My earliest memory is of receiving Chewbacca from my father. Raging Hippie Grandpa, a folk and blues man who played the bar circuit as a singer/songwriter, would often be gone Wednesday through Saturday for his work. Sunday morning was always exciting in our house, because we would wake up to Dad being home. One morning, [...]

Earlier today I noticed that some random blog was coming up on my site stats that appeared to have my content, lifted directly from my blog. I went to check it out, and sure enough, there was my most recent post, copied verbatim. Thank goodness for Wikipedia. After a quick Google search, I learned about [...]

Alright, Raging Readers. Today I am welcoming a guest to my Raging Blog. You’re asking, “How cool is that?” It’s pretty cool. The wonderfully bad mother over at Her Bad Mother came up with this event–a Bitchfest–where people who need to gripe and didn’t feel like they could do it on their own sites could [...]

I have already gone on and on about the beauty of the Olympics in high definition. Do you know what else I cannot get enough of on my new television? Discovery Channel HD. Trust me, you have not seen a documentary on bugs until you have seen it in high definition. I could watch these [...]

I have a terrible memory. Raging Mom thinks it is because I don’t pay attention. She’s probably right. Wait a minute, what was this post about? Gotta focus… You know that feeling, when you have driven a long distance, and when you reach your destination you have no memory of your trip there? Or when [...]

Raging Mom and I normally don’t get into sports, but we are wildly into the Olympics. Pretty much any event gets us pumped up, but nothing more than girls figure skating or girls gymnastics.

I was noticing that it has been a year since we instituted The Rules in the Raging Household, which was to be a pivotal tool in our ongoing quest to force order and gain submission from the little devils. The Rules were adopted with input from the children, but it was only for show. This [...]

Dear Connie, I am writing this confession to you, for when you are older. Someday, you will read this and I hope that you will not think me a cruel man for the choices that your mother and I have made. Yesterday, I killed your kitty. The vet injected her with the poison, but it [...]

Well, I have failed to achieve my goal of getting “down on paper” a post about our Raging Family’s Wednesday and Thursday. It has been extremely emotional, and has involved many tears and the bidding of farewell to a certain furry part of our family. And I am not talking about me, though after the [...]

Just watched Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh win the gold in the rain. Freakin’ awesome. While on the topic of awesome, let’s talk about me. I am not sure how exclusive a club it is—I mean, they accepted me—but I am now listed on Alltop in the Dads category. Lots of good blogs in there, [...]
