"I'm A Bad Boy, Cuz I Don't Even Miss Them"
20 March 06 12:15 PM | Jason Looney | 1 Comments   

To paraphrase the great Tom Petty, our boy Joseph is free. Freeeee-ballin’. At the tender age of 19 months our little Joe Baby has figured out how to remove his pants and the accompanying diaper. And remove them he does, nearly every time we leave Read More...

There Should Be No Value Judgement Regarding Where I Leave My Clothes At Night
21 February 06 10:00 AM | Jason Looney | 1 Comments   

I'm behind on my blog posts right now because I've been working on other things. This leaves me no choice (thanks to February (28) ) but to "synergize" and post snippets of the stuff I'm currently working on. (This type of thing that will eventually end Read More...

Happy Birthday Susie!
17 February 06 05:30 PM | Jason Looney | 0 Comments   

Today is Sarah's birthday but all she has to show for it, so far, is a cake that says “Happy Birthday Susie.” We're celebrating her birthday with a dinner and a concert on Sunday, so today is mostly a non-event. I'm even waiting until Sunday to give her Read More...

Torture Rarely Works (A Valentine's Story)
14 February 06 09:30 AM | Jason Looney | 1 Comments   

Last night I asked Jackson, our three year old, about his day. He said, "We bought you a long shirt." Jackson is definitely my favorite kid. The other one would never divulge a golden nugget of secret information like this, probably because he hates me. Read More...

Testimonial: Baby Einstein Videos
19 January 06 10:00 PM | Jason Looney | 1 Comments   

See the spikey-haired boy ostensibly resembling a young Albert Einstein? My son thinks that boy's name is Julie Clark. Sure, I could tell him that the little boy with the crazy hair isn't named Julie Clark and that Julie Clark is the pretty lady who founded Read More...

Hope and Emptiness
15 November 05 08:30 PM | Jason Looney | 0 Comments   

Last night I hung two small paintings in our bedroom, one on each side of our bed. One painting depicts a sandy beach with a lighthouse in the background. I chose to put this one on my wife's side of the bed, since she is the beacon of hope for our family. Read More...

The Key to Proper Parenting
26 October 05 12:45 PM | Jason Looney | 0 Comments   

I hope my wife is journaling all the stories she tells when I come home in the evenings. I mean, things like The Key Incident just shouldn't go undocumented... It happened shortly after Sarah emerged from a toy store with our boys, ages 2 and 1. She first Read More...

One Cold Woman
17 October 05 09:30 AM | Jason Looney | 3 Comments   

From time to time my wife can be a cold, cold woman. Especially in bed. Now, I’m not saying that she’s an ice queen or anything, but she does like to sit on a throne and tell ice what to do. Before you get too excited, know that I’m Read More...

Cocka-doodle-darn
26 August 05 01:00 PM | Jason Looney | 0 Comments   

One of the games I like to play with my boys is called “Cocka-doodle-doo.” To start the game, I pretend to fall asleep. Then, the boys yell “Cocka-doodle-doo!”, I pretend to be startled awake and, in a mock half-asleep daze, I Read More...

Head Banger For Life
26 July 05 08:30 PM | Jason Looney | 0 Comments   

For a year or so now we’ve been battling our head-banging son, Jackson. He’s two, and his preferred method of venting his frustration is to bang his head against the nearest floor or wall — even if the surface is very, very hard. While Read More...

Jackson is talking on a play cell phone. DADDY: Hey Jack, who you talking to? JACKSON: Junior. DADDY: Junior Asparagus? JACKSON: Yeah. DADDY: Cool! Can I talk to him? Jackson brings Daddy the phone. DADDY: Hey Junior! What’s cookin’? Oh, your Read More...

First Ingredient
18 July 05 11:30 AM | Jason Looney | 0 Comments   

Since Sarah is devoted to keeping our family free from foods with plastics in them, if anything tasty is to be bought for our pantry, I have to make my own trip to the grocery store. This is why, the other night, I found myself at King Soopers picking Read More...

They Do, I Write
22 June 05 09:45 PM | Jason Looney | 0 Comments   

Time to brag on my family a bit… My uncle, Clark Griep, is running for mayor of Broomfield, Colorado. Clark’s one of the smartest guys I’ve ever met, and he’s absolutely indefatigable. He loves his city (sorry, city/county) so Read More...

On The Importance Of Driving Maniacally
17 June 05 08:30 PM | Jason Looney | 0 Comments   

Today I drove across town to meet my wife and children for a photo session with the kids. I didn’t want to be late, and somehow this simple desire turned me into a manic, hazardous driver. I had some difficulty getting out of our subdivision, which was Read More...

Baby Food
09 June 05 07:45 AM | Jason Looney | 0 Comments   

I'm thinking of giving my kids their own blogs. Since our oldest is two and the youngest is a baby, it would be a fascinating experiment — their entire lives could be documented blogospherically. Sure, this type of thing might be commonplace in the future, Read More...

My wife and I celebrated our eighth anniversary last night. Each year around this time we like to reflect on our accomplishments, our relationship, and all the various manners of passive aggression we're using to destroy each other's hopes of happiness. Read More...

Relative University
17 May 05 06:15 AM | Jason Looney | 0 Comments   

Our universe is governed by laws, many of which we don’t fully understand. Today I want to consider the following immutable and irrefutable laws of universal relativity: 1) My child is cuter than yours 2) You do not agree with me I believe these Read More...

It's About Milk
20 April 05 07:00 AM | Jason Looney | 1 Comments   

As a single man, I would occasionally think: Milk sound good. And I would open the refrigerator door, grab the big white thing, put the opening to my mouth and cross into a state of not-yet-lactose-intolerant bliss. Now, as a married man with two small Read More...

Beaten At My Own Game

Last night my oldest son asked me, "Dad, where's the Red Square?" I quickly answered, "Moscow," but I could see he was confused, so I added, "Russia." More confusion. It took me a moment, but eventually I realized that he's two years old. He was missing Read More...
