We took the boys to one of those places where they cook food, like, right in front of you. It was an awesome night… until Wyatt had a meltdown because I wouldn’t build a tent in their room before bed.

5 Things/Send To 10
Yay! I almost never get tagged in stuff like this. Thanks, braxius.
Okay, according to the instructions I’m supposed to say 5 (positive) things about myself, then tag 10 people to do the same… for themselves. They’re not supposed to say 5 things about me. That’d be awkward.
Anywho, here you go:
I’m a pretty amazing cook. Not like professional good, but I can wing it in the kitchen and create something pretty awesome. Evidence: I planned on making my wife a big breakfast-in-bed thing for Mother’s Day, then realized we were low on eggs. So, I concocted a breakfast pasta with sauce made from scratch. It turned out so awesome, I nearly broke my arm patting myself on the back.I got a promotion at work a little while ago and I’m super-stoked about it. I’m now producing two web series for Fox. And my boss offered me the job because he saw my Discussing News series. KABLAMO!
I have shapely calves.
I don’t feel like I really belong anywhere, but that’s not a bad thing. Though it used to stress me out, it actually feels kinda liberating.
I owe everything I have and everything I am to my family. My wife suggested I start this here Tumblr to write about being a dad to our boys. The blog led to some paying gigs, then a career in social media and a book deal, then a new job as a producer because of the web series I do with the boys. See? It’s all connected, man. And it’s incredible.
And for the 10 people, I’ll tag: kimlisagor, blastoffbabyboy, mammalingo, andimthedad, improvisingfatherhood, laughterkey, shuggilippo, ifjanetranit, lazydad, and taylorswift.

Fur Is The New Black
My father-in-law is visiting and he brought his dog Rico to play with our dog Lulu. We all went out to a movie and dinner and came home to find our front door wide open and the dogs gone.
Over the course of the panicked evening, we pieced together what happened:
There wasn’t a burglary. The door just didn’t lock all the way when we left.The dogs made their way to the neighborhood pool (no doubt, led there by Lulu looking for the boys).
They stumbled upon a bunch of people having a pool party and hung out with them for the majority of the night.
Rico even joined the younger party-goers in the pool.
They happily ate hotdogs and chips fed to them.
Some of the party folks took them door-to-door in the neighborhood looking for the owners, but never made it to our house. (And even if they had, they would’ve found an empty house with an open door.)
The party folks called animal control, who picked them up.
As animal control was taking them back to the lock-up, we were heading home. We probably passed the truck on the way.
All of the above info was discovered after we’d searched the whole neighborhood (Wyatt and I even scaled a fence to search the nearby golf course). The company that operates Lulu’s microchip called us and put us in touch with the local animal control, who were super-helpful.
So basically, Lulu and Rico snuck out at night, went to a party, and then got picked up by the cops. They spent the night in jail and we had to bail them out this morning. They are SO grounded!
You know what this means: With this scandal in her past, Lulu will never be able to run for office.

Happy birthday, Larissa. I love you more than stars. I got you a gift, but the boys broke it. That’s the story I’m sticking to, anyway.
