Grocery Shopping Sucks
I hate grocery shopping!
Before you say “because you’re not good at it!”, that’s not why I hate it. I hate it for a lot of reasons.
One of which is that I’m not good at it.
Author: Dad and Buried
A fortyish dad dealing with the trials and tribulations of being a two-time father. And simultaneously learning to live without a social life. Like Elton John said, this thing's a circle. I'm getting used to it, but that doesn't mean I'm always happy about it.

Action Movie One-Liners for Every Parenting Scenario
One of the most annoying (according to my wife) and also best (according to me), is my habit of constantly quoting movies for no reason. I have seen a lot of movies and I remember a lot of lines from them, and I enjoy repeating them out loud, even when they have no relation to what is happening at the moment. It’s adorable (me) and infuriating (her).
So I’ve decided to make an effort to quote lines that do make sense in the moment, and to help me this endeavor, I’ve made a list of memorable lines from action movies that apply to everyday parenting situations.
You can use them too! You’re welcome.

Ten Years Gone
Today is my oldest son’s birthday.
It’s not always easy with Detective Munch. On top of the fact that he’s a lot like me, and – newsflash! – I am not always easy! (Shocking, I know.) He also has ADHD, as I’ve written about, and podcasted about, before. I still haven’t figured out how to parent through his ADHD, which is no surprise, as I also haven’t figured out how to parent, period, which doesn’t help.
But I’m trying. Years ago, I told you about the things that make Detective Munch so great. Today I’m going to tell him.

Parenting Sucks
The other day, some guy messaged me, all worried that my constant jokes about hating parenting aren’t jokes. He’s concerned that I truly hate being a dad.
And guess what? He’s right. I do hate it. It sucks!
It’s hard. It’s exhausting. It’s expensive. It’s stressful. It’s frustrating. It’s boring. It’s loud. It’s demanding. And I’m terrible at it.
What sane person enjoys an activity like that?

You may have noticed that I don’t blog as much these days. I have a lot going on, between my day job, my side jobs, my podcast, my social media empire, this quarantine, etc. I feel like I’m forgetting something… oh right, my wife has been self-isolating with COVID-19 symptoms for going on three weeks so my kids and I are stuck at home fending for ourselves.
