The Most Awesome Men's Entertainment Site On The Internet
Before my daughter was born, I thought I understood what fatherhood would look like.
I imagined birthday parties. Little League games. Teaching her to ride a bike. Helping with homework. Someday, impossibly far in the future, walking her down the aisle.
Those were the moments I pictured.
I thought I’d be able to sneak away and update the site today, but I
wildly overestimated how much free time I’d have. 😅
Turns out having a newborn means every plan is really just a suggestion.
I’ll be back at it as soon as I can. Thanks for your emails and for sticking with me!
Hey Everybody,
Just wanted to give you an update on my whereabouts for the past week. Me and my wife just had a baby! And so the site, sleep and sanity have taken a backseat to her. We recently got to a point where we can have some consistency in our schedules and I think I can resume updating again tomorrow! Thanks for your patience over the past week!

How do I raise kids who are kind, confident, and decent human beings? And behind that question is another one: How do I not screw this up?
Let’s start here: Parenting isn’t about making sure your kids have a perfect childhood. It’s about teaching them how to be strong, kind, and resilient adults.
I’m a Workforce Optimization Consultant. That’s the official title, anyway. Unofficially? I’m the guy companies bring in when they need to fire people—but don’t have the guts to do it themselves. It’s not glamorous. It’s not noble. But it’s honest work, and I’m good at it.

1. I had to call a plumber because a toilet float was busted and I couldn’t remove it no matter how hard I tried. They came and “found” all sorts of things “wrong” and quoted me almost $4k. A quick visit to Google and 1 phone-a-friend showed that they were full of sheet. I finally had to break the overflow tube to get it off but successfully replaced it for $15.
It was replacing whole toilet and completely (and unnecessarily) disassemble the bathroom and main drain (loo, sink, shower) to “bring it to code.”
How often do you find yourself frustrated because someone didn’t do what you wanted or respond the way you expected? Maybe your spouse didn’t pick up on the fact that you needed help with the dishes.
