One of my favorite things to do with the boys some evenings while Mommy is finishing dinner is to head down to the basement, plug my iPod into my old college speakers and rock out. Yesterday, at the end of a long holiday weekend, we decided to have some fun and made our own music video to one of [...]

It’s Thanksgiving, and with it comes the big meal, which this year we hosted at our house with my wife’s family visiting. This is good, since it means we don’t have to drive anywhere (although we did that last weekend anyway) and bad, since we have to get the house ready and prepare the meal. [...]

As the stones spun underneath the tires of our minivan, I willed a renewed sense of trust in my GPS to safely navigate our way back to the interstate and traces of civilization. The gravel path twisted for about half a mile until it came to a section with three double-wide trailers that were littered [...]

Tonight Mommy made us a fantastic pasta dinner and then headed off to the store, leaving Daddy to handle bed time with the three boys. We managed to get through dinner and we all headed upstairs so I could get the baby ready for bed and feed him a bottle. Just as I was about [...]

I never know what to expect from our weekends. They tend to be hectic and fleeting. Last night, however, it all seemed to come together and provided one of those memorable evenings that I can think back to when I’m sitting in my hotel room on Sunday night, back in Florida (again) for business.

My wife and I have an understanding about my business trips – she toughs it out with the kids by herself while I’m gone, but upon my return, I’m on major kid duty the following weekend. To paraphrase Dylan, she has to find some way out – she needs some relief. So when duty called [...]

I’m writing this on the plane at 30,000 feet, Friday afternoon returning from a week-long business trip to Fort Lauderdale. Four days of a beautiful hotel, 85 degree weather, three pools, right on the ocean. None of which I got to enjoy as I was in meetings all day. Four days is a long time to be [...]

I was away in Florida while the Yankees won the championship, so I’d posted this picture in the meantime. What a nice feeling to see life back to normal with the Yankees on top again. 27th World Championship and 5th in my lifetime of being a fan. Missed the parade down the Canyon of Heros, [...]
