beauty Treatments
Okay, this tops it for me this week in the craziest things I’ve heard. A friend of mine (who shall remain nameless) says that if you add bacon grease to your bath water it helps keep your skin soft. Yes. You heard that right. Bacon grease. I tried to write a funny Facebook post about […]
Resolutions and Accountability
We are a week into the new year and I still haven’t come up with any 2013 resolutions for myself. Seems like every time I ask anyone about their New Year’s resolutions, I get the same stock answer; “I don’t believe in resolutions,” which is just a cop out. Personally I do believe in resolutions. […]
A Photobomb Christmas
As I was going through my email this weekend, thinning out all the junk that my spam filter somehow misses, I came across a hilarious Huffington Post Comedy blog called 25 LOL-Worthy Holiday Photobombs. Basically, these are what would have been nice, even downright poignant or sweet family photos if some buffoon hadn’t jumped into […]
How to Write an Award Winning Speech
The other day I did a radio interview by phone about all the Toastmasters competitions I’ve done in the last year. Everything was going swimmingly until the interviewer said, “I think what our listeners really want to know is how to write an award winning speech.” I sat there dumbfounded and thought, Come on, does […]
Mommy Bloggers on FirstRun.tv
Remember a while back when I told you I was auditioning for TV show about mommy bloggers? My news came to you by way of a blog post I wrote called My Run at FirstRun.tv, and included that video of my son, Quinn, juggling knives over my head. (That was actually part of my audition.) […]
Emergency Room Antics
Sometimes the best made plans turn to a rancid pot of day old, unrefrigerated chowder faster than you can say, “Wait, what just happened here?” I was going to post a blog yesterday showing my Toastmasters World Semi-final performance for the 2012 Toastmasters International Speech Contest, when all of a sudden I found myself wasting […]
