Poop Saturday

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 →

Drive with your knees

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...

Detox

Recently, my wife downloaded an app on our family cell phones where it can track where you are, can send messages, alerts and things like that.  I found myself checking it and calling her to see “why are you in Rockland?”  She mentioned something about her work, but it really made me angry.  I was...

One Sentence

Yesterday my wife was filling out a profile for her work and was asked this “tell me one interesting thing about you?”  I thought about it and didn’t have a quick easy thing to say.  What would I say about myself and why could I not think of something to say about my wife? When... Continue Reading →

Barry Ellis

This one should be a quick story.  Sara Bareilles is a super famous singer.  My wife and I have really liked her music for a long time.  And when my oldest was born the CD in the car was Sara Bareilles so we heard the songs on her first CD called Little Voice approximately 8,500...

2nd Child

My youngest daughter asked me all the time in these stories “why do you say ‘my wife’ or ‘my kids’ instead of using our names.  I would tell her that it was because I was trying to keep them protected, that they never asked to be in my stories and I wasn’t sure I had... Continue Reading →

Sing From Your Toes

My kids are stage performers.  They aren’t soccer players or baseball players; they are singers, dancers, cheerleaders, and actresses.   It’s a world I am still in complete awe of.   They LOVE the stage.  My youngest is a mess leading up to a cheer performance.  The morning of she and my wife basically scream at each...

The Old Sweatshirt

I've been thinking lately about my favorite sweatshirt that I own currently.  It is this navy blue quarter zip that I have had for years.  I’m not sure when it became my favorite, when it became the sweatshirt that I would bring everywhere, first to be packed for a trip, always making its way into...

Neil

Today, I’m going to write about Neil Young. Okay, so like most of my stories it will probably be more about me than Neil Young, but let's at least start with him. If you are familiar with music I’m sure you have heard of him.  I first heard of him when he did an album... Continue Reading →

Toy Story

The wife and I got to do something really cool last week and show our kids another memory of Us.  We got to show them how “we” started. If you have ever been to Disney you know it is a pretty cool place.  Obviously it costs a billion dollars, but if you are doing it... Continue Reading →
