Weekend Travel
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010So, hey. I’ve been off the grid for a while. In fact, got back on Sunday night, but it’s amazing how much catch-up you have to do after being off the grid for so long. As it happens, we were up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for the wedding of one of my brothers. [...]
Stay At Home Dad
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009As Tarri reminded me last night, this is actually something I’ve been comfortable with for a long time. We started dating back in 1997, and it was shortly after that, in one of those “what do you want to be when you grow up” college conversations that I laid that one on her. I mean, [...]

Her name is Alexa Marie and she was born June [...]

I Can’t Go To Bed…
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009My son’s favorite new game is to tell us what he can’t do. “I can’t eat spaghetti,” he says, when we tell him it’s time for dinner. Usually followed up with, “I want to eat spaghetti!” Kind of maddening, but it’s also easily defeated by just telling him to go ahead and do whatever it [...]
