Ashes

My worst fear, outside of anything happening with my wife or kids, is dementia.  I’m paralyzed by it sometimes.  My grandmother had it and I saw what it did to my Mom and our family.  It was brutal.  My Uncle Mike was diagnosed with dementia a couple years ago.  This guy, in the coolest way...

18 Words….

I write this story on the 11th of December.  A dreary, meaningless sort of day.   A day in New England that the sun will stay away from.  The darkness will win on this day as it appears.  As I reflect on this December 11th though I have a completely different view of it.  Dinner plans...

Saturdays

For me there is before kids, during kids and after kids. When you are in the during kids phase it's a bit like the NCAA basketball tournament slogan, survive and advance. Get to the next day, the next game with the least amount of injuries possible. I was sitting last night talking to my wife... Continue Reading →

Used to

Every time I think to myself about giving up on God or whatever I believe in at the time I get reminded that there is something bigger. I've believed in many different versions of "something is out there", whether that was God, The Sun, Nothing, My boyhood idol (still do), but each time I think... Continue Reading →

The Art Studio Café

On Sunday, February 16th my wife and I went to an incredible restaurant.  It was opening night for the restaurant, The Art Studio Café.  I tried to use yelp to see if the chef had worked anywhere previously.  I did not have any luck.   We were greeted by a lovely waitress who presented us with...

Valentine's Day was incredibly perfect this year, and I saw my wife for maybe 15 minutes total.  We worked all day, and by the time the wife and kids and I all got home my oldest daughter and I had a date.  See, we watch Survivor together.  If you read my blog it's probably been...

Big

I wear the clothes, drive the car, pay the mortgage, and have lost the hair, but I still feel like a little kid, forever waiting for Zoltar to turn me back into that insecure 12 year boy I remember.  My body is all of 39 years old, but I'm Tom Hanks in Big.  Finding myself in... Continue Reading →

A Life Sentence

As he held his lovers hand a tear slowly ran down his face.  Although they had spent close to 65 years together he was not ready to say goodbye.  He clenched her hand tightly as she slowly began to take her last breaths.  Their children and grandchildren had come by each day the last week...
