Despite leaving TV news behind me some months back, I made a brief return to television recently. I had the absolute pleasure recently of appearing on the mid-morning program, “Mass Appeal” to talk about some of the lessons learned during my first year of fatherhood. Unfortunately, WordPress does not allow me to embed the videoContinue reading “Generating some Mass Appeal”

Whose success are we working toward?
The other day I was in the car and flipping through radio stations when I came across a program where a Brit and an American were talking about the term ‘success.’ At one point, the Brit talked about how the perception of what success is, is vastly different in America than in some other countries.Continue reading “Whose success are we working toward?”
I’m sending this note…to the future!
Sometimes I do something that just pleasantly surprises me when I come across it later (as opposed to the things where I later ask ‘why in the world did i do that?!’) In September, I took our air conditioners out of the windows. While one is small, the one for our downstairs is rather largeContinue reading “I’m sending this note…to the future!”
Feels like the first time
Remember your first? No, no, no. I don’t mean that. (Get your mind out of the gutter.) I mean many moons before that, when some of you picked up your first comic book to give it a read. Chances are that if you’re like me, it stuck and you’ve been reading them ever since. EveryoneContinue reading “Feels like the first time”
Stop the clock, I don’t want to get old
I am afraid of getting old. A few weeks back, my wife’s grandfather turned 92 years old and in honor of that rather impressive achievement, we took the baby with us to pay him a visit in the nursing home. This is where I need to be completely up front and honest – I don’tContinue reading “Stop the clock, I don’t want to get old”
“We thought we had lost him”
It all happened a week ago today. I don’t think Meg or I have ever had moments as terrifying as the ones we experienced last week. I don’t know how more bluntly I could put it other than, we thought our little man had left us. For me, it was Friday night and I hadContinue reading ““We thought we had lost him””
Wordless Wednesday – Our Little Antiquer
Exit, Stage Right
Before our son was born, my wife and I were very active in community theatre. Heck, that’s even how we met, both cast in the same show many, many moons ago. We were both, whether separately or together, in usually two shows a year, but devoting a lot of our time to the theatre whereContinue reading “Exit, Stage Right”
365 days later…
Where in the world does the time go? Like a flash of light, our little boy’s birthday was upon us in the blink of an eye. It seems like only yesterday we were welcoming him back home to the cats, a slew of visitors, and introducing him to this thing called life for the veryContinue reading “365 days later…”
For the love of Mo!
Storytime has pretty much become ritual in our house. Aside from dinnertime and bath time, it’s the other consistent that’s needed for a complete wrap-up of our day. We started very early reading to the little guy (in utero) and have carried it over practically every night since. In fact, we’re now at a pointContinue reading “For the love of Mo!”
