I’m still not used to the idea that I am a dad. It’s been over two years now, but it still hasn’t completely entered my mind that this day includes me. I still think about my own Dad. We are much alike, the two of us. I get a lot of my humor from my … More Reflections on Father’s Day
I woke up this morning and as I start to get moving the Mrs whispers to me “Leo got a fever during the night. He threw up. He needs to stay home from daycare today.” At the same time three thoughts flooded my mind. I didn’t need to wake up and could just linger in … More Leo had a Fever
My boy is just a hair over two years old, and there are so many ways that I see bits of myself in him. There are some simple things. He has a love of books and a love of music. His favorite activities seem to be singing, dancing, and reading. Reading and singing are certainly … More Like Father Like Son
My goodness ho the time moves. It seems not so long ago that he was just this little bundle. All the little cliches about tiny babies and how quick they grow are true. Without pictures it’s hard to remember each little stage. They’re just dots that flick by to be replaced by something new. Too … More I’ve Got a Two Year Old

This is going to be quick. My son is feeling better and is back to playing at full power. The Mrs and I are both a little worn out, but hearing that big laugh of his makes it worth it. Tomorrow will probably be a full day of dancing and running with the little guy. … More Feeling Better
The cherry blossoms are in bloom. My son and I are walking home from daycare. He’s been sick and a little unhappy with me the last few days. I think it’s because he sees me as keeping him away from Mommy. The reality is that we both have responsibilities and need to trade off at … More Night Sakura
My son has been home sick the past few days. The Mrs. and I have been doing our best to loom after him, and it looks like he will be able to return to daycare tomorrow. Which is great, because both of us are pretty worn out. Between her finishing her art project and my … More A Little Cold
Rika Thomas is a superstar. There are many, many reasons for me to say that. The one I’m focusing on for the moment is her art. She did the cover and interior illustrations for my novel, Deadly Troubadours, and she has agreed to do the same for the sequel. The style she uses for those … More My Talented Wife
I’m still fighting with my sinus/ear infection. I’ve been told it isn’t really that contagious, so that’s good. Every now and then there is a touch of dizziness or a stab of pain. But that kind of feels like a ‘such is life’ statement. Despite not feeling my best, there is still a little guy … More Fathering in Sickness
