I have never been that wise at picking a restaurant location. In my years, I have opened many restaurants and closed many. You would think by now I would know I am not that good at anticipating future business. So it should come as no surprise that when I gave my wife a LARGE bird feeder that no birds would show up. I mean do these birds know it is me, do they know my reputation?. All I can say is it is pretty bad when I am offering free food, and I can’t get a single customer. Do you think maybe I should offer an “eat one get one” coupon?

Last week I wrote about how I have nothing to write about because my kids weren’t getting into trouble anymore. It appears that I am making up for them.
My wife and I were invited to a party and the other morning one of our good friends texted me to tell me it was a surprise party. I am thinking to myself why would it be a surprise party? My wife always knows everything, so I called her to ask her. Who would the surprise be for? She just laughed and said I guess I will have to look surprised now.
It’s her birthday weekend.

As the kids get older they tend to get into less mischief and do less crazy things. Consequently, I have fewer stories to write about. Is that a good thing? I mean most of the time it is good, but on Saturday night when I sit down to write something, I need material, and in the past they provided it to me. Now, I have to think on my own. So, instead, I have decided to have a column where I give advice. I really don’t know much of anything so I should be good at giving advice.
For instance someone might ask me for parenting advice, and I would have absolutely no advice. Someone else might ask advice about relationships and again I would have absolutely nothing.
I really need those kids to get into trouble again, don’t I?

It is a sad day around our household. Usually this time of year I just love my kids so much that I have a difficult time expressing it. But, all things must pass and so it is with a heavy heart, that I have to say my kids are aging out. This means, that they will soon be un-detuctible. In other words I can no longer write the little darling children off of my taxes. I knew this day would come but I just am having such a hard time accepting it. I mean kids are cute, but their real purpose is to lighten our tax load. I just hope one day I can look at them again with love and affection, but I am so afraid I will just break down and cry.
