Quiet

I used to start work at 6 am everyday.  I loved it because I was done with work by 4 or so and I had a little bit of sunlight left in the day.  I adjusted my life around these hours.  I found a gym that opened at 4:30 a.m so that when I was... Continue Reading →

Quinn

Saturday started off as a pretty normal day in my house.  There was some excitement later as the oldest was getting home from a week at her favorite camp later that day.  The week with her gone is great, she has a blast and we just have one less body to bump into when trying... Continue Reading →

Dancing feet

I got to watch my oldest daughter work on her solo at her dance studio today. Usually I sit in the car in the parking lot and she just comes out whenever she is done but for some reason today I decided to wait in the lobby. After a few minutes she must have heard... Continue Reading →

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 →

I'm just going to open this story begging for you to just give me a chance.  Don't let the parts where I sound like a Neanderthal cloud this story.  Remember I am constantly trying to evolve, trying to open my eyes up to new things.  But, for lots of things my eyes have always been closed. ...

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...
