I played hockey with Dwight’s hearing aid. He got really mad and put me in the penalty box.

Somehow, I thought I'd get through the holidays without a tipped tree.

The prime suspect is still at the scene of the crime.

A conversation with my wife at the car rental agency:

Me: “Let’s upgrade.”

Judy: “Um, no.”

Me: “You’re not helping my midlife crisis.”

Seth, the heir to the Boyum dynasty, quietly celebrated his birthday today.

I won’t tell you his age, but it’s the last year the Census Bureau considers you a young adult. Meanwhile, his sister dropped a hint by looking up the atomic number of selenium.

My son and I watched the first “Frankenstein” movie. Dr. Frankenstein should have checked Fritz’s references before hiring him.

This dapper gentleman wore a tuxedo on his second birthday.

Hugo and I have much in common. We have geographic names, we like laser pointers, and we're both feral.

But Hugo looks better in a tux than I do.

A ship carrying more than 50 Norwegians arrived in New York 200 years ago today, marking the beginning of a mass emigration.

The Restauration left Stavanger on July 4, 1825, carrying 52 people — a 53rd was in utero — before arriving Oct. 9.

Today is Leif Erikson Day, marking the first time undocumented immigrants arrived in North America.

Most historians most agree that Erikson’s crew were the first Europeans to set foot in Newfoundland.

This is the calm before the storm.

Soon after, Furricane Ollie ripped a pom pom from a scratching post and knocked over a picture frame.

My kids and I commemorated Batman Day with a weekend marathon of the Tim Burton-directed movies.

“A kiss can be even deadlier,” Bruce Wayne said, “if you mean it.” I’ll let you decide the context.

“You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.”

It defines my relationship with my son who took me to the 30th anniversary re-release of “Toy Story.” The movie holds up well after 30 years, even if I don’t.

NewDay Covenant Church in Rochester welcomed me to talk about a mission trip to Costa Rica.

Filter of Hope is overseeing the April 11-17, 2026, trip. If you’re curious, I will be happy to tell you all about it.

While celebrating our wedding anniversary, I told Judy that 39 is a perfect totient number.

“I don’t know how I lived my life without that information,” she said.

Indeed, that’s why she keeps me around.

The furry kids never miss their Neighbor Watch shift. Ollie’s attention span needs some work, though.

“Sketch” tells the story of Amber, a girl who works through her grief of losing her mother by drawing monsters.

This film magically addresses a relevant issue: One in 11 children in the U.S. will lose a parent or a sibling before they are 18.

Trixie vowed to make our house a vampire-free zone when she joined our family two months ago. On her 3rd birthday, I'm proud to announce there have been no vampire sightings.

Henceforth, she shall be known as Trixie the Vampire Slayer.

“True genius lies not in knowing all the answers, but in asking the right questions.”

Just seven performances are left for “The Half-Life of Marie Curie” at the Commonwealth Theater Company in Lanesboro. The play closes July 5.
