Elastic Heart

Running full speed to win a race to the ball in a soccer game I just beat my opponent to the ball ( I know, you are surprised) but he stuck his foot out and after I hit the ball I hit his foot and began to fall to the ground.  I braced for impact... Continue Reading →

Stanton Open

This weekend we had our annual (sort of) family golf tournament.  I won't bore you with the history of this tournament, but it is a really fun event, a nice excuse to get together and for my kids to quietly whisper "who's that one?, "what's her name?" and things like that.  This year was great...

The Window

A pane of glass is all that separates him from the outside world.  He waits patiently as his roommates wake from their slumber and frantically rush around the house, bumping into each other and fighting over who gets to splash water all over themselves first.  They quickly eat something, but there are never breakfast scraps left for him.  He knows...

Freeze

I write a lot about how my girls are growing up too fast, how I wish I could freeze time in certain moments.  Like a dumb water balloon fight or a race in the pool with the kids.  Just pull a Zack Morris and freeze the frame.  I sometimes write about how I am excited... Continue Reading →

RBG… or is that Meg?

"There is a very important first on the Supreme Court this term, and it's thanks to our new justice, Justice Kavanaugh, whose entire staff is all women. All of his law clerks are women," she said earlier this month at a event held by Georgetown Law. "And with his four women as law clerks, it's... Continue Reading →

A Weekend Away

This past weekend my wife went on a work trip to a dance conference in Atlantic City.  I'm sure if you ask her, a weekend away from the house, the kids, the annoying husband was something she really was looking forward to.   Go and relax for a weekend, remind yourself you aren't just a boring...

Good Hangovers

Sunday morning I woke up, mowed the lawn and called the kids to see what their plans were for the day.  See, they had slept over their Mammie and Buppa's on Saturday night.  The wife was at a bachelorette party that same night. So, I woke up Sunday to an empty house.  Just hung-over me... Continue Reading →

$ummer

It's July 1st and I am already BROKE from all the stuff my kids are doing on their summer vacation.  Every single day, it's "can I have $40 for this, this and that".  My oldest daughter has been home for what feels like 10 minutes, and my youngest is not far behind.  We had to...
