I’ve gone on and on previously as to why my comic book reading is few and far between these days, likely taking me the full gamut from childhood comic fan to young adult comic aficionado to now being that parent who will one day tell my son that those funnybooks were ‘better in my day!’Continue reading “Blasts from the past”

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”
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!”
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”
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…”
Wordless Wednesday – Superbaby
As of now we’re HERE…………………………………before you know it, we’ll be HERE
Fall into Spring
The weather has been changing lately. The temperatures rising, the grass becoming a little greener, a little longer, and the air filled with the smells of pollen and barbecues. There’s no doubt that spring is here, but in case we take it for granted, mother nature gave us a nice little reminder of why it’sContinue reading “Fall into Spring”
He moves!!
It’s certainly been an interesting two weeks in the milestone department. Just about two weeks ago, our little guy suddenly went from just rolling around on the floor (something we have to be careful of in our living room, as the previous owners just threw very thin carpeting over hardwood, with no padding between), toContinue reading “He moves!!”
Welcome to (the new) Neighborhood
Around the time I was pre-school aged, as well as before, my day was incomplete if it didn’t involve a visit from Fred Rogers. I even had a sweater and pair of sneakers that I would pull out of the closet at the start of each show, climb onto (what seemed at the time toContinue reading “Welcome to (the new) Neighborhood”
The Circle of Life
“Lord, what fools these mortals be!” – Puck, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 3, Scene 2 I had a very jarring moment recently that out of nowhere caused me to start thinking about mortality. Notably, my own. Throughout the course of my life, I’ve rarely given it thought, or if I did, only in darkContinue reading “The Circle of Life”
