Here’s one sure-fire way to know if your spouse is stressed out. Check your own heart rate.

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

I have to admit, I did become a fan of ‘Sex and the City’ before I met my wife, but the debates about the show’s themes were not as poignant or as meaningful before her. The movie debuts tomorrow, and while I would prefer that my wife make it a girls night out event, I’ll [...]

Considering that I’m not the decorator in this relationship, I hope you all enjoy the new look of the site. I know it’s not flashy, but it’s a nice change of pace and should suit what I’m trying to accomplish. I’m sure my wife will be thrilled when she sees this three months from now.

If you are lucky, you can find a woman who doesn’t mind watching sports, especially when it comes to football. Of all the reasons why I think I’m the luckiest man in the world, in the top 25 easily is the fact that my wife is in to and intuitive about football. The only problem [...]

Six Months In

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Today is the six-month anniversary of my wedding day, and it doesn’t even seem like it’s been six weeks. Amongst all of laughter, good times, and house buying, it seemed more like an extended game of Monopoly than the beginning of the rest of my life. I have to say, the great times have far [...]
