Take the Rape Survivor Survey

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

As I mentioned before, my baby is near completion on her doctoral work, but she could certainly use your help with the main component of her survey on the religiosity of rape survivors. Notice it’s not victims – they are survivors, and strong ones at that. The link for the survey is below, so pass [...]

Go Baby!

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

So my wife recently determined her internship site for the upcoming year, which is one of the signs that her doctoral program is near completion. To celebrate, I generally got drunk for the both of us this weekend since she does not drink, but nothing can inebriate my excitement for her or how proud of [...]

Wait Til’ The Midnight Hour

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Rarely do my wife and I fight. You might look at the entries of this blog and have the impression that’s it’s often enough to note, but it’s really not. Last night we had one that was totally on me. I don’t do enough house work. I’m a lazy bump on a log, I know. [...]

The Love Doctor is In

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

One benefit (or misfortune) of getting married is that you become a lightning rod for all questions and inquires about relationships and marriage. It’s not an everyday thing, but it’s not uncommon for friends to call me up and ask about communication techniques, conflict resolution, and where to take a date for good Italian food. [...]

My Friday Valentine

Friday, February 15th, 2008

The thing about being married to someone with a busy schedule while holding hone of your own, is that some holidays have to get pushed to the weekend zone. Such was the case on yesterday, as Valentine’s Day came with pizza ordered in, and conversations about the Oprah Show and having children. Our Valentine’s Day [...]

Voting Is A Family Affair

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

I live in Maryland, and despite my falling head over heels for the symbol of Black hope that is Barack Obama, I actually considered not voting in the state’s primary today. I figured, I’ve got a lot of stuff to do in the office, meetings tonight, and Obama has this thing sewn up tight. He [...]

An Ex-Rated Apology

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Lately, I’ve been thinking about my ex-girlfriends a lot. No, not in the way that you might be thinking or what’s common to see on television, but thinking about how happy I am versus how unhappy I made other people in my past. Youth, a lot of anger and little understanding on how to manage [...]

How My Wife Picked the Greatest Super Bowl Upset of All Time

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

It’s simple, really. She picked the New York Giants because she didn’t want cheaters to prosper. I have to admit, prior to the information coming out about the New England Patriots possibly cheating as far back as 2002, I wanted to see the Patriots go undefeated on the season. Partially because its a once in [...]

Just Throw Some Hot Sauce On It

Friday, February 1st, 2008

In a way, a marriage is like your favorite food. It’s a timeless classic that gets you by whether you are celebrating or commiserating. All you usually have to do is get up, get out, and go get some of the good stuff. But you ever had the feeling of getting amped up to get [...]
