Dogs, bosses, garden slugs, who sits next to who at Thanksgiving, cheating at golf, fretting the night away, carping couples on long trips, eating over the sink, toenail clippings, cosmic order, hairballs, flop sweat, coughing into one’s elbow, clogged pipes, clogged arteries, parking crooked at the mall.
That’s what real life is all about. And that’s what Real Life Adventures is all about.
For nearly two decades, Lance (Aldrich) and Gary (Wise) have drawn, and drawn from, the everyday stuff that we all slog through.
And on any given day, they like to think their little square slice of life is a nice change from the rickety roller coaster the rest of the world seems to be.
Want to share your life’s goofiosity with them? Just post here.

He looks a little too young to go out on a date.

It’s a continuum, of course. Those over-scheduling, overachieving parents are the products of their own pressure-cooker parents. I’m less interested in finding someone to blame than in figuring out what we as a society can do to change the insanity of our society.

I’m not sure it’s that the parents are overachievers. It might be that they need multiple part-time, low-wage, no-benefits jobs to survive. If so, it’s fairly clear what has to change.

Nothing. you can only choose to change yourself. My wife and I passed on better jobs in bigger cities years ago so our kids would be able to know their grandparents. It has been a constant blessing in their lives. But both chose to move to much larger cities and to bigger jobs. It is NOT generational from Boomer pressure. It’s the collapse of a former economy that once allowed that choice.
