It is always amazing to me what people will lie about. As a parent, I have heard my share of fibs and I always find myself thinking, “Why did you choose to bend the truth here when reality was a non-punishable crime? The lie was actually worse.” We don’t get any smarter as adults. Early

There’s a Bud Light advertising campaign based around the idea of sports superstitions, with the tag line, “It’s only weird if it doesn’t work.” In one commercial, a 49er’s fan returns to his old apartment to sit in the same spot he was in when the team one a Superbowl. There’s another commercial where fans

Joe A. and I both posted this week on our beloved Seattle Seahawks. As they prepare for the Super Bowl the main question on most peoples minds this week will be, how is Belichick going to try to cheat. Well, I personally think it will be a great game and all the footballs will be

The football jersey I’ve always wanted is a Sonny Sixkiller, University of Washington jersey with the huge old style 6 on it. I have never seen one, and haven’t had a football jersey until recently because of it. I have followed the Seattle Mariners for years. I was a big Alvin Davis fan and once

I’m hoarse and exhausted after watching the Seahawks amazing come from behind win in the NFC Championship. So here’s a quick blog explaining some of the sayings surrounding the Seahawks.

Early on in my marriage, I worked full time and my wife worked part time. She did most of the housework in this arrangement including cooking. When my wife’s job became full time, I still did very little housework, and it took me a while to realize how irritated she was with me. Guys are

Something I noticed at a few of my kid’s wrestling tournaments is that there is at least one girl on every team, most have more than one. As a doting father, I’ve had lots of time to sit in the stands killing time watching other matches and sitting next to various high school teams. I

Joe A. and I have always been drawn to excellent cartoons and comics. The people behind the pencil have always brought excitement and laughter into our lives. This makes what happened in France this week make even less sense than most extremist actions. Anyway, I saw this tribute and thought I would post. When you

So I was sitting at work prior to my anniversary thinking about what I should get my wife. I work in the Federal government and as it was the end of the year and no one was around, I was pretty bored. I wondered what anniversary theme was associated with the 27th, and clicked on

Here are some of my favorite Matt W blogs from 2014. In not particular order. Hey Home Skillet: You ruined it, didn’t you? Nope, I Still Don’t Believe You: I think all parents experience this. Driving On Fumes: The fact that you do it on purpose if hilarious to me. Honey, When You Die: I’m

Another year has gone by. For some reason this comic made me laugh. I think it has something to do with Commissioner Gordon, but I’m not sure. Have a great 2015.
