This week I had a couple seeing me as a therapist state a very common problem for those in long term relationships: “We’ve been together for so long, we don’t know what to talk about. We already know everything about each other, or at least don’t know what new things we can discuss.” I’m a … [Read more...]
Are You Messed Up Like Me?
I’m a good person (arguably, a biased opinion), yet every now and then I get excited at the idea of ruining someone’s day. Ever have that? I don’t mean like slowing down because you don’t like how aggressive the person behind you is driving. That’s just a regular day. I also don’t mean ruining … [Read more...]
The Perfect Fight
After 11 years together, my wife and I finally had the perfect fight. My apologies if you are hoping for a description of a fight with brilliant Hollywood witticisms being tossed back and forth while clothes are chucked out the window with Michael Jackson’s Heal the World being sung in the … [Read more...]

Sure I have no practical experience as a parent, but why should that stop me from handing out my brilliant ideas. On the plus side, … [Read more...]
How to make a point & not start a fight
The other week a contractor friend was at my house doing some work with me. He had promised to come do some work on his day off because I had helped him earlier in the week on my day off. Unfortunately, when he arrived he was not his normal friendly self because his wife was angry with him – not a … [Read more...]
Today We Celebrate!
Easter is a day of celebration. For a Christian like me, the two greatest events in human history are Easter and my birth... I mean Jesus’ birth; He’s a little more important than me. Christmas celebrates the Son of God coming to Earth; if I was the Son of God I think I’d pass on that trip (me as … [Read more...]
