I’m a Dad – Random Thoughts About Sasha’s First Day (On Her One Week Birthday)

So as much as I’d like to just keep posting pictures of Sasha, eventually I’ve got to get back to blog posts that have “letters” and “words” rather than cute pictures. A good place to start would be with a look back at that first day, inspired partly by many of the notes I scribbled […]

I suspect I’ll be burning up the “Cute” tag on this blog in the days, weeks and months to come! 😉

Music Monday – “And We’re Glad, Glad, Glad/You’re a Glide”

Friday Fun Link – History of NHL Video Games (1991-2012)

Lots of nostalgia in the video below… NHL 94 is the obvious classic of the bunch but I probably spent more time playing EA NHL 2000 than any other video game in my life. Nothing spectacular about that particular game – just came at a time when I had lots of free time (no kids!), […]

10 Things Wrestling and Religion Have In Common

I don’t watch wrestling as much as I used to but Wrestlemania Sunday is always a special day. I rarely shell out the sixty bucks for the PPV but have watched when I’m with a group of people or at a bar or something. But this year, through the magic of the Internet, I may […]

Friday Fun Link – Share Some Unique/Insightful Ways You’ve Heard A Child Verbalize Something That’s Become Part of Your Own Vocabulary

Pace’s portmanteau word “ness” is one of the most upvoted comments on this Reddit question although all of the answers are great (with that said, I’m glad it wasn’t my kid who liked to say “cockporn” instead of “popcorn”!)
