From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt: June 2011
http://mattryerson.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt. Thursday, June 30, 2011. Of Mice and Men and the battle between. As I watched our little visitor scamper around the floor boards looking for crumbs, I was already drawing up my battle plans for the next day. This mouse had broken into my fortress and because of his trespass, I declared war. I planned on making quick work of this little rodent and claim my crown as the defender of my home. So what would I tell my daughter about this battle victory? Like most good dadd...

From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt: Why won't this car die?!?!
http://mattryerson.blogspot.com/2011/08/why-wont-this-car-die.html
From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt. Friday, August 5, 2011. Why won't this car die? Unfortunately for the car, she isn’t my favorite. In fact, she isn’t even close. You might ask, “Why do you drive this antique with nearly 200,000 miles on it? 8221; Well, I made a commitment. I once said, as long as it runs, I’ll drive it to avoid a car payment. Let this serve as a word of caution - I said that five years ago. How did I end up driving this car in the first place? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt: November 2010
http://mattryerson.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. The flower girl and the ring "bear", Part II. My column last week highlighted a family wedding we had over the weekend and the frightening invitation for our children to participate in this special event. You may be wondering, why would I use the term “frightening” in relation to my children being asked to be a part of this special day? Well, my children are 4 and 2 years old . . . enough said? 8221; And with joy in my heart and a smile ...

From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt: February 2011

From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt. Friday, February 25, 2011. Daddy, it's tastes like sunshine! When it comes to healthy eating habits, my son and my daughter are nearly polar opposites. While my daughter will try and eat anything (including the dog food we put out for Tucker the family pet), my son’s first response to eating a new food is, “No thank you.” When pushed a little further, he will typically say, “I don’t like it.”. 8220;But son, you haven’t even tried it yet.”.

From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Ready, set, "Wanna Race" . . . GO! Some of you may be concerned, "But Matt, what about your course record-setting time? If you start later than others, don't they have an advantage? Then, for all the fat guys in the world who have never won a race, in a low, gravelly voice, I'll say, "Wanna race? Labels: Nashville Half Marathon. Monday, April 25, 2011. 5 days and counting . . . So Matt, how is the training going? Saturday being this Saturda...

From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt: July 2011
http://mattryerson.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt. Friday, July 8, 2011. An open letter to the REAL "Unsung Heroes". As some of you know, my wife recently nominated me for the Sears “Unsung Heroes; Dads Making a Difference Contest”. Amazingly, I was selected as one of 10 finalists in the contest and we were placed on Facebook to have “fans” vote one of the dad’s as most deserving and to receive a grand prize of $30,000 toward a community build project. So, I’d like to dedicate this column to you and say “...This is t...

From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt: January 2011
http://mattryerson.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt. Monday, January 17, 2011. The Roar of a Family Snore! Many have been accused of snoring. I am one of those who allegedly broke the silence of the night with a low rumble. And for many of us, we believed we were the unfortunate victims of an unfounded conspiracy in an effort to embarrass us. Of course, the reality of the situation is that we weren’t there to give a denial . . . or at least not conscious. 8220;What did it sound like? Friday, January 7, 2011. I asked my...

From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt: Tucker, the Family . . . Hummingbird?!?!
http://mattryerson.blogspot.com/2011/08/tucker-family-hummingbird.html
From the Snow Belt to the Bible Belt. Friday, August 5, 2011. Tucker, the Family . . . Hummingbird? I am fascinated by hummingbirds. You may question the depth of my manhood when you read that statement, but in fairness, have you ever looked closely at one of those crazy birds? One hummingbird in particular seems to visit all day every day, not sure how that little guy holds all that juice, but I assume he has to make many trips to the hummingbird men’s room. 8220;Tucker,” he answered excitedly. 8220;But...
