Leapin' lizards (scare Bryce to death)
Thursday, July 2, 2009
Funny how life works.
Back in 1985, when I was just 10-years-old, my buddy Andy Nelms and I spent the entire summer trying to catch lizards. Every time we would catch one, we would put it in a container, label it and observe the lizard's behavior. Fast forward 25 years later, and wouldn't you know it, I still make poop jokes.

One year down, hopefully more to go
Thursday, June 25, 2009
On Sunday I celebrated my first wedding anniversary. Or, as my wife likes to call it, "I still can't believe I said yes." As for the day itself, well, we didn't really do anything too fancy. Simply grabbed a bite to eat and then visited the spot where we exchanged vows. But as we wer...

The reality of friend's big win is way better than any dream
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Things like this don't ever happen. I mean, you dream they'll happen, but even in the dream you kind of know it's a stretch. But then one of your best friends wins the U.S. Open by two shots and you're speechless. Absolutely lost. Should I call him? Text him? (I chose both.) In the ...

A twit's guide to Twitter
Thursday, June 11, 2009
When it comes to Twitter, the free social networking and microblogging service you can use from your computer or cell phone, people generally fall into one of two camps: Those who love it and those with an IQ over 15.

When camping, don't do what Bryce does
Thursday, June 4, 2009
It's time for Part Two of our critically acclaimed series on the do's and don'ts of camping.
In this week's installment, we will attempt to answer such burning questions as, "How much water should you pack for a three-week camping trip?" "What do you do if it starts raining outside and your beagle, who is in the tent with you, develops really bad gas?" and "How are you going to answer all these questions when you're using the 'do' and 'don't' format?"

How to be the best best man
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Last weekend was my best friend's wedding. I was the best man. Well, co-best man. He also made his little brother one. You know, just in case I were to get sick. Or forget that his wedding was actually two weekends ago.

Riding your bike to work is cyclopathic
Thursday, May 21, 2009
Last Friday was "National Ride Your Bike to Work Day." So naturally, with the weather a perfect 84 degrees and a gentle spring breeze in the air, I hailed a rickshaw.

A host is a host of course of course
Thursday, May 14, 2009
I don't normally like to brag, but one time when I was 8 and I got a tapeworm, the doctor — who I have to say showed some real thoughtfulness in an otherwise awful situation — told me I was "the perfect host."

Leave-a, Las Vegas!
Thursday, May 7, 2009
When gambling in Las Vegas, you should always make sure you understand the point of each game before playing. Otherwise, you might find yourself in a really awkward situation like I did at the craps table.

Avoid high-priced hoes (and other handy landscaping tips)
Thursday, April 30, 2009
Ah, spring is in the air. Not to mention all over my car.
That's right, the ceremonial 2-inch-thick layer of pollen is upon us signaling the beginning of growing season. Which means it's time for you to get outside and do battle with Mother Nature in the form of yard work.

Runaway train(ing)
Thursday, April 23, 2009
When my wife got me a six-week triathlon training program for my birthday, I was so excited, I nearly wet my pants. (NOTE: In this particular instance "nearly" is pronounced "totally.")

A chip off the old blockhead
Thursday, April 16, 2009
Consider this an early Father's Day column. After all, if the past is any indication, I won't be on speaking terms with my dad come June.

"YOU'RE HIRED!" (Is something you'll never hear if you follow these job interview tips)
Thursday, April 9, 2009
So you finally got up the nerve to march into your boss's office and tell him you feel underappreciated and underpaid. Naturally, he was impressed by your assertiveness and candor, and promptly fired you.

You are prequalified to read this column
Thursday, April 2, 2009
With a recession looming, unemployment skyrocketing and more personal debt than Michael Jackson and General Motors put together, I decided what better time than the present to take on a huge monthly mortgage payment.
