In this collection of essays, humorist Kevin Cummings takes on all aspects of modern domesticity including:

Marriage -- Becoming a husband brings with it a whole bunch of new responsibilities. First of all, I became Defender of My Bride and Slayer of All Things That Scuttle or Crawl.

School Plays -- Nothing says entertainment excellence like two dozen nervous second graders wandering aimlessly in the front of the classroom mumbling their way through half-remembered lyrics accompanied by an out-of-tune piano.

Home Repairs -- I follow a simple rule for safe living; I never enter a home where I have performed any maintenance work on the plumbing or electrical systems.

Join Kevin for 54 slices of his life that might just give you a new appreciation for being Happily Domesticated!
