Unintelligent Design
“Intelligent Design” is such a steaming pile of horse shit — every time some dumbass says it, part of me wants to hit them in the head with a shovel.

I've been a journalist, teacher, instructional designer, project manager, product manager, business guy... Veteran of the married life for 30-something years. Sort of helped raise one boy to be decent adult. Here to spread my bullshit and read what others have to say.
On (Re)Writing Pretty Woman
Originally posted on Stephen Metcalfe:
To this day, people often ask me why my name doesn’t appear in the credits of the film, Pretty Woman, on which I did a lot of work. It’s a long story and it’s a short story. The long one first, at least…
Fat Biker Problems
Everybody else loses weight when they ride a bike. Not me. I’ve ridden more than 35,000 miles since 2010, and I just keep getting fatter and fatter.
Voting to end voting
The polls before today’s election are baffling to me. Why are so many people voting for fascism?
Fuck Quiet Tennis
I love playing tennis, but I only “tolerate” watching it. I’d love to be a fan, if I could scream obscenities, dress up like an idiot and bring in…
Had enough
You know you have had enough of a long weekend party with the Pendejos when it’s Sunday and…
Broke ass Boy
A month before his wedding, my son took 15 of his best friends on a bachelor party trip that included surfing in San Diego and at least one day trip to Tijuana.
Political investments
I’d be willing to put more into political campaigns, if I had any idea how my money would help.
Notes on a Son — Stephen Metcalfe
I stole this from Stephen Metcalfe…
When my son was sixteen years old, he did the Shark Fest Swim. Alcatraz to the wharves of San Francisco. One and half miles in cold, turbulent, shark infested water. I shivered and quaked at the thought.
Head Case
I was denied summer camp as a child. I skipped the college dorm life. For a few years, I filled the camp/dorm fake nostalgia with Newks tennis camp.
Bicycle repair man
For 10 years of cycling, my mantra was always: “I don’t want to fix my bike, I just want to ride it.”

Old wedding
Recently, I got a new taste for what they mean by Sweet Home Chicago.
Urgent Problem – Update
I missed the Lewis Black show in Phoenix for 2022. But here’s a reminder of a happier time, (2018) when I made the show and he read my little joke… with video.
“Our Story” — rewrite from the groom’s father
Fucking weddings have gotten even more complicated. Now you have to have a website with invitations, RSVP’s, maps, shit to do, the mandatory shopping lists (registry) and the obligatory “Our Story.”
Somehow it became my job to review my son’s website and send him feedback and corrections (thanks to the project management skills of the wife). Mostly around “Our Story,” because his story is not as good as his cousin’s (who just got married Sept. 29).
