My ride on the #despicablimp

There are things that I never knew I wanted to do until I was presented with the opportunity to do them. After being provided with the opportunity to ride the #despicablimp I knew that this would be one of those things. A. It’s a blimp, and the only time you ever see those things is at major sporting events. B. It’s a Despicalbimp in the shape of a Minion from Despicable Me.

It’s a blimp and a cartoon character. If they served bacon on the flight I would’ve signed up for anything to allow the experience not to end. Continue reading My ride on the #despicablimp

I’m OK with being called Mr. Mom- depending on who you are

Hi, my name is Trey and I’m a stay at home dad. During the day I care for an 18 month old and 3.5 year old. I get called Mr. Mom a couple of times a week and for the most part it doesn’t bother me. “Oh are doing the Mr. Mom today”, the cashier will innocently say. I’ll politely say, no, I do this full time, they’ll feel stupid and we’ll leave. Continue reading I’m OK with being called Mr. Mom- depending on who you are

Operation Storm is vivid, approachable history at its best

The Hunt for Red October is based on a true story. What if there was an even bigger story out there involving submarines; that is 100% true and would’ve altered the course of the world had things not happened? Imagine a super submarine, capable of carrying aircraft and that is a game changer. That is exactly what the Japanese built and had deployed just before WWII ended.

Mr. Joe: Tales from a Haunted Life is not spook-tacular

Mr. Joe is the true story about Joseph Barnett. Early in the book we learn that he sees the peaceful looking head of his recently deceased grandfather in a mirror; and then the apparition follows him down the stairs. However, this isn’t just about a man that sees ghosts, it’s about his life, background and the struggles that a single dad has.

Naptime DIY: Return of the Stinkhorn Mushrooms

Last summer stinkhorn mushrooms invaded our garden. Stinkhorn mushrooms are phallic shaped mushrooms that smell like rotting flesh. We killed them once, they came back and then, mercifully, winter came and killed everything in the garden. We saw traces of them a couple weeks ago and chose not to write about it. However, something happened that was so stealthy and insidious that it merits another mention. Continue reading Naptime DIY: Return of the Stinkhorn Mushrooms
