Welcome to the party, pal!

Thanks for stopping by! Being a dad is a unique challenge, the winding path through which is fraught with successes and failures. I'm only three months in right now, and the hand brake on this roller coaster is broken beyond repair. And you'll be able to hear (read) all about it on this site!

Day 76

The babe in his watery domain.

Day 75

I haven't seen a whole lot of Miles this week. Between work, trivia, and his 6:30-7:00 bedtime, there haven't been many instances of conscious interaction between us.

Day 72

Ready for adventure!

Day 70

Miles is a little too young to fully appreciate comics, but that hasn't stopped me from priming him! Excelsior!

Day 69

While his mother and I were gallivanting around town (both with and without each other), Miles got to spend the day with his grandparents and aunts. I'm honestly not sure who enjoyed it more. Personally, I got to attend Free Comic Book Day and go to the Charlotte Symphony in the evening, I so know … Continue reading Day 69 →

Somebody's not a Bob Seger fan! And things were going so well...
