We have a bit of a commute in the morning, the little guy and I. Breaking it down to even numbers, it’s about a half hour for us to get to his grandmother’s house in the morning, and then another half hour (roughly, maybe slightly less) for daddy to get to work from there. NeedlessContinue reading “Classical Car Rides”

Why Superman matters
I recently mentioned how, while home with the baby being sick, I spent some time watching cartoons on Netflix. The two animated films I watched while the baby napped were Justice League: Doom and Superman vs the Elite, both part of the ongoing releases of animated movies across the DC Comic Universe from Bruce TimmContinue reading “Why Superman matters”
Odd new birthday tradition
This past weekend I turned 33 and one of the things everybody asks me is “what did you do for your birthday?” The non-intrusive answer is “spent time with the family,” but the real answer is – I got sick. And so did Meg. And so was the baby. It’s oddly becoming a bit ofContinue reading “Odd new birthday tradition”
Two guys just hanging out on Valentine’s Day
I spent this Valentine’s Day with our little guy. As we’re still battling the croup (and its effects slowly making its way into mommy and daddy’s adult-sized bodies now), we’ve been alternating taking days from work so that someone can stay with the little guy at home while he’s sick and administer his nebulizer treatments.Continue reading “Two guys just hanging out on Valentine’s Day”
Night Terrors
Night Terrors. Even the name sounds scary, doesn’t it? Well, that’s because it is, for both child and parent alike. Fortunately for a lot of people, not every child goes through it, I’m told, and I’ve asked around and found that only a small percentage of parents I ask had a clue as to whatContinue reading “Night Terrors”
Open your eyes to the world
One of the great things about fatherhood is how my son often reminds me of the vast number of things we take for granted each day, what we look at as “old hat.” My wife was giving our little guy a bath in the sink last night, something that he always seems to enjoy. TheContinue reading “Open your eyes to the world”
The ‘Singular Sensation’ that can be a date night
You can take a lot for granted before you have a kid. Before our son was born, I never thought of how easily we would come and go from the house, run an errand here and there, pick up some groceries, or grab a bite to eat, without giving it a second thought. Now, goingContinue reading “The ‘Singular Sensation’ that can be a date night”
New Year’s Eve with Nick and Nora Charles
A new year – a clean slate or a mere flip of the calendar page? For some, it’s about making sure they’re at the right party, with the right person, and the right drink in their hand. For others, it’s a time to reflect on the past and look to a future yet to beContinue reading “New Year’s Eve with Nick and Nora Charles”
Color blind?
During one of our favorite weekend rituals (a cup of tea and watching CBS Sunday Morning), I came across this report that I really found interesting. I thought you might too: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50137957n (sorry. WordPress won’t allow me to directly embed the video, but please give it a click and a watch) It’s amazing to seeContinue reading “Color blind?”
Each Man’s Life Touches So Many Other Lives…
Tonight we watched a holiday favorite and a staple in our DVD collection, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” With a five month old now added to the mix, I admit that our movie viewing habits have drastically reduced, or have become divided into segments. After all, any time we get where he is napping is usuallyContinue reading “Each Man’s Life Touches So Many Other Lives…”
