For those of you who aren't me…and I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who aren't.
Childhood Beasties Pediatric Psychologists agree, “Monsters under the bed can be a horrible reality for young children.” Toddlers beside the bed are an even worse one for sleeping fathers. My son was especially susceptible to night creatures and kept me awake many a night with his night frights. As the excellent dad Mr. Ohh! is, …
Misunderstanding Shakespeare “Thou mad mustachio purple-hued maltworms!” Huh?? What the heck is that supposed to mean? This line is a direct quote from William Shakespeare, Henry IV: Part 1, and like so much of old Willy I don’t understand a word of it. I got out my handy-dandy dictionary and I looked up the words. First …

Let's sing about love What’s Love Got to Do With It? Well, actually nothing, but before you go saying I’ll Never Fall in Love Again you should probably check this out. I realize that Love Stinks and Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, but Wake Up Little Susie. You should know by now that Love …

A week later Well, once again we’ve completed the annual festival of carbs, candy, and creative lies, we call Christmas. It’s an interesting festival, filled with Church Fellowship, silent nights of family togetherness, and an attempt to break all seven deadly sins.

I am lost in a confusing world My life just keeps getting messed up, and I can’t figure out why. I have my suspicions, but it concerns my children, and my wife thinks I blame my children far too much. The thing is we have a different view about them. My wife sees my three …

I have a confession to make. It pains me to admit it, but as all the doctors say. “Admitting the problem is the first step to healing” And we must listen to doctors. They study for twelve years and do things like research and clinical studies, just so people listen to them. I don’t even …
A Mr. Ohh’s sideways view EXTRA. Wow people is this ever exciting. Today is world laughter day and I truly feel I’m not doing my share. Earlier I went outside, stood in the yard and threw pies in people’s faces, but the pedestrian community I live in just called the cops. The fine wasn’t too …
I like to read. I wouldn’t say I was well read, unless you count Sports Digest and the funny paper, in which case I’m a literary genius. I did read a bit in college, but I was able to keep that to Spiderman Comic books. Heck, you change a couple of names and they become …

In 1985 Bruce Springsteen wrote a song called I’m On Fire. I looked at a picture of Bruce, and while he’s not the handsomest man alive he doesn’t look as though he has had third degree burns all over his body.
