Was about to wash the bloke's jacket and decided to check his pockets. The joys of parenthood!

HEALTHY NEW START!

My interior decorator (aspiring) wife did a great job of picking out our new fridge. Being the smart husband I am, I stood clear of the selection process until I was requested to step in and nod my head in agreement. Now that our new fridge is all set for delivery, it’s my turn to step up and have some fun.

I am committing to filling our fridge with nothing but healthy clean foods… actually “nothing but” is kinda strong, lets just say our fridge will be the food storage equivalent of ivory soap “99.44%” pure. “Healthy” may be a bit of a stretch too, so Ill pledge to make sure the unhealthy stuff is at least “clean”. So if a brother buys some beef ribs, they will be from the farmers market, cut from a cow that lived all his long days eating grass and was butchered the day before my purchase.

Cool Dude, Cool Show

I may have been a little slow in discovering the Travel Channel’s gem “No Reservations” staring Anthony Bourdain, but that actually serves me well since every episode I see from the last four seasons is new to me. A writer, cook and all-around character, Mr Bourdain's narration and antics makes his show must see TV. I plan on picking up one of his books with the hope of enjoying it as much as I enjoy the show. Wow, did I just call a Travel Channel show “must see TV” smh. Check your local listings ;)

Lego Love

The bloke and I put on our construction hats and had at the Legos last-night for the first time. It was quite the experiencing. I really dread the day he tells me, "I want to do it myself daddy!" ... Until then, I will enjoy the bonding time with my favorite momma's boy (he periodically left me to go kiss his mommy's belly because she had a stomach ache).

Being prepared

We are living in a time of high unemployment and widespread corporate downsizing. It is scary to say the least. For those of us fortunate enough to still collect a steady paycheck, what are we doing to prepare ourselves for the possibility of job loss? My preparedness is pictured below & is obviously reactionary. Now that I managed to survive another round of layoffs , will I manage to get my act together?

All that glitters.....

Black Card, we had a good run, but now it's on to the Gold (with my government stamped on the card).

Diner days!

Northern va has a shortage of mom&pop diners. We tried one out a couple of weekends ago, and while it wasn't NY, it will serve as a suitable replacment until we make it up north.
