    Friday OT - Pack Rats

    I have a couple trips planned for the year and I've come to realize that my wife and I have vastly different packing goals. She'll make a list far in advance. She'll pack a pharmacy. She'll pack at least 1.5X more clothes than needed most times. She'd pack our mattress if she could. I'll...

    Friday OT - Lost Cause

    I'm pretty good with directions in general, but I've still had moments when I get off a quarter of a turn and can't get my bearing straight. Was there a time in your life where you were lost to a point of panic? Were you alone? How did you handle it?

    Blowouts happen in sports at every level. Having been on both sides as a sports fan and father, I generally tend to not enjoy them from a spectator standpoint as much as competitive games. However, there are certainly exceptions. What are you favorite/most hated blowout losses? Any level...

    Friday OT: Holiday hangover

    How long do you leave up your Christmas tree, decorations and/or lights? For lights, how long do you leave them on at night after Christmas? It seems like some neighborhoods shut it down almost immediately after Christmas, while others stay lit for weeks afterwards. I wondered if there was...

    Thankfully, there are other streaming services, but it still sucks a bit. We can watch the same 30 seconds over and over.

    Friday OT #2 - Maybe I'll Parent Better Next Year

    Did you bonk your kid's head on the ceiling throwing them in the air? Did you step on their favorite toy and break it? Did you back over their scooter in the driveway? Did you accidentally feed them pears even though they are allergic? Did you shrink their favorite sweatshirt? These completely...

    Teams that burn you in the NCAA Tournament

    What teams tend to destroy your bracket in your NCAA pools? "All of them" is the easy answer, but I seem to ride the fail train when picking Tennessee, Purdue, Gonzaga, Duke and every single Pac 12 team. Who has been your Achilles Heel for years?

    I Lost at the Spelling Be

    Since the Scripps Spelling Bee just came to its conclusion, I figured this was a good time to reopen old wounds. I can easily forget things that actually matter, but I will never forget the stupid words I missed at spelling bees when I was younger. I wanted to see if I was alone in my pain. I...
