I wrote this because it is something I have thought about a lot. I wonder all the time why Punk (that is Mindy, my wife) picked me. I also think about the possibility of my daughters choosing a husband one day. So I came up with a possible criteria upon which my daughters can decide … Continue reading How to pick a husband

How to Get Things Done
Do you ever feel so busy and overwhelmed that you do not know where to start? You end up doing nothing because you cannot get your head around how big the projects in front of you are. There are many good books and videos out there to help you tackle this. But I thought I … Continue reading How to Get Things Done
Just the Guys
Tonight I get to hang out with Hud and Stef (my two boys, who are not really boys anymore) and despite the image for this post we are not actually eating pizza (which is the universal guys night food). Actually, Punk left us an amazing meal on the hob before she bolted. She takes good … Continue reading Just the Guys
Books: Man’s Best Friend
Friends can be the source of the worst advice you will ever get in your life. But they may just save your life. I guess the difference comes down to having, not friends, but good friends.

Snow (Done)
I married a lady who loves adventure. She has taught me a lot about how to experience exhilaration away from a computer screen. Now, I am not much for lengthy blogs, as you have probably noticed, but our last adventure was so memorable, I thought I would bring you along. The Clark Fam followed our … Continue reading Snow (Done)
Pretending
There are professing Christians who have a secret life. They have quietly constructed their private world. They sneak away and enjoy their choice sin. The rest of the time they play the part of a true believer. You have others who to this are a mirror. They believe, but it is a secret. They pretend … Continue reading Pretending
Productivity is a Sin
I need to lose weight. I should go with a low fat diet — no, low carb. I really want to learn a language and a musical instrument. I must foster a significant career and read a book a week. I really want lean body mass. I need to bulk up a bit. I should … Continue reading Productivity is a Sin
