So, You Wanna Be A Tough Guy, Huh?

I don’t know if you heard, but we went to Moab recently. After a detour that never should have happened, we decided to make the best of it and hit up a pretty cool place that I can’t remember the name of now. Needless to say, it had lots of cliffs and sheer drops and …

BackPack Joy Lasts About As Long As It Took To Take This Picture

The previous post gave away the huge-mongous spoiler we went to Moab, so now that the cat’s out of the bag, here comes the photographic deluge. I don’t know that it was ever a real secret but when you operate all clandestinely because of fame and notoriety, you need some time to gather your thoughts …

We Went To Moab. One of Us Ran.

“There is a sick high in pushing your body beyond what you “think” you can!!!”
— Lady-Friend, 2011
So you know my [insert gushing/fawning adjective here] Lady-Friend likes to run. Not a “Hey, I enjoy a leisurely jog around the block” kind of run– I’m talking “Wow, this shearing pain up my leg feels terrible but …

1 going on 16

At 16 years old my ear was either connected to a headset, a phone or a pillow. My broke-as-a-joke-thanks-to-crushing-long-distance-bills parents would tell you it was mostly the phone… you know, back when they had all the wires. I’d stretch that cord from one side of the house to another in search of privacy and a …

Quotables: Little Dude and The Leg Guns

Unfortunately for our kids, Vintonville is kind of slim on the sweet treats and desserts. And while that’s good for Mama and Papa’s physique, it’s not good for the sweet tooth. Still, Lady-Friend and I usually whip up a few treats for the kids and enjoy a protein shake/bars for our “treat”. When …

Nutella’s GOOD

Not that I’d know anything about it considering I’m enjoying a diet of straight tastelessness.
But Little Sis… Little Sis knows EVERYTHING about it.

And, unfortunately, we now know EVERYTHING about trying to take it away…

…Yaaaaaay Nutella!

And I Think To Myself… What a Wonderful World

Sometimes, images inspire emotions and gratitude that can’t really be put to words. Seeing these pictures taken from the International Space Station, well,  I think they pretty much speak for themselves without me getting in the way.

Thanks, Daily Mail.

Can I Get A Hallelujah?

Fall is putting up a valiant fight, but is quickly getting a beat down by an oncoming winter. I know this because winter’s legion of viral minions are wreaking havoc on immune systems and toilet bowls across the land. I’m at Defcon 1 (IE- “Cocked Pistol”) and have, in addition to the protein shakes I …

Quotables: Little Dude and the Worstest Days Ever

Another installment of the ongoing adventures in the lexicon wonderland of Little Dude Vinton. NOTE: Quotables has been MIA since May. In the months since, Little Dude has grown a beard, moved out and now owns his own Social Media upstart somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
