And another thing…
What’s with all the crying?!
Yes, it’s another thing no one told me about when I signed up for this gig. As I told you, I didn’t know to get the owners manual like everyone else did when we had our first daughter. And I was too tired to remember to ask for it […]

Last week, L.A. Mommy and I had a chance to act like we were young again.
We hired a babysitter and went out to a concert to see a band we’ve loved since the early MTV days and the delightful John Hughes movies from the 80’s. I’ve never seen The Psychedelic Furs before so I was […]

Two very smart, very ornery and very beautiful little girls. Both with huge personalities. I love them to death.
And I wouldn’t change a thing.
I was at a birthday party for the kid of my wife’s co-worker. It wasn’t quite my crowd. People who make a lot of money, live in expensive houses, and drive Porsches. […]

Had fun this weekend. One of our friends gave her husband Cleveland Indians tickets for this birthday. We were invited along. So, we dropped the kids off at grandpa’s place - luckily enough, on the way up - and went to the game.

This was my first sporting event after moving back from L.A. And it […]

Well, here we are — in October. This year has just flown by.
We’ve got 15 days now before we have to be completely out of our townhouse and into our new home. Were we busy packing and moving boxes this past weekend? Nope… we took another break. But this was a good break — L.A. […]

Our little baby’s growing up. Fast.
L.A. Baby took her first successful steps out at grandpa’s house a few weekends ago. Her first step… well, two steps. She’s only about 9 and half months old. L.A. Toddler didn’t walk until she was almost a year.
But my lovely wife tells me that this is the case with […]

So, the moving process has begun.
Ten years in the same house and we’ve accumulated a lot of crap. You never realize how much until you start to think about moving. I ordered a dumpster that arrived last Friday and I’ve been filling it up ever since.
We’ve been packing and tossing, tossing and packing. And when […]

It was an early morning yesterday;
I was up before the dawn.
And I really have enjoyed my stay;
But I must be moving on.

Is this goodbye for L.A. Daddy? Not… really. Not like that. The daddy part still remains, for sure. It’s the L.A. thing some might have a contention with.
What the hell am I talking about?
Allow […]

Changing the sheets is a bitch…

We don’t. Not really. We kind of do Valentine’s Day… Sort of.
How’s that for commitment?!
Well, for those of you who do Valentine’s — I hope it’s a happy one.
For years, men have complained that it’s a “corporate holiday created by greeting card companies and florists.” I’m in that crowd, I guess. The day has always […]
