1. Today is my birthday! It’s already gone… interestingly. I’m not sure if my boys are in bad moods or if I’m still crotchety from being woken up by Nick rushing into the bedroom to tell me Mommy needs help in a panicked voice while Harper dumped cereal all over the floor and [...]
First of all, look up above. You should see one of two awesome new headers that my wife made for me, because she rules. Also, because she has skills. She also has skills at making jewelry and all sorts of crafty things. Unfortunately for my fellow daddies, male geeks, or daddygeeks, her stuff is mostly geared [...]

1. I very rarely get sick. When I do get sick, though, it seems to stick with me. I’ve had a chronic cough for over a week now and I just can’t seem to get all of the gunk out of my chest. It’s keeping me (and my wife) from getting [...]
In the spirit of establishing a regular posting schedule, I’ve decided to steal an idea from my lovely wife and start doing “Tuesday Ten” posts. It will also be a good way to catch up on what’s gone on during my unintentional hiatus without boring you with a long, tedious post.

One of the hardest things about moving from Florida to Mississippi was leaving Jude, who was really the only reason I didn’t just move here when Rhonda and I met in the first place.

On Retail Me Not, I found a coupon code that saved me 30% off our rental truck from Budget, which I’ve found is generally the cheapest for these one-way moves that I keep finding myself making.
That code doesn’t seem to be available [...]
There's never a bad time for Nick snuggles
There have been a lot of changes since the last time I posted here.
I’m sorry about that, by the way. The longer I go without writing, the harder it is for me to actually start writing. I’ve lost count of how many posts I’ve talked myself out of [...]
To say the last six months have been rough would be an understatement.
In April, I was laid off from my job. I’m not unique in this – something like 539,000 people lost their job that month. I doubt I’m even that unique in that we were expecting a child in a little over a month and [...]
I wasn’t raised in religion, and I’ve always viewed the concept of organized religion with a sort of courteous skepticism. Rhonda was born into a devout family and always expected to marry someone with faith as deep as hers and to raise her children in the Christian Church. I could probably write a dozen posts on [...]
