I’ve always wanted to write a blog, but never fully committed with a lack of enthusiasm. Lots of semi-developed ideas later, I find myself unable to concentrate on anything but this one idea – the henpecked husband. A title I’m often given by coworkers. “If you look up henpecked in the dictionary, Bud’s picture is right there!” This typically follows a short illustration of the overthought meal I’d prepared for my wife the night previous.
Unaware of it’s meaning, I actually looked it up and realized – I’m not henpecked. I just love my wife. She doesn’t ask me to do the things I do (most of the time), but I do them because that’s what being a man is about. Proving to your love the reason they chose you everyday SHOULD be your priority. I can tell as I write, baby-boomers are rolling their eyes and men of the 1920’s are rolling over in their graves. I’ve always found the status quo of the domesticated spouse interesting. It’s always the woman. When a man comes home to a wife in the 21st century, it’s likely she’s returning from a long day at work as well. Who cooks and cleans in this situation? Times have changed.
Why? Because you’re a man damnit. You SHOULD be able to get up, walk the dog, go to work, slave away, research a meal, buy groceries, flowers for the wife, workout, cook, and kiss her on her way in. That’s how MY mother taught me to treat my wife and that’s the mentality I urge you to adopt. Think happy wife, happy life – modern rendition.
This place will be a haven of recipes, photos, beer reviews, projects that I’m working on, and generally just cool shit I find worthy of sharing.
On that note – let’s start with some healthy yet manly tailgate food…see post to follow

The Henpecked Husband of Birmingham 
LOVE this Bud. So excited for you 🙂
I think I should get Dan and John in on this action – they’d have a few things to say I’m sure.
Excellent first post! I look forward to reading more!
Thanks man! We need to grab a beer next time I’m in ATL for the weekend. Tell your family I said hey.
Your finally doing something worthwhile. I like the conviction!
It’s funny you say that, every time I think of you all I hear is you singing, “You can find me, on the back of a jacked up tailgate…”
Where you at now?
I’ve never followed a blog before but I will definitely start with yours! Love your first post! I’ll definitely pass it on to Karl too.
I’ve never been a blogger myself. Our neighbor explained it best today – you follow one and then they either stop posting or their “theme” isn’t consistent. Hopefully I won’t fail on either point! Thanks!
So excited to follow this blog Bud! Great first post
Bud, this is awesome! I love your mentality, my boyfriend also has the same and would probably enjoy reading your blog, I am going to send it to him. Have fun and keep it up 🙂 this blog will be a great success I’m sure!
We’ll done!

YES, Bud. This is fantastic. You are wonderful!
