A Letter to Every Frustrated Parent (From the Future) and more...
A Letter to Every Frustrated Parent (From the Future)Hey handsome! It’s me -- well, I mean it’s you, but from 25 years in the future. That’s right. I’m sitting here on my hoverchair, typing this letter on my iPad 13 (though it looks like a piece of paper and you can fold it up and carry it in your pocket). I’ve been thinking a lot about you lately and wanted to tell you something important. But before I...
OMG, Stop Sniffling And Use a Tissue! (The Symphony of {Sniffs}) There are many annoying sounds in this world—road construction at 7 in the morning, most cell phone ringtones, Caillou—but none compare with the Symphony of {sniffs} that overtakes our house every winter during flu season.

But it is the story of a boy who fell in...
How The 100th Day of School Aged My Daughter 94 Years Today is my wife’s birthday, which means, if my arithmetic is correct, she’s turning one year older than she turned last year. Oddly enough, both years she turned 29. And the year before that she turned 29 too. She must use that new wave math that politicians use when creating budgets. Either way, happy birthday to my beautiful wife, who is smarter than I am, funnier than...
