You never know how paths are going to cross. My wife and I met purely by chance, when a co-worker of mine, when I first started at my current job, convinced me to take part in a community theater production. I made new friends, one of whom, six months later, I would begin dating whenContinue reading “Family ties”

The car seat shuffle
Now that our little guy is inching closer and closer to the one year mark (ten months old already), he is quickly outgrowing many things – clothes, some foods, and his car seat. Since his birth, we’ve carried him around in a Graco car seat carrier, the type that has bases that attach to theContinue reading “The car seat shuffle”
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!!”
Declaration of a Happy Marriage
While cleaning my desk in our home office, I came across an interesting little item. When a baby enters the picture, so much of your focus goes into what it takes to be good parents, that it can be easy to forget about what it takes to be good spouses. Upon our return from ourContinue reading “Declaration of a Happy Marriage”
The Voyage of Life
Please indulge and bear with my reflection as I post this, scribbled down on a loose piece of paper the night before the start of Spring: The large white flakes fell outside the dining room windows a day before the official start of Spring, leaving the backyard, the neighborhood, and many across the northeast blanketedContinue reading “The Voyage of Life”
Sitting around the ol’ radio…sort of
There is something that I find incredibly relaxing and peaceful about listening to an old radio program. It could be the earlier (some clichés would say simpler) times evoked by radio, or maybe it’s the ‘theatre of the mind’ that I find so much more creative than having someone spell it out for us inContinue reading “Sitting around the ol’ radio…sort of”
Let it rain!
I love rainy days. Call me crazy, call me weird, but there’s just something about them that just gets me in a completely, ready-to-create type of mood. It could be the whole subconscious notion that rain means ‘staying indoors’ or maybe it’s just harder to sit down and do something when it’s bright and sunnyContinue reading “Let it rain!”
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”
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”
