Navigating The Stormy Waters Of Fatherhood
You see I told the students that William Shakespeare (assuming you do not believe that he plagiarized his many works) discovered something fascinating. They didn’t believe me. So I leaned in close like I was telling a secret and I repeated the declaration.
Standardized Tests for Parents? We are approaching the second standardized testing session of the year for students. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if parents had to take a standardized test? In honor of the approaching testing week the Captain has helped to develop the first ever standardized test for parents. We…
Parenthood is funny. The longer I’m a parent the more I realize I don’t know what I’m doing. Every now and again I flirt with poetry. This blog has always been more about exploration than anything else. I want to thank my good friend Andre from birthedintofatherhood.com who really helped me rearrange some incoherent thoughts…
Seeing the field isn’t the same as just looking at it. I swear some of the most spiritual moments I have ever had came on a baseball field. I walked past an empty field just yesterday and it was like an old friend was waving. Inviting me to visit. Welcoming me with a warm hug….
It is a pleasure to partner with Clorox. I have been compensated for this post, but my thoughts and words are my own. All product and study claims should be confirmed with the brand. Read on for “A New Beginning”. I had the opportunity to see the results of new research about the effects of…

It’s important to consider where I have been. The fluorescent fanny pack and I have had some fun adventures. Aside from the physical workouts that I’ve had, I have learned a great deal about myself as well – or in some cases, I have remembered things about myself that I have long forgotten. Since the…
Sometimes you just have to keep moving. Sometimes that is a challenge in and of itself. Recently, I learned that even the simple act of walking can make a world of difference. In a world where the latest fitness craze is found on a website or in a crowded gym, sometimes all you have to…
I have always loved basketball. The first hoop I ever owned? It was a breakaway rim that my father got from a co-worker. We had no backboard or pole, so my dad attached it to a hunk of plywood, we painted a square on it, bolted it to a ladder, and tied that ladder to…
