Captain’s Log. Diaper Date 2649. Daddy Chronicles. The power of popsicles. I used to enjoy sick days. Ok, let me qualify that- I used to enjoy the idea of convalescing quietly while the rest of the world was busy doing their busy thing. There is something therapeutic about sitting in bed with a cup of … Read more
Captain’s Log. Diaper Date 2645. Daddy Chronicles. Toys Break. I don’t remember my toys breaking this often when I was a kid. Aside from the dog’s name, “Uh Oh” might be the most repeated phrase that I hear in my house. And it seems to always come from my son. Don’t get me wrong, my … Read more
Captain’s Log. Diaper Date 2642. Daddy Chronicles. I’m on track. Rather, I should say I’m on a track. You see, I’m a gymnastics dad (usually my wife takes the kids, but sometimes I do too)., and part of being a gymnastics dad is watching. Actually, most of what I do is watch. I have little … Read more

Captain’s Log. Diaper Date 2561. Daddy Chronicles. I have been doing a lot of math homework lately. With the girl moving into the first grade, homework was inevitable. It’s not a lot, don’t get me wrong, but it is math. Math and I don’t get along. I was so bad at math in high school … Read more
Captain’s Log. Diaper Date 2546. Daddy Chronicles. I don’t get sick too often, but when I do I don’t get cheated. I started feeling ill on Friday. It was a sore throat. No biggie. Felt funny, but hey, it was a sore throat. Saturday morning I awoke with a sorer throat and had some difficulty … Read more
Captain’s Log. Diaper Date 2538. Daddy Chronicles. It has been awhile since I have posted. It’s hard to write, post, and find humor when within days/weeks am unarmed teen was shot, a community mourned and seemingly splintered, the murder/beheading of a journalist was broadcast, and the funniest man alive died. I have been struggling to … Read more
Captain’s Log. Diaper Date 2505. Daddy Chronicles. A beetle dies at the end of this post. In last week’s Great Adventures as Dad we had an epic episode. I’m hyperbolizing a bit (a lot), but anytime I can make my life sound grand (it is) then I will. Anyhow, it was a unique week … Read more
My daughter started kindergarten this year which brought a host of fears – How would she adjust? Would she make friends? Would she eat lunch in the cafeteria? Would she be safe on the bus? My car wasn’t one of those fears. The fire happened on the first day of the second week of school … Read more
