For the expectant father.

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Dads — No Comments ↓

This post is largely inspired by my two brothers, each of whom are soon to be fathers. I have tried to gently work in some advice to them, but their day is coming soon and its time to rip the Continue reading →

Posted on November 6, 2011 by Dads — No Comments ↓

Rather than recreate cycle of the weekend, here are the highlights that help explain the world I live in: Saturday afternoon: C (age 7): Dad, I’m bored! Dad: Only boring people get bored. M (age 5): Yeah, I’m bored too. Continue reading →

Posted on August 17, 2011 by Dads — No Comments ↓

Posted on May 4, 2011 by Dads — No Comments ↓

Man of Steel

Posted on April 28, 2011 by Dads — No Comments ↓

For Father’s Day last year, the boys found a pair of Superman boxers that they thought would be perfect for me. My darling wife, ever watching my back, thought it would be amusing to appease them. And so, I have Continue reading →

In awe of single parents

Posted on April 3, 2011 by Dads — No Comments ↓

Disclaimer: I am not, nor do I claim to be, a single parent. This post is merely to express my continuing awe at those who are. Disclaimer 2: I am not encouraging single parenthood, but if I was, who cares? It’s not Continue reading →
