Today Little Dude is off on a field trip. One of the requirements for said trip is a sack lunch. Now, my son has both a Spider-Man and a Superman lunch box, but the note seemed to stress something “disposable.” Thus I asked the boy if he’d like a picture on his lunch sack, to [...]

“Daddy! I have to draw a house on your head!” is not something I ever expected to hear in my life. Ever. Thankfully my son is easily distracted. Still… there’s few things so unnerving as a six year-old’s intent gaze while he’s holding up a marker close to your face.
This afternoon, while working on some simple math homework, my son told me that he simply just couldn’t continue. When I inquired as to why, I was told “My hands are too little, Daddy.”
Ah. I understand completely.
All too often the obstacles in life have knocked me down, set upon me with slings and arrows because [...]
I meant to post an update to Winter Shut-In 2009, namely that electricity had been restored roughly around 4pm EST, but with the hustle and bustle of trying to verify the power, vacate our hotel room and then me coming to work, no pictures were taken and I was exhausted. However, all was well!
Then it [...]
It is perhaps one of worst curses imaginable… while I would not exactly describe myself as an “early riser” I am certainly capable and called upon to do so. Unfortunately, the rest of my family appears to be stalwart night owls and most definitely NOT morning people.
Yes, I’m looking at YOU, Little Dude.

On December 22 of 2002, after 16 hours of labor, my wife gave birth to a small boy of 5 lbs 14.5 ozs and 19″. I knew he was destined to be the end of me since he began experiencing respiratory problems shortly after birth due to a heart valve not closing properly. [...]
The Little Man hasn’t cared much for talking to that Infamous Elf of the Northern Wastes the last couple years, but apparently the school system made it clear that if you talk to the Rotund One, presents appear.
The funny thing being, this photo was taken on the Little Dude’s second visit. The first time he [...]
My son is often a font of amusement, confusion and wonder. Like this morning for instance. While my wife and I packed various necessities for her sojourn to visit a good friend and her family for Thanksgiving (I would be sleeping since I worked last night and must work this evening as well), the muse [...]
Much like the noble vampire, I sleep through the day so that I may work during the night. However, it appears that a dark and malevolent force took advantage of my slumber today. Strange — dare I say prankish — calls were made from my cellular phone while I lay a-snooze. Thankfully, someone made me [...]
Yesterday was a big day.
The wife and I took Little Dude to get his pre-kindergarten eye exam. Shocking beyond belief is that the progeny of two extremely near-sighted people has almost perfect vision. Not so shocking was that Little Dude messed with the heads of everyone trying to evaluate his vision by deliberately misnaming the [...]
