Welcome! This is a place. On the internet. I'm glad you're here.
My office phone rang 15 minutes before my next meeting. It was my wife and she sounded concerned. "I just started hard-boiling some eggs, and...is it possible that there could be a chick inside one of the eggs?" My brain can't begin to comprehend what she's trying to ask me. All I could muster was …
Why are dad jokes funny? Notice how I didn't ask if they were funny. That's not up for debate. Sure, they may not be funny to everyone, but they are certainly funny to someone, else we dads wouldn't keep telling them. I've been a father for over two and a half years (so, I'm just getting …
About a year ago, a friend of mine asked why I wanted to start TheMuggo.com. I appreciated the question because it gave credence to the idea that this is more than just a personal blog where I air out all my feelings and opinions. I gave a quick response in the moment, but I felt …
January 12, 2010. I was mindlessly driving south on I-65 just north of the exit leading to Winimac, IN. Where ever the hell that is. No radio. No phone calls. Just driving on a sunny day in January. Given the time of year, the sun sat lower in the sky than it would in the …

It's Christmastime again. That phrase can mean many things to many people. For me, it's a wonderful thing and something I look forward to every year. I get excited about seeing family and old friends. After graduating college and getting married, my wife and I moved away from most of my family, so we don't …
The following is a story I helped write for a friend. In it, he shares of the most difficult thing he's faced in his lifetime. Two years ago, his son committed suicide. Dana wanted to write this story in hopes that it will reach someone who is hurting and needs help. I've been honored to …
Rush hour is the worst. But you wanna know what makes rush hour worse than it needs to be? It's one person. One evil person.
You may have noticed there hasn't been a new story in a little while. That's because my precious daughter was born a couple weeks ago. Before that, I'd been busy working on a couple other stories, but I wasn't able to get them finished prior to the baby being born. There was a point late …
