“You can’t be serious. Dreams aren’t reality.” Joel’s wife, Mary, pleaded with him. “It wasn’t just a dream, or at least it felt like more.” “Well, what are you going to do?” He shrugged and got up to start the day. As he went through the morning routine, food, coffee, and brushing teeth, inside hisContinue reading “Part 2”

My queen and I are learning our committed two parent relationship is less common than we thought. We’re constantly hearing stories of divorce and broken family, yesterday we heard another interesting one. A friend of a friend is married with three kids, ages ranging from like 5-10 years old. Most recently the mom acted asContinue reading “6 November 2025”

Finally Friday, that doesn’t mean much to me since the weekend is when the elder princess is home all day. We do have a soccer game tomorrow which is nice. Sleep has been improving even though last night I was woken up by the dog crying to go outside. Everyone wants our wake up timeContinue reading “3 October 2025”

What a week, two nights ago the baby woke up every two hours and after a night like that I can’t function during the day. My whole life I’ve had people naysaying everything that goes on like, “two hours is plenty of sleep” or whatever stupid argument they want to make for the sole purposeContinue reading “5 September 2025”

I figured it would be good to write an update on how things are going. We had our new baby girl a little earlier than planned and everyone is doing well. We’ve settled into newborn life at home and I’m happy to report it’s been what I expected. The biggest impediment is disturbed sleep, butContinue reading “11 September 2024”

My queen is traveling for work today and I was left alone with the princess. I’m 36 and she’s over 2 years old, still the idea of being left alone with her scares me. We did the same things as normal and she was fine, inside I feel like I’m not an adult and don’tContinue reading “1 August 2024”

Alex arrived safely and we were able to record the podcast last night without a hitch. Well the only hitch I can think of was that the headphones he normally wears have a USB end instead of AUX which I’m used to for headphones. We shared my computer and there are only two USB slotsContinue reading “19 July 2024”

The Army boys had a fight yesterday, these are guys that can be carelessly disrespectful because the average person would be scared to stand up to them. They also will not stand for a sliver of disrespect so when they lock horns no one is willing to back down. This is when I have toContinue reading “28 December 2023”
Amor Fati
Today I’m 32 years old. That seems crazy to say, I’m just a kid. I remember sitting on my parent’s front stoop grinding Ritz crackers on the concrete to make them square, and only last year I ate dirt for fun. Being in my thirties makes me an adult, how did this happen? I’ve beenContinue reading “Amor Fati”
From Binos to Ginos
When I was younger, sleep was one of my favorite activities and now it gets in the way of me being able to do actual activities. There’s never enough hours in the day and there’s even less wick to burn per day. Sleep is needed to be able to greet the next morning. I hadContinue reading “From Binos to Ginos”
