What It’s Like Being A Parent: Part Two
So, we covered what it’s like being a parent and having to answer UMPTEENFAFILLION questions, last time. But this time, let’s talk about privacy. Privacy, as you knew it parents and non-parents, becomes extinct when you have children. Or at least the version of it that used to be employed. There is no such thing […]
What It’s Like Being a Parent: Part One
My non-parent friends often ask me what it’s like to have children. I usually answer with something sarcastic or sentimental. Or both, just to confuse them. Because screw them and their “free will.” But I’ve decided it’s time I let them in on my life as a dad. In this continuing series, I will journey […]
This 5-Year-Old Roars After Cancer
Something I’ve never told people before… I’ve always wanted to be a pop star. Big time. Like Justin Bieber without all the doucheness. Usher without any of the dance moves. Justin Timberlake without the… um… something. There are so few pop stars to look up to these days and it’s hard to get inspired to […]
Winnie The Vader Is The Coolest
I’ve read so many comic books, kids’ picture books and everything in between that I can’t help imagining random mashups of characters and plot lines. It was inevitable. One of my favorite mashups was done by an amazing artist who put Winnie the Pooh and Star Wars together. The result was amazing. Wookiee the Chew […]
The Evolutionary Progress of Kids’ Games
Listen, I’m not one of those old men sitting in his boxers on the porch spraying people with a hose as they walk all over his lawn. Okay, fine. I am, but with that completely aside, are kids today too coddled and catered to? I think the answer is “yes” and now I have unequivocal […]
What If ‘Full House’ Wasn’t Full?
Did you watch “Full House” growing up? I did. Each character had their shining and whining moments, but the character that never made any sense to me was Michelle. Yes, I’m talking about the cutesy Olson twins who played the single character whose sole purpose was comic relief by way of small smiles and giant […]
Milk In My Sippy Cup (Remix)
I like to make and listen to music. I’m not very good at making it, but I enjoy listening to it. Sometimes, my son will bang on things and I get ideas for melodies or beats. But, again, I’m not super talented at that stuff. This dad, however, is… What do you guys think? ““ […]
5 Years Ago This Very Minute…
I found out we were having our first baby five years ago to this very minute. Rather than tell you about it, why don’t I show you… I was at a staged reading of a friend’s script. We finished up and I felt this urgency from my wife, Avara. It was an energy like I […]

This mashup of 1980s cartoon heroes is the ultimate tribute. I remember them all. Every single one. How did you do? ““ Follow us […]
