FiRST! The charter post, the tone setter for the whole dang shebang!
So here I am. Hello world. I don’t know what to say, which is a bad start for a webpage that is supposed to be full of things I say. I guess I could start with the name: Handsome or Handy.
When I was younger I used to watch the Red Green show with my dad on PBS (I grew up with rabbit ears, I got six channels) and Mr. Green had a segment in that show that always ended with him saying “If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy,” and, well, I kind of took that to heart. Be a handy guy if you can’t be handsome and that will please the ladies. After all, handsome is only good for so long, a guy who can install a satellite dish, snake a toilet, hang a picture frame, install linux, roll a cigarette, cook a hearty meal and field strip a handgun is a treasure for life. If you are already handsome? Well learn to be handy and you’re a double threat.
So this blog will be a testament to what it is to be a man. Also this blog will be a showcase of man-crafts and man-sciences to better yourself as a man and maybe something to teach your kids.
Enjoy

Are girls allowed in your club, Bub? If not, your header should be like the sign on Calvin and Hobbes club house. G.R.O.S.S. Get Rid Of Slimy girlS!
Except the wife, because, well “That ain’t no lady, that’s my wife!”
Of course girls are allowed, I’m contemplating a girl of month/week/day feature.

That means I’d have to do something with the one that’s been sitting in the hall way to my sons room for the past four…
