10 Minutes

We NEVER get to sit and have a family dinner with just us.  Just myself, my wife and our two daughters.  Everyone is always so busy.  My wife never stops moving.  Going from work at one job to the next or meeting with my daughters cheer gym as she is one of the "team moms"... Continue Reading →

MOVE THAT BALL ACROSS THAT LINE…

As I sat at the latest dance/cheer competition with my girls I did wonder how the hell I got here.  This was a high school competition so my daughter's dance team had an exhibition while the cheerleading teams were part of the actual competition.  So, I got to sit with my youngest and watch all...

Peppermint Pattie

For as long as I can remember I have been a criminal.  All my friends were, while I was growing up, but it was sort of innocent.  We would have competitions to see who could steal the most gum from the convenient store without getting caught.  Or, we would ask the guy behind the counter...

You’re stuck with me….

This is a letter to my best little buddy in the whole world.  She can't read it yet, but hopefully someday she will be able to.  She already knows a few letters in the alphabet so that day is probably closer than ever.  But, she won't be surprised by anything that is said in this...

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...

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 →

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 →

North End

This weekend was one of "those" weekends.  Beautiful weather, filled with family and friends and burgers for almost every meal.  Lots and lots of Vitamin C.  One of those weekends that can only happen in New England.  Where the weather has sucked for months and BOOM, all the sudden,  all is right in the world. ...

The Candy Man

Recently, I went to watch my 8 foot tall 21 year old cousin play in a lacrosse tournament in his final year of college.  It was great that the tournament was local and that lots of my family was able to go and see him.  Although, many of us were completely confused about this weird...

What’s the score?

Sunday was a HUGE game for my favorite team in the world.  Hockey is my sport, and the Boston Bruins are my team.  if you don't know or follow I will catch you up.  They were down three games to two in a best of seven series.  Winner of this moves on to the next round.  You need...
