Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………
Sometimes the irony of how the world works just blows my mind.
Here I go and celebrate the 100th post on dudeimtellinya.com on March 16th and within that post I raised the question of how long it might take to get to 200 posts. I even ventured that hopefully I would get a [...]

Today is already the 100th blog post since I decided to re-energize this forum that was created and once overseen by the late, great ”Morty”.
One of my posts paid tribute to Morty when he passed away back in January 2010. I was proud to have written that one and happy to be able to pay my [...]

So as I announced Wednesday, yesterday was my 40th birthday.
I made it.
Sometimes there was some question as to whether that would happen. But over the last four or five years, I increased the chances quite a bit by settling into a more sedentary lifestyle. That certainly helped.
So where am I at as I [...]

I’ve explored a couple of angles of infidelity in some previous posts. In one of them, I just observed that for the most powerful people around, cheating on their spouse comes with the territory. If you are a Congressman or a captain of industry, there is just a sense of entitlement that comes with [...]

In about a week, I’ll be turning 40.
It hadn’t even dawned on me until the last few days. I have much greater things to worry about at this precise moment such as finding work and meeting the April 1 rent. But as I inch closer to that ceremonial mark—that is really the [...]

Being a short month as it is, and with me usually taking weekends off, there was only a tad over three weeks for this month’s Asshole of the Month to present theirself.
And I found myself a little short on candidates to be honest. In the end, it came down to three contenders.

I’ve been back from Nevada for a week now and it’s been almost two weeks since I lost my dad.
I have to say that I’ve been totally floored by the number of friends that have reached out, called, sent notes and messages. A few years ago, I was basically underground recovering from [...]

I had to take a short hiatus the last 8-10 days as I attended to some family business out in Nevada.
Unfortunately, my father passed away on Super Bowl Sunday. He was a great man and a great father and I’ll be sharing some memories of him in the coming days as I [...]

I’ve extolled the virtues of family on some of my posts here a few times. My dad is battling some ill health right now and the whole family’s thoughts are with him constantly. My mom is the rock of the family. The epitome of a classic mom. Marian Cunningham from Happy Days. [...]

I’ve had some exposure recently to a few situations and conversations about a topic most people probably wouldn’t connect with being something I really believe in. I’m talking about being an organ donor.
I really don’t exactly know why I feel rather strongly about it. I really don’t. There’s two reasons that might be why.
One is [...]
