Read the Classics in under a minute….

None of the following books are original with me, they are much too funny. My Father in law told me about this website that has reduced all of the literature classics to about a minute long. They are hysterical. Here are some of my favorites:
THE LORD OF THE RINGS:
The Fellowship of the Rings
Gandalf
Bilbo Baggins, [...]

Why my Zoo is dumb (and yet I still like it)

Ok, some one at the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines must have been smoking something. This summer’s big exhibit, that has been stated as being “the best thing to come to Iowa in a long time”, is a lovely exhibit on poop. That’s right. Animal poop. In fact, there is a huge exhibit on [...]

Fatherhood: I have it all figured out.

I love being a Dad. I just wish I was better at it. Actually, I wish I knew what I was doing. I wish that whenever a situation came up that I didn’t know what to do or how to handle it, I could just pause time, consult my Fatherhood for Dummies book, and then [...]

My Father’s Day

Yesterday was Father’s Day, and I celebrated it the whole weekend. Since I am in charge (sort of) at my job, I decided to work some extra hours the previous weekend, so I could have a nice 3 day weekend for father’s day. The best laid plans of mice and men….
Thursday night, the boys and I [...]

A Mid-Summer’s Night Balrog

I finished the book “The Children of Hurin” yesterday, and overall I found it to be pretty good. It certainly wasn’t Tolkien’s best work, but it had its moments. However, this is not a book to read if you are looking for a chuckle. This is also not a book to read if you are [...]

Coffee: Addendum

For those of you who were spiritually blessed by my most excellent blog yesterday, I found the text to the poem “In Praise of Coffee” which has a line from it as my quote of the week. I also found the libretto (the text) to the Coffee Cantata by JS Bach. If you are interested, [...]
