I don’t know why, but I haven’t really talked about a major deadline that my wife and I are facing. On October 28, Quentin Xavier is due to be born. And, as everyone knows, a due date is really just a guess, so he could be born at any moment. I had planned to [...]

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 – [...]

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, [...]

Image via Wikipedia That whole “Thirty Days…” thing was starting to feel like a grind, and that last post was pretty heavy, so I’m going to take a step back for a day or two and talk about some lighter things. You may have picked up on this, but I don’t see my [...]

We’re hitting a stretch of questions that are going to feel really tedious for me, either because the answer is completely obvious or the answer is pretty much nobody or nothing. But I made a commitment, so let’s get this over with. Who makes my life worth living? My wife and kids, obviously (see [...]

Image via Wikipedia First and foremost, I believe that my wife and kids are the best thing that ever happened to me and that, because of them, I am and constantly strive to be a better man. I believe there is most likely some kind of higher power. I don’t believe it [...]
