So today is my birthday. It’s also Princess Diana’s Death Day, but the bitch ain’t stealing my day. I’ll fight her for it. To the death, if I have to. Anyway, I’m 32, so I don’t really get presents anymore. Rhonda, however, apparently never received that memo, and thank God for that. She decided [...]

Getting our walk on Because I’ve been horrible about updating, you probably don’t know that Nick started kindergarten this month. His adjustment to the school‘s rules and routines has been…interesting. But that’s a post for another day. I’ve had to do some adjusting, too. The school is five blocks from our house, and [...]

In 2003, I moved home to get my life back in order after three years of living out-of-state and not visiting. Three days after I got there, my mom died in her sleep. During the funeral and the healing afterward, only one person brought up a question that nobody wanted to consider – [...]

This is a weird one, but Harper endorsed it by dancing along, which makes it good enough for me! Great editing to make Cookie dance along! Harper spent the whole video mimicking his moves and was totally fooled into thinking it was actually Cookie Monster singing. Now if we can just get [...]

Image via Wikipedia I have become terrified of layoffs. I spent the first year of Harper‘s life unemployed after I was laid off. Granted, I knew from the moment I started that job that I would eventually be laid off and being a stay at home dad was far from the worst [...]

Via BoingBoing, I came across two free, online games – both commissioned by British Broadcaster Channel 4 – designed to help teens explore and form their own views on concepts that not many parents discuss with their children. Taken from The End’s press page: The End is a free, online web-game commissioned by Channel 4 Education, [...]

I was on full Daddy duty this weekend. As soon as Nick got out of school Friday afternoon, he and I jumped in the car and drove nine hours from Gulfport, MS, to Clermont, FL, for Jude’s birthday. I was slightly worried about having to deal with a cranky five-year old in the car [...]

Damn it’s hard knowing how to start this, and it’s not even a “tough” post. It’s a bit of fluff, to be honest. But still, it’s hard to convince myself this is really worth writing. It’s probably not, but that’s beside the point. I’ve said it one before, but it bears repeating: [...]

I lay awake at night, terrified that Rhonda will do this to Harper: Also, you definitely should be reading Something Positive. Unless you’re easily offended. In which case, you should grow a pair and get over yourself. Then read Something Positive. Related articles Happy Birthday Harper! (daddygeek.org) [...]
