Matt’s Book Taggage

This isn’t the type of post I have alot of fun with, but its tough to ignore your wife’s tag when you live with her – ya know?  BTW, I’m gonna avoid the use of ‘Bible’ on my list.

1. A book that changed your life:
* DSM IV – (Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders).  Compulsory text in school and [...]

Jump in my bed!

If only you could jump in my bed, you would experience bliss beyond human understanding.

So far this year I have spent 30 nights in Marriott hotels.  I have eaten every single thing on the menu at least four times (the phrase ‘buttermilk chicken’ makes me gag).  I can work Marriott TV remotes in the dark.  I know DC clothes [...]

Dinner tonight…

…a piece of chocolate cake.

Okay, that’s not entirely true…two pieces of chocolate cake.

There’s this unwritten rule that most of you married people can attest to.  If you’re going to get in a fight it has to be a) on your way to church or b) an hour before one of you leaves for a week.  Today we hit the jack pot…we got in a fight on our [...]

There is a Time for Everything

King Solomon, in his wisdom, declared that there is a time for everything.  Evidently, there is a time in every little boy’s life when he realizes that everyone’s favorite character, Pooh, sounds just like poo-poo.  If you’re two- and three-years old this is a hysterical discovery that demands your mom’s undivided attention for no less than [...]

Mom’s Not Looking!!!

Today I was pretty busy on the computer…paying bills, checking emails, looking over information for an interview I had…you know, important stuff.  The kids were relatively quiet (but not too quiet as to give themselves away) so I thought all was well.  Adam asked me if he could use something as “a vine for Tarzan.”  [...]

Wham!

Have you ever eaten a steak from Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse?  If you haven’t then your not maximizing your time on earth. 

I’m in Valley Forge on travel all this week, so I console myself with Ruth’s Chris in the absence of my wife and boys.  The other day as I was wrapping up work I ordered [...]

The Perfect Blog

We all have a long list of blogs we check.  We all have our favorite types also - whats yours?  Themed?  Long?  Short?  Real-life?  Humor?  Here are some examples from a few of our friends to kick things off.

Short, sweet, random and often:  This is Orange Jack’s approach.  Its like going to a pot luck: you can always [...]

Happy Birthday, Pops!

Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Pain and sorrow in the air.
People dying everywhere.
Happy Birthday

I hope you have a great day digging around in the garden.  Not a way I would spend my birthday, but if it makes you happy.  :)  

I love you!!!!

     

Books! Books! Books!

My sister-in-law, Rinnie, “tagged” me to answer some questions about books.  I think since January I’ve read 30-40 books.  I love to read anything from spiritual emphasis, to WWII-based, to fantasy and sci-fi, to murder mysteries.  So, I’ll attempt to answer these questions.

1. A book that changed your life:
* The Bible (of course!)  I know [...]
