Alpha Male No More

If there was one thing I could always count on with my children, it was my physical superiority. Whenever my boys tried to take on the old man, I could easily prove that I was alpha male of our little pack by crushing either child in an arm wrestling match.

Alas, things have changed. Maxwell challenged me to an arm wrestling match tonight while we were waiting for our pizza. I've been working out like a demon so I gladly accepted the challenge. I was confident I would crush the foolish child and show him who was king. Well, I don't know what hurt worse. Was it the fact that Maxwell beat me so easily or that he laughed all the way through the ordeal. Thank God I can still beat Trevor...I think.

Lovey & Sweetie

I picked up Trevor and Maxwell this morning for the weekend. Their mother has two of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. Trevor (left) is holding the Shiatsu, Lovey Dovey. and Maxwell (right) is holding the Chihuahua, Sweetie Petey.

Lovey was delighted when Sweetie was recently introduced into the family and more than happy to let Sweetie assume the alpha role. They've already worn an oval track in the back yard where they play lion chasing gazelle for hours. I always have to stop for a quick pick-me-up when I get the boys. If you're feeling down, these guys will always lift your spirits. My handsome sons aren't too bad either.

Note: Trevor (14), aka Young Frankenstein, was pleased to inform me that he recently surpassed Maxwell in stature when he reached the 6'2" mark. Maxwell quickly countered that he is much stronger, has a 6-pack, and can do one armed push ups. Trevor is the same size I was at that age but about 30 pounds heavier. Food donations are appreciated.

Guns, Guns, and More Guns

Big brother, Ryan, moved back from Chi Town and is staying with us for a while. This gives Ryan some quality time with his little...er...I mean younger brothers, Maxwell and Trevor while he looks for work. Naturally, the economy took a dive just as he began his job hunt. However, after pounding the pavement for a few months, Ryan landed his dream job selling firearms for Tropical Firearms in Davie, Florida.

Ryan's always had a keen interest in firearms and has become an expert through self-study and his training in the Marine Corp. This knowledge has helped him become the top salesman at Tropical within two weeks of working there. If you're looking to buy a firearm and need some expert advice, look up Ryan and let him help you make a smart purchase.
