Just a Guy Who Is Very Grateful
I might gripe about my sons not doing their chores or eating their vegetables, but I realize how truly lucky I am.Just a Guy Having the Sex Talk (with His Kids)
I remember when my dad had the "talk" with me. It was at a BBQ joint with sawdust on the floor. He talked mostly in euphemisms and I didn't really understand much at all. Not a great beginning, as I fumbled along for years to come.
Just a Guy Wanting His Sons to be Men
Does anyone remember when men were men -- when boys looked up to their fathers and other men and wanted to be just like them in their "manly ways"? Now, with elementary education completely hijacked by women, there's been a systematic change in how boys are educated and raised.
Just a Guy Frustrated With E-Mail
I completely love e-mail, as I dislike the phone -- cell or hard line. The thing that I keep on forgetting and can't seem to learn is that e-mail is not the same as direct dialogue.
Just a Guy Farting: Part Two
What is it about farting that is so funny ... to guys? One man tries to explain.
Just a Guy Talking about Women's (Sex) Parts
Another dirty little secret about men, but one that I'm sure is less a secret, is how lame, naïve, and uneducated we can be about how women's sexual parts work. And what WE have to do to take care of them.
Just a Guy Choosing Between Wife and Kids
The classic second marriage dilemma is the parent of the kids having to choose between his offspring and his spouse. Recently, I faced that problem times 10.
Just a Guy with a Lot of Screens (in His Life)
Screens, screens, screens. No, not the ones that keep out the flies, but the ones that are ubiquitous in our lives everywhere else.
Does Your Daughter Have 'DadHair'?
It is obvious when a dad does a kid's hair -- it has uneven parts and mismatched accessories. One dad has come up with a solution for dads who are hair-challenged. Check it out!
Just a Guy, Oscar, Living with Felix
Men are from Mars and women are from Venus -- especially when it comes to table etiquette, shopping habits ... and everything else.
Go See "The Boys Are Back" ... and Think
Be prepared: While it was a good film, it could definitely cause a debate between you and your spouse.
Just a Guy Feeling Left Out
My son is almost 16 and he now has a girlfriend. Evidently it's "official," as both have declared they're "in a relationship" on their Facebook pages. My wife and younger son say it's none of my business. I can't help it; I'm curious. Is this so wrong?
Just a Guy and His In-Laws
In-laws. They make movies about them. They write jokes about them. They make marriages more complicated. And I have them -- second time around. Much better, but still a challenge.Suddenly 15 Again, 40 Years after Woodstock
I just attended the Outside Land Music Festival in San Francisco, with my teen son and two of his female friends. It proved to be a rare opportunity to relive my youth, experience those feelings of excitement only a 15-year-old can feel, and vicariously share it all through their eyes and the excitement they radiated the entire time.
Just a Guy Wondering Who Comes First?
On a recent family trip to visit my wife's parents, a couple of incidents occurred that raised the question of "who comes first" -- friends, the kids, her parents, or me?Just a Guy Farting
OK, let's admit it. We guys tend to let loose with the occasional bodily "expression."
