Rob Reads: Men After Divorce: In Touch With Feelings – ABC News

This is a somewhat cliched "men have feelings" piece, but I was fascinated to hear that nearly in nearly two-thirds of American divorces, it is the wife who files.

Rob Reviews: Heaven is For Real

DVD art. Earlier this week, I saw Heaven is For Real. I didn't really plan on seeing it - it was The Auteur and 1B's suggestion- but I think I might have gotten even just as into the movie than either of them did. The movie and the novel from which it was adapted…

Bit by the baby bug…again

One of The Auteur's close friends, who is now a neighbor of ours, got pregnant a few months before we did and just had her baby yesterday. She had a boy, as are we; and I have to say that I'm getting bit by the baby bug once again. I want to meet our little boy. I want to…
Bit by the baby bug…again
One of The Auteur's close friends, who is now a neighbor of ours, got pregnant a few months before we did and just had her baby yesterday. She had a boy, as are we; and I have to say that I'm getting bit by the baby bug once again. I want to meet our little boy. I want to see what he looks like and I want to discover his personality - how he takes after The Auteur and how he takes after me.

Curtain call

At the risk of sounding melodramatic, baseball is the great unifier in my family.

The Human Bomb

 I lost The Old Man two-and-a-half-months ago.  Needless to say, it has me thinking about my own mortality. A LOT lately.

A Facebook hiatus

 Like many, I too, am often fooled by the illusion that Facebook is socializing itself, rather than a means of socialization.

addictions and withdrawals

About 3 weeks ago, I began moonlighting at a major pharmacy/retailer.  Now, I'm sitting home after working a 7 hour shift and I'm restless because it's the first time I've really had a chance to relax. I think I'm getting addicted to work. I was pretty lucky this week in…

I think I'm getting addicted to work. I was pretty lucky this week in that I had three days in which I worked both of my jobs.
