Growing up Rudy the Rabbit, win a 55′ LG TV and the #BigGameChallenge

In summer after the sixth grade I was still looking for a sport to play. One day while playing neighborhood football I caught a kick off and ran for a touchdown. This was now my game. I lifted hard that summer, drank raw eggs and exercised lots but didn’t play football oddly enough. Late that summer I played football again. I caught the ball, ran and got hit-hit hard. It may not have been a hard hit, but it was enough for me to realize that I didn’t like getting hit and needed to find another sport. Thankfully at that time a young upstart comedian was in a movie called Meatballs that would show me the sport that would define my teen years.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey bring Built to Amaze! to Atlanta Feb., 5-17

I was provided with a family 4-pack of ticket in exchange for this posting. All thoughts are our own. Elephants are really cool, so are tigers, lions and bears. It was on the way out of the last Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey show that our 3 year old said, ‘can we go back to the circus tomorrow’? Ah, children and their concept of time, it’s precious. However, in real world time I knew it would be a year before they came back and we’ll see how interested he is then.

Instructions Not Included review: A mish mash that works in spite of itself

Instructions Not Included is a Spanish film that was originally released under the title No se aceptan devoluciones. It’s an updated version of Kramer vs. Kramer, but played for laughs and with one of the main characters having a terminal illness. What is surprising is that, even with this plot, Instructions Not Included works out to be an entertaining, at times laugh out loud movie.

The Nut Job review: above average animal nuttiness kids will enjoy

The Nut Job is an animated movie about a squirrel that needs to steal some nuts so that he and his friends can eat for the winter. There are some plot curve balls, but at its core, that’s what the movie is about. It’s better than the preview, features the always likable Will Arnet and Liam Neeson among others, and is worth seeing for a couple of reasons.

The 2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition review

When they dropped off the 2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition for me to test drive I was immediately taken back by how big and red it was. Granted the red will vary, especially if yours is a different color. The size, however, will remain the same and it’s a big full size truck. “Wow, it’s like a TARDIS”, I said to the person dropping off the truck.

Bon Jovi will be my son’s Led Zeppelin

I grew up in the 70’s. I’ll save the What’s Happening jokes and Evel Knievel references for another post and keep this solely about the mystery and romance of radio. During that time radio and basement listening, just like in That’ 70’s Show was the only way to get music. Music didn’t get any better for the rock set than Led Zeppelin. The other day I was driving, rocking out with the kids when I realized that Bon Jovi will be my son’s Led Zeppelin.

We cut cable in 2012. Because of that there are dozens, if not hundreds of shows I had no idea that exist. Witness Chuck & Friends, we have the toy and it’s awesome. But wait they have a TV show too? We were sent The Adventures of Chuck & Friends: Trucks Versus Wild on DVD for a test drive and our kids loved it and I found it quite cute too.
