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…”
Change to the menu
Leaps and bounds, right into the mouth. In the past week, our little guy has added solid foods to his menu. I say solid as in mushy, but heck, it’s certainly something a little more diverse than just milk, I’m sure. Eventually we would like to begin making his food on our own. It’s amazingContinue reading “Change to the menu”
“Why am I such a misfit?”
One of my favorite things about this time of year is some of the movies and Christmas specials that are on television. There’s plenty of good, classic films to talk about, but last night I caught an annual can’t-miss, the 1960s Rankin Bass, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” I love the Rankin Bass stuff, whether it’sContinue reading ““Why am I such a misfit?””
Turning the pages of comics and time…
Sometimes repeating something from your past can make you realize just how much the future has changed. This past weekend, I indulged my inner-dork and met up with some old friends to go to a comic convention about an hour side. It’s one of those occasional traditions that we’ve done since adolescence. Some things haveContinue reading “Turning the pages of comics and time…”
Confessions of a List-Maker
I live by lists, I admit it. Every day, my planner is filled with a myriad of “to-dos” that I set out to try and accomplish, be they personal, work, phone calls, writing projects, blog posts, catching up on e-mail replies, or just things around the house. There’s a great feeling of accomplishment to beContinue reading “Confessions of a List-Maker”
Making ‘cents’ when it comes to education
I think every parent wants their child to have better opportunities than they were able to have, or afford. Just about anyone with a child wants their child to be able to have a better life than their own (and if they don’t, then maybe they should re-think this whole parent thing). With that inContinue reading “Making ‘cents’ when it comes to education”
Oh, poop
I think I’ve hit another milestone of fatherhood. Sure, I had already been sprayed during diaper changes and been spit up on during burpings. But as of this this past weekend, (drum roll please), I was pooped on…right into my hand during a diaper change. 🙂 And all I could do was laugh. That isContinue reading “Oh, poop”
Our latest reads
It’s no secret that I absolutely love reading to my son. I don’t know if, at just a few weeks old, his mind absorbs anything of what I’m actually saying so much as just listening to his father’s voice, but either way, it’s one of my favorite parts of the day. I try very muchContinue reading “Our latest reads”
Regrets, I’ve had a few (tv edition)
Sorry for the Sinatra (or Sid Vicious, based on your musical tastes) reference, but ever since this weekend, I have carried with me a great sense of regret. After our boy got his very first bath in the kitchen sink, I sat him down on my lap and watched some classic 1940s Donald Duck cartoons.Continue reading “Regrets, I’ve had a few (tv edition)”
