I had a bit of an adventure today and would love to share the full details. The only problem is I also spent the entire evening in Papa mode. Don’t get me wrong, Papa mode is awesome. Me and my little guy played and sang and danced. We laughed and even tickled a little. The … More Almost Bedtime
My son eats. A lot. He is a few months shy of being two, but he eats the same as some adults I know. Since he is still limited in his ability to eat certain foods, it sometimes means making two separate meals at dinner time. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m about to talk … More Feeding my Son
My little guy woke up early this morning. Since i woke up as well we ended up spending a good portion of time together. Although it is an exhausting way to spend time, playing with a little cuddle bug, dancing guy is a hilarious way to spend the morning.. But after four hours I was … More Fathering Day
Three nights a week I pick my son up from daycare. For the past few months it has been freezing much too cold (to steal from the West Wing.) When it is that cold I feel my only real choice is to take the bus back. Buses here are nice and run fairly on time, … More Walking home with Leo
Short post. It is 10:15 at night and instead of getting sleepy my one-year old is dancing. Please just go to sleep. I want to take a shower.

Yesterday I wrote from a place of anger. Today it is all about love. I got to spend most of the day with these two wonderful individuals. Together we had a nice big meal and then spent the next several hours running through empty halls and playing hide and go seek around huge columns. Every … More A New Day
It’s been a long day in the life of Brent. Nothing has been bad, so there isn’t really a dramatic story to tell. But there have been many moving pieces. Going to work, teaching classes to some great kids (and some not so great ones), ending early, meeting Rika for such in a restaurant that … More Long Day
At the end of college I was accepted into the JET Programme. This enabled me to move to Japan and work as a teacher in local high schools. JET came with a one-year contract that was renewable originally for three years, but ultimately this was extended to five. My original plan was to stay for … More I’m an Immigrant
When did it begin? What was the start process? I have a 20 month old child. He is amazing. He laughs and cries and hugs and lives. And thinks. He puts things together and discovers something new. He watches and wonders and experiments. He tries hard all the time. He wants to do more. Be … More He’s Thinking
