Writing for November

Posted on November 2, 2019 by captaincreed

I can’t explain to you why I stare at blank screens searching. Hoping. Waiting. I can’t explain to you why I consider the cursor a silent companion, or guide, on each verbal journey. But I do. And here I am. Sometimes I know ahead of time what knowledge I seek. Sometimes I know the stories…

#HafftoLaff This Halloween with Laffy Taffy

Posted on October 31, 2019October 31, 2019 by captaincreed

I have partnered with Laffy Taffy to bring you this fun tale of costume creation. Though I have been compensated, my words, thoughts, and costume are all my own. It struck me as I watched my eldest carve a pumpkin and place it on her head, that I didn’t have a Halloween costume. I mean…

The Tears of a Clown Revisited

Posted on September 10, 2019September 10, 2019 by captaincreed

The Tears of a Clown was written 5 years ago – originally on BalconyDads.com. I wrote this after the passing of Robin Williams. 5 years later we have gotten better at talking, but we need to get better. We still need to take strides to remove the stigma of attention to mental health being a…

Maybe I’m Not A Fan

Posted on August 30, 2019August 30, 2019 by captaincreed

So, maybe after 43 years, I’m not a fan. That’s the prospective conclusion I’m contemplating considering the fallout from Andrew Luck’s retirement. I’ll get to him a bit later, but I need to talk about being a fan first because that’s what really came into focus for me. And please keep in mind that this…

Gazing to Infinity and Beyond

Posted on August 20, 2019August 20, 2019 by captaincreed

The Captain is back from Summer Break with some tales to spill. Come and spin a yarn with the Captain. Here’s one about star gazing err moon gazing, err whatever – looking at the sky at night. It was a clear, black night night with a clear white moon. Warren G was not on the…

Are You Funny?

Posted on June 20, 2019August 26, 2019 by captaincreed

I have partnered with Laffy Taffy for this post. Though I have been compensated for this post, the jokes are free.  If you aren’t laughing, you aren’t trying. Laughter. Some people call it defense mechanism, but I call it the best medicine. Life is hard enough already. If you don’t take the time to find…

This post is presented in partnership with Char-Broil. Though I have been compensated, my words and thoughts are my own. If you are nice, I might share some of the grilled food. Enjoy. School is out and summer is finally here. Some of you are going to get technical with me and say that the…

Back Home Again in the CX-9 (Updated)

Posted on June 1, 2019August 7, 2019 by captaincreed

Disclosure: I was loaned a car for the purpose of this piece. My thoughts and words are my own. There were many things that I enjoyed about the Mazda CX-9. Sure the locales that it took me ranged from practical to celebratory, but the experience in the car itself? It was a joy. The vehicle…

I’m a Grill Dad

Posted on May 24, 2019May 24, 2019 by captaincreed

This post is presented in partnership with Char-Broil. Though I have been compensated, my words and thoughts are my own. If you are nice, I might share some of the grilled food. Enjoy. I am a Grill Dad. Not THE Grill Dad. I can’t speak for everyone as there is a wide variety of us,…
