After I-have-no-idea-how-many decades, Arkansas State University is changing its mascot.
ASU has been known as The Indians for longer than I can remember and nobody has ever complained about it. All that changed a few months ago when somebody at the NCAA decided that the name “Indians” was disrespectful to “Native Americans”. I would be […]

Got a call from Daughter Number One this evening. She’s talking about changing her major. When she first enrolled in college, she was all gung-ho about having a phys. ed. major with a history minor so she could become a track coach / teacher.
She’s starting to realize that college isn’t like high school. […]

I know most people would probably say that this is still a little early, but our house is already beginning to fill up with Christmas gifts. According to my wife, we got a late start this year. Usually, she starts searching the internet for Christmas gift ideas around July.
Since the gifts are beginning to arrive […]

It seems that almost everyone I see these days reminds me of someone else I’ve seen somewhere, so, in order to prove to the world that there is, in fact, a resemblance, I’m starting this category of postings called “Separated At Birth”

I’m only now feeling like I might actually survive the ordeal. (Note to self: Schedule […]

I ran into this last night and, when I finished snickering, I decided that I just had to put it here to see how long it took my daughters to find it.
Daughter Number Two has had Spanish in high school and spent some time trying to teach it to Daughter Number Four. The end result […]

Just in time for Christmas, for the Geek who has everything: Wedgie-proof underwear! When the would-be wedgie-giver yanks on these shorts, they come apart in his hand!
On second thought, that cant me any less uncomfortable than an actual wedgie, could it?
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Wedgie-proof underwear earned 8-year-old twin boys a spot Friday on “The […]

I had a conversation today with my eighth-grade daughter about what she’s (not) being taught in school. I, at some point, pulled out the “When I was your age” cliche’ and dusted it off so I could tell her about one of my favorite Saturday morning features - School House Rock.
I used to really enjoy […]
