OK, I guess I've been living in a bubble until now. A friend let me pirate loaned me a copy of John...

Five Thanksgiving Days ago, Donna and I had a huge fight about money. I had, to that point, just let her manage our finances without much interference on my part. In fact, I had little idea about what our financial picture...

My brother-in-law is all set to come home from his two-year Mormon mission. Though he's not sure what lay in store for him as far as school, romance and employment are concerned, he has no fear.

...the...

Is there a word or term that describes the specific irony of widowing your wife and orphaning your children while doing something you are only doing for them in the first place? Something like say... falling off a ladder...

Donna and I scored some free tickets to a sporting event featuring our local National Basketball...

I know you're all a little tired of me bitching about Donna's garments. Too bad. This is my angst and I'll bitch if I want to.

I was surprised to wake up Sunday morning to the sound of the television. Not because...

My mother has a co-worker whose wife had a seizure and stopped breathing while 35 weeks pregnant almost 5 years ago. The baby was delivered in an emergency c-section and the wife, who was without oxygen for more that 20...

As the parents of four daughters (pick yourselves up, you heard me right... try to keep the karma comments to a minimum) Donna and I decided early on that we would need a less clinical term when referring to... ahem... a...

Sometime around midnight Donna and I heard a voice from the doorway of our bedroom, "Mom... Dad... hey..."

It was our twelve-year-old daughter, Megan. We hadn't noticed her come into the room as I had been busy...

Todd had been tired all week. His normally refreshing walk home from work had been leaving him exhausted lately. He was sure he was getting the flu. After a nap on the couch that afternoon he asked his brother to give him...

I have plenty to say today but I can't think of jack shit that wouldn't just be a rehash of the same stuff I already beat you over the head with. You know, "I hate my wife's underwear... I love beer and I miss it like a...

At my office, in the break room, there is a calendar. The calendar is there for employees to coordinate vacation days. The reason for this is obvious. If, through some unfortunate coincidence, all the women in the the...

I want to be careful about what I say about this next topic. Not because I worry about the sensibilities of my audience. My reservations stem from the fact that The Jinx is a scientifically proven phenomenon. At least it...

There's an old set of my scriptures sitting on the end table next to the couch in the family room of my grandparent's vacation home. I'm not sure exactly how they ended up there but last time Donna, the kids and I were up...

Some time ago I discovered the beauty of coffee in my life. I had always loved the smell but was sure I would share a busbench in hell with Richard Nixon if I ever dared drink it. Those days of ridiculous guilt about...

I have a personal chef. She is a fabulous chef. So good, in fact, that I would never want to eat a meal prepared by another. The food is the greatest.

There are some problems with my chef though. I have a favorite...

Gordon B. Hinckley today became the oldest man ever to be President of the LDS Church. He is 96 years...

Something happened yesterday that never happens. Donna and I found ourselves unexpectedly alone in the house. The kids were, one minute, clamoring about the house, the very next they all miraculously were gone. The stars...

If you're like me, and I pray to Gawd that you're not, you've been called an anti-Mormon. I was told recently that this site is "anti-everything I hold dear" by a friend who recently visited.

I am not anti-Mormon. I...
