Words that sometimes mean something to someone maybe
I taught my God Daughter at 2 years old to say the word Shit. Because, it's funny. And I thought I could piss off her Mom a little bit. Give her another challenge with raising her beautiful little girl. Plus, I've never been an Uncle or a God Father but I thought that is what... Continue Reading →
As a Dad of two “performers” I have struggled to find where I fit in this part of their lives. The stage scares me; I prefer writing to performing, so being on a stage would be the last place you would ever find me. My kids are really good at what they do, one being a... Continue Reading →
My youngest, Kiley, has this new thing where she wants to be able to jump and touch the ceiling in my kitchen. She started this a couple of months ago but was sort of lightly jumping. She would walk into the kitchen, make herself some toast and while it was heating she would just try... Continue Reading →
My youngest daughter Kiley, who is 11, asks me about God all the time. Do I believe? If I do, how do I know? I try to be as honest as I can with my kids. My wife really pushes honesty with them; she parents in a very open style. I am a little more “hide... Continue Reading →

My wife’s family is small and big at the same time. She only has a few aunts and uncles, but she has a million cousins, 2nd cousins, Aunts who are really 3rd cousins… It is actually a little confusing from the outside. But, they are really close. The labels might be screwed up, but... Continue Reading →
The US calendar has lots of Monday Holidays. I love Monday Holidays! An extra day off work, or for me, an extra day in the yard to get stuff done and an extra day to yell at the kids to clean their rooms. A few years ago, on Martin Luther King Jr Day, I was... Continue Reading →
My extended family is incredibly large. I have something like 20 aunts and uncles on each one of my parent’s sides of the family. That includes “real” aunts and uncles and the ones who married into one of these crazy families. I remember when we were planning, or should I say, my wife was... Continue Reading →
