My wife has decided to jump back into theatre. She’s missed it for quite some time, as it was a very large part of her life for so long (and how we met), but we both felt when she was pregnant that it was best to step away from the stage and take some timeContinue reading “Guys’ Nights – Bonding, Learning…”

Shattered
I learned how to remove (and eventually replace) a window pane on a French door recently. Why such a specific lesson, you ask? Because while playing around and being a little maniac, as little kids are supposed to be, our little guy used his head to shatter one of the panes on the doors leadingContinue reading “Shattered”
Potty mouth – Improv singing/rhyming gets dangerous
File this one under ‘a close one.’ Improvisational rhyming in the house takes on a whole new level of caution once you become a parent. Take, for instance, this ditty my wife and I were singing while our son sat on his little potty and ‘gave it a go’ recently… ME: “We’re sittin’ on theContinue reading “Potty mouth – Improv singing/rhyming gets dangerous”
The World According to Mister Rogers
All endings are new beginnings – just one quote among many that I’ve been finding very inspirational as of late. My son recently pulled a book off of our bookshelf and handed it to me. Whether he thought it was one of his enjoyable adventures through Elephant and Piggie’s world or another attempt by cowsContinue reading “The World According to Mister Rogers”
A season of purging, a life (hopefully) more simple
I’m not one for resolutions. Heck, I will fully admit how boring I am that I’m not that into New Year’s at all. Not to sound like a grumpy old man, as I have no ill-will towards people celebrating, it’s just that these days, for me, it’s merely the turn of a calendar page. Hey,Continue reading “A season of purging, a life (hopefully) more simple”
Wordless Wednesday – Merry Christmas!
“A Home for the Holidays” OR “A Monster-ous Update”
Almost nine months ago, I poured my heart out after a frequent four-legged visitor to our backyard, whom Meg and I lovingly nicknamed “Monster” (for the extra toes that came with his Polydactyl nature) showed up again after one of his trademark absences, bloodied and injured. Although we knew we couldn’t keep him with threeContinue reading ““A Home for the Holidays” OR “A Monster-ous Update””
Despite current trends, super-heroes DO get better with age
I’m going to geek out a bit and talk about comic books and families. It’s no secret that I’ve been a reader of comic books for most of my life. The tastes have changed, as have the characters, topics, and nature of it all, but it dawned on me recently that one of the thingsContinue reading “Despite current trends, super-heroes DO get better with age”
The voice from the backseat
There are few things in this world that can instantly put me at ease. As we inch closer to winter, the evenings have become darker all too quick and by the time I pick up my little buddy for our daily trek home, we’re among just one of many pairs of headlights shining through theContinue reading “The voice from the backseat”
Trying to step away from social media and plug into my life
I’ve been feeling the drain again when it comes to social media. I’m not quite sure what it is….an overload, perhaps? Whatever it is, I just find myself borderline depressed at times thinking about how much time I spend on some social media platform like Facebook. Posting updates of what I did today, a greatContinue reading “Trying to step away from social media and plug into my life”
