I was reading the Babylune post Exploiting Your Babies for Money when I came upon something that reminded me why:
a. I don’t like watching reality TV, especially with celebrities.
b. I don’t like watching reality TV with kids in it because it makes me hate the parents.
c. I think pop culture is turning people into blathering […]
Our son’s first tooth has just broken through his pink little gum line, with a second one not far behind. His gallons of drool, nights of screaming, ear tugging and fussiness have paid off. Only 18 more primary teeth to go!
While this is clearly a first for him, it’s also a first for us. One […]
In January I mentioned that Martin Luther King Jr.’s son, MLK III, was expecting a child. Well, on Sunday, May 25 Martin Luther King III and Andrea Walters King gave birth to a 7 pound, 8 ounce little girl.
Via CNN:
Martin Luther King III’s wife Andrea Waters King gave birth to a girl on […]
Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for all U.S. soldiers who have died in service to their country. While it is often hailed as the unofficial start of summer, the holiday was not instituted for the convenience of a 3-day weekend at the start of a season. It was established to honor those who […]
I made a great find recently while at a trade show in New York. I was walking across the Jacob Javitz Convention Center when I chanced upon the awesomeness that is RoomMates peel and stick wall stickers. (Technically they’re referred to as appliques or wall decor, but stickers sounds cooler.) I stopped dead in my […]

One of the advantages of having a child at my son’s age is that he is relatively stationary. He stays approximately where you put him and there are no concerns about whether anything within a six mile radius has any sharp edges.
This morning however, we have friends coming to visit with a two year year […]
I wrote yesterday about how Goodnight Moon is a household favorite and part of my son’s bedtime ritual. It had escaped me at the time, but I was reminded by a friend that Goodnight Moon is also Stewie Griffin’s favorite book on the show Family Guy.
I then began to wonder if my son’s assassin-like […]
Reading to our son is a cornerstone of his nightly pre-bed bedtime routine. It helps calm him down when he’s cranky and tired, and acts as a signal that it’s time to start winding down. One of the first books we got for him and a household favorite is Goodnight Moon.
It’s the simple story […]
This is somewhat an aside from typical fatherhood-related post, however I find it an interesting notation of the times. For the first time today I paid over $4 per gallon of gasoline.
I just returned from a 116 mile road trip for work and averaged 38 miles per gallon, about which I was very happy. However, […]
