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 [...]

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: [...]

This kid is definitely my Mini-Me It’s been two years since Harper made the transition from Mommy’s little parasite to Daddy’s little sidekick. From the moment he was born, we’ve become nearly inseparable. During those first days in the hospital, I took over most of the feedings and snuggles. I wasn’t consciously trying [...]

Father’s Day is one month away, so I decided to take a moment and make a list of my ideal gifts this year. I seriously doubt I’ll get any of these things, but it’s nice to dream. 1. New laptop or fix one of my broken laptops. Rhonda and I are both computer addicts, [...]

{EAV_BLOG_VER:a2625597308cbea3} Image via Wikipedia 1. Game of Thrones – I’ve heard complaints about certain casting choices and what some consider a slow start, and I guess both are fair. Sean Bean is nothing like how I imagined Ned Stark and I always pictured Robert Barantheon taller than Mark Addy, Jon Snow taller and [...]

Image by Getty Images via @daylife When I pulled up to the gas station today, I saw two small children climb out of a car and begin running through the parking lot. A young guy – twenty at the oldest, but I would guess closer to sixteen or seventeen – intercepted the [...]

#The #kid #probably #writes #better #posts #than #her #father I know it’s a very popular niche lately but, as a general rule, I loathe “daddy bloggers” I probably would not be able to stand “mommy bloggers”, either, but I don’t get very much exposure to that side of the coin. Because I am [...]

The first time I met my Grandpa Gene, the man terrified me. His daughter, the woman who would become my mom in every way that mattered, had been dating my father for a short time and we were all living in a bedroom of Gene and Helen’s house. Grandpa Gene was a long-haul truck [...]

We heard back from T today, and she had a VERY good reason for effectively “disappearing”. I can’t talk about details. While T has no reason to be ashamed or feel she must keep what happened a “secret”, it’s not my story to tell. It’ll have to be enough of a conclusion for you [...]
