Coffee and diapers: Tonight's example of "It's exactly like you've heard."
http://bigdaddyavelis.blogspot.com/2011/01/tonights-example-of-its-exactly-like.html
A Lone Daddy's fight against the Mommy-Industrial complex. Tuesday, January 4, 2011. Tonight's example of "It's exactly like you've heard.". So I wanted a run today, but with Theo out of school for the week, it had to be an after dinner run. By the time I could get out the door, it was just before 8PM. This didn't shock me, based on what I knew before we moved here; but it was just another reminder that we are here at a perfect time in our lives and as much as I enjoy our temporary status here, I would n...

Coffee and diapers: Things I think every day, but never talk about
http://bigdaddyavelis.blogspot.com/2011/02/things-i-think-every-day-but-never-talk.html
A Lone Daddy's fight against the Mommy-Industrial complex. Friday, February 11, 2011. Things I think every day, but never talk about. Yesterday afternoon I found this Ta-Nehisi Coates article. While waiting for Theo to wake up from an unexpected nap. For once, maybe convincing myself that I didn't have enough time to start a new project around the house was a good thing.

Coffee and diapers: The going gets weird, again...
http://bigdaddyavelis.blogspot.com/2009/12/going-gets-weird-again.html
A Lone Daddy's fight against the Mommy-Industrial complex. Wednesday, December 9, 2009. The going gets weird, again. Do I sound like a moron to anyone else? Because in hindsight, I sound like a moron to me.]. Anyone see where this is going yet? Who am i kidding, 90% of my readers already know where this is ending.]. Comfortable is all well and good, but I'd forgotten "comfortable" isn't the life we've chosen. This is getting more predictable than a horror movie, right? What went through my head? Theo isn...

Coffee and diapers: Happy birthday Theo
http://bigdaddyavelis.blogspot.com/2010/05/happy-birthday-theo.html
A Lone Daddy's fight against the Mommy-Industrial complex. Friday, May 14, 2010. Today's moment of funny that made up for a long day:. Theo is getting ready for bed and Daddy is whistling "Don't let's start" to himself. Theo: "What you singing, Daddy? Daddy: "Uh, They Might Be Giants, Theo.". Theo: "No, Daddy, there won't be giants.". You probably had to be there. Before reading your post, I was driving back from Lodge Park with Theo, whistling away. He asked What you singing, Grandpa? CincHouse, a site ...

Coffee and diapers: Japan earthquake and tsunamis
http://bigdaddyavelis.blogspot.com/2011/03/japan-earthquake-and-tsunamis.html
A Lone Daddy's fight against the Mommy-Industrial complex. Friday, March 11, 2011. Japan earthquake and tsunamis. I was lying down with Theo this afternoon, half-sleeping, when I realized that my phone had been buzzing in my pocket far more than normal for the middle of the afternoon. I woke up to find that I had multiple messages from email and Twitter friends asking if I was OK. According to a public statement. The base here in Sasebo has been affected very little. One ship that was in port is gett...

Coffee and diapers: Party time!
http://bigdaddyavelis.blogspot.com/2010/04/party-time.html
A Lone Daddy's fight against the Mommy-Industrial complex. Sunday, April 18, 2010. So I decided to solve both problems and throw a "clean out the pantry" party. We put out the word on Facebook and in person to some of Ruth's co-workers, but I didn't really know how many people we'd get. I figured that I'd make whatever I could from ingredients around the house and if we ended up with a bunch of leftovers, then at least we'd be able to eat all week. Right before the party, I picked up our favorite hummus ...

Coffee and diapers: Chills. Seriously.
http://bigdaddyavelis.blogspot.com/2011/02/chills-seriously.html
A Lone Daddy's fight against the Mommy-Industrial complex. Friday, February 11, 2011. As someone who lived there over 20 years, this spot echoed my sentiments about my hometown like no other commercial has. I tend to be cynical about advertising, but this one was spot on, and chill-inducing like you mentioned. February 13, 2011 at 8:24 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Coffee and diapers: I love it when this happens
http://bigdaddyavelis.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-love-it-when-this-happens.html
A Lone Daddy's fight against the Mommy-Industrial complex. Tuesday, January 18, 2011. I love it when this happens. I already posted this over on Dailymile, but I've added to it somewhat here. I knew exactly what was going to happen next, because it happens so often here, but it hasn't gotten old yet. Just as I passed through the group, one of the girls - who had no doubt been double-dog-dared by her friends - broke the silence and meekly said, "Konichiwa.". The giant can talk!

Coffee and diapers: Uhhh..how's this thing work again?
http://bigdaddyavelis.blogspot.com/2010/04/uhhhhows-this-thing-work-again.html
A Lone Daddy's fight against the Mommy-Industrial complex. Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Uhhhhow's this thing work again? Oh, yeah, I have to log on and TYPE INTO IT. So it's been a crazy few months around here. We're just over a week from having movers invade our house and pack all our stuff into small boxes, which will then be placed into bigger boxes, which will then be sent halfway around the world to our new home. As usual, the blog has been low on the priority list. Moving to sasebo 2010 woooo. The dail...

Coffee and diapers: I'm going to be selfish, and that's OK.
http://bigdaddyavelis.blogspot.com/2009/10/im-going-to-be-selfish-and-thats-ok.html
A Lone Daddy's fight against the Mommy-Industrial complex. Wednesday, October 7, 2009. I'm going to be selfish, and that's OK. I had an "I'm a bad, selfish dad" moment on the walk home from dropping Theo at his 2-morning-per-week school. In addition, I realized that this Monday is Columbus Day, and therefore he'll be missing school for two full weeks out of this month when it's all said and done. And then it hit me: WHAT ON EARTH AM I THINKING? When exactly did I lose my fucking mind and turn into the gu...
