Airing of My Grievances Regarding Children’s...
I live with two little people. My son, Tyler (9) and daughter, Emily (nearly 2). As a result, the televisions in my home are frequently hijacked by these people. Over the years I’ve developed a list of concerns - grievances if you will - about some of the shows.

Now don’t get me wrong Arnel - you sounded great - dead...

Absolute Truths
Absolute Truths There are a few things in my life that are absolute truths (or ATs as I will call them cause I’m a lazy typer). Now these ATs are natural phenomenon that often make me believe I am clairvoyant, lucky or cursed - take your pick.

6 REASONS TO APPRECIATE WINTER
“Every Rose Has It’s Thorn” - Bret Michaels never sang truer words. As February ushers in yet another cold month in Michigan many Detroiter’s are dreading more of old man winter. It’s been a long hard winter and we’re feeling a bit defeated. There are, however, a few reasons I appreciate the cold. As a person that does not enjoy winter sports I really had...
