Ozark: Season Three – A Few Thoughts
No spoilers, I promise. Ozark is one of those shows that is difficult to describe. The title is both perfect and horrible because it completely throws the viewer off from the actual nature of the show, which is also what makes the title so fitting. If you’ve never seen it, the first two seasons are…

A Few Positives Regarding Extra Time
While I wish that this outbreak had never happened, and with full recognition of the pain and suffering many are enduring, I must admit that there are a few personal things that I’ve experienced during the last several weeks that are frankly quite positive. Seeing my kids all day, every day: If you’re like us,…

Netflix’s Sugar Rush – A Fun Family Show
If you’re looking for a fun family show, I’d like to recommend Netflix’s Sugar Rush. My youngest daughter actually discovered this show on her children’s profile. She wanted to watch it, so we thought we’d give it a shot. Turns out that the whole family loves it! The premise is pretty simple. There is a…

They Got Me On This April Fool’s Day
My kids are very into April Fool’s Day. My oldest can handle things on her own, but my seven-year-old still needs an assist. Last year I helped her out with some tricks on her mom. This year her mom got some payback against me. I recently bought East of West’s latest volume from Amazon. My…

Are You a Parent Feeling Overwhelmed By Remote Learning?
In the span of twenty-four hours, I have received no less than fifteen emails from my children’s schools, several recorded phone calls, and “suggestions” that they utilize six new e-learning programs. (By the way, my kids are eleven and seven years old.) We are getting messages from principals, superintendents, food services, music teachers, art teachers,…

Netflix’s Tiger King – A Few (Introductory) Thoughts
I’ve seen a LOT online about a documentary on Netflix called Tiger King. Even so, when I would notice the “poster” on Netflix, I always thought it looked ridiculous. It appeared as some sort of a mockumentary–I assumed it couldn’t be real. However, I listen to a radio program called The Dan LeBatard Show with…

The Mandalorian – A Few Thoughts
This is probably my favorite show of all time, so there is no excuse for just now writing about it months after it debuted. By the way, yes, I’m a Star Wars fanatic. And, no, I’m not capable of being objective when it comes to Star Wars. However, even with that being said, this is…

Have Older Siblings Teach Younger Siblings
Do you have siblings in the house? Have the older sibling teach the younger sibling something at which they excel. It gives the older child a daily sense of purpose and it gives the younger sibling the attention they are probably craving.

Keep Your Kids Fit With GoNoodle
Have you heard about GoNoodle? My wife has been raving about it for years as a great tool for brain breaks and as an in-class fitness tool. Well, it’s been a little chilly in our neck of the woods during the last few days and our kids needed exercise, so I found GoNoodle on our…

Amazon’s The Boys – A Few Thoughts
I’ve been meaning to write about this crazy show for a long, long time because I actually watched it last summer. However, it says something that even after all of these months, it still stands out as one of the best series I’ve seen in quite a while. Based on a comic book, The Boys…
