Tails from the “Ruff Striders”…

This one is for my dog, Maddie, who has been actively trying to kill me since my family and I adopted her a few years ago. 

Maddie has the uncanny ability to poop in the precise center of any street or intersection, but only if there is oncoming traffic.

Enjoy “Ruff Striders”! ( my dog walking crew )

Brit Floyd

Ash and I joined a couple of friends to see “Brit Floyd”, a Pink Floyd cover band at SDSU. They were absolutely amazing. 

One of my favorite albums of all time is their “Pulse” album ( 1994 ), a live recording from one of their concerts. It was unique in that they decided to mount a pulsing red LED in the case. That light blinked throughout my 4ish years of college and got a lot of play time.

I can’t wait to see them again next year!

Live live, stay healthy, support live music

Oh, Mexico…

Damn! Missed my self-imposed “Hump”-day comic deadline. I’ve been busy working on a new song, a Rubber Band Flyer, covers, and ….. BOOM … picking up the family at the border after a weeklong jaunt in Cabo.

I’ll give you one guess where we stopped off immediately after crossing the border – and it ain’t McDonalds.

Happy Hump-(uh)…Thursday…..

My Own Awesomeness

Every night’s a concert.

Which no one asked for.

I know my family loves em’

So I always crack my door.

My kids and dogs always howl along. 

I know they can’t get enough.

I don’t want to disappoint my fans

So I’ll just turn it up. 

The door will shut behind me.

My wife snuck in and left.

Leaving me to the badass sounds.

Of my own awesomeness.

Live life. Stay Healthy. Go be awesome …

It’s what’s for dinner…

I’ve been trying to publish a weekly comic every Wednesday. There’s nothing like breathing down your own neck to meet a self-imposed arbitrary deadline, right?

I used to love the dailies back when newspapers ( and comics ? ) were a thing. I have no idea how “they” did it back then. My favorites were Calvin and Hobbes, Far Side, Bloom County, Fox Trot, Garfield, and ( of course ) Peanuts. What were yours?

Live life. Stay healthy. Set a self-imposed deadline.

McNugget

My youngest is now the proud owner of a Leopard Gecko. She named it “McNugget”. McNugget eats meal worms which, apparently, are just larvae….

…it took less than one month of Kaylee caring for McNugget for us to “learn” this.

Jodie and I have joked that we’ll need to rip Kaylee’s bedroom down to the studs and rebuild when she goes off to college. I’m not sure if I’m joking anymore…

Live life. Take care. Don’t keep live bait in your bedroom.

I make her nervous…

There’s something about having a new driver in the house that …. well, it inspires me to embarrass her, I guess. Truth be told, Ashley’s become a very good driver. She started her first job this week ( summer jobs, remember those? ) and we’ve been carpooling with her behind the wheel. Everything was going great until I took her car out ( we’ve started calling her “Turbo Smurf” ) for lunch and triggered the dash to light up like a Christmas Tree. Technically, I “broke” her car and have been getting just the tiniest of stink eyes ever sense. 

Live live. Stay healthy. Don’t drive your daughters’ car

Triggered

Yes…..I did stand in the Costco vitamin aisle for longer than I’d like to admit scratching my head and pondering this particular dilemma. It shook me more than I thought it would. Fortunately, I’m just 50, not “plus” yet….

Live life. Stay Healthy. Take your vitamins.

With or Without Me

I took a hiatus on drawing and started writing some original music, and then something unexpected happened – I wanted to start drawing again. Fortunately, my family has been on a roll as far as providing me with material.

As far as music this song is called, “With or Without Me.”

It’s about being a Dad ( or Mom ) with kids that are growing up just a little too fast. Yes, it still needs some polish ( starting with a nice kick drum ), but I’m trying.

Live life. Stay Healthy. Go make something.
