Every now and then I like to use a picture I took or a moment from my life and imagine it as the basis for a fantasy story. This picture is from my neighborhood in Savannah, GA. It was the most nature my son, from Tokyo, has ever seen. And, yes, the little details in … More Field of Leaves
Earlier this week I wrote about how amazing my wife is and how that makes me want to step up in being a good father and husband. I started writing that post while they (wife and son) were in the bath. When I left for work that day a powerful moment occurred. Before leaving for … More Duality of Fathering
Today marks a week since we have returned to Japan. I can’t quite decide if this past week has flown by or crawled by. I look at all the things we have yet to accomplish and wonder if the time has gone a bit too fast. It doesn’t help us hit our goals when our … More Wife and Mother
We are still in the start of a New Year and the start of another attempt at blogging everyday. So far the results have been pleasing and there have been a few new people clicking on this site. I’m using that as a bit of motivation to introduce myself yet again to the internet world. … More Who I Am
We’ve had a pretty busy few days. All things considered the travel from my parents’ house in America to our apartment in Japan takes about 24 hours. And since I can’t really sleep on planes that makes it an exceptionally long day. The flight itself was uneventful, if long. The crew was friendly and customs … More Tuckered Out

My apartment feels small. If you enjoyed this post, please like my Facebook author page and become a patron through … More Safe and Sound
In a few minutes my family is going to sit down to dinner. This will be our last dinner together for a while. It is 7:13 and my son is already asleep. I don’t know if he will wake up tonight or sleep through until morning. My wife and I have spent a good part … More The Last Night
I sit down to write this and realize that where I live it is already 2017. Currently I am visiting my parents and the world is still a year behind. Around my home New Years means lots of watching football and in between singing songs and walking around the neighborhood I’ve managed to introduce my … More The First Yet Again
It’s winter time ad the air around us is getting pretty chilly. Sometimes it is even downright cold. Like many parents I face the daily struggle of trying to keep my boy warm. Sometimes he lets this be an easy task. He cooperates when I go to put on his socks and jacket. Most of … More My Boy’s Hat
Tomorrow my son will be 11 months old. In just a few hours I will be the father of an 11 month old. If you take even a moment you can find countless accounts of how tiring babies can be. And those are true. I like to think Leo is a fairly easy little guy … More 11 Months Old
