T-rex eating a snack watching tv
and slipping to dance with the frog.
Boo-ya!
And nothing but cheetos
on the frog’s crown
and cheetos eating themselves.
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Stick.
Stick who?
Stick again.
Thomas likes to whisper crazy things to Liz and I to text to each other. I received this as a message tonight.

“Stick Stick” A Poem by Golden Boy
It’s All Fun and Games
In Golden Boy Swears I mentioned that Thomas and I have taken up wrestling as part of his nightly routine. I’m fairly certain that this new activity was prompted by Thomas, although I can’t be entirely sure. Regardless, it’s interesting because most of the time Thomas is a very sweet and loving boy. (Except [...]
It Was Time
It’s such a minor thing, really. All I did was swap out one background image for another. Oh, and I tweaked a few color settings.
Caroline, in her purple pajamas, with the purple peep, is there for a reason. So it’s still there. Probably always will be.
Anyway, it was time. For me.
Thomas and Charlotte
I suppose it’s theoretically possible that you have 1) not read Charlotte’s Web and 2) don’t want the plot spoiled, so I will warn you now, I give away the major plot elements of the book in this post. So go somewhere else. Maybe you can go buy the book.
We first tried to [...]
Loose Ends
It occurred to me, as I was writing my last post that I’ve been sharing quite a bit about my life here on this blog. Which is fine. But I think I may have left you hanging on a few occasions. So I thought I would use a post here to tie up some loose [...]
Naked and Frustrated
“I’m sorry I yelled at you,” I said to Liz standing there in nothing but my underwear.
I’m always loud. Nearly always obnoxious. But I’m not a yeller. It doesn’t happen often, me yelling uncontrollably. When I yell it’s usually because I’m stuck in a stressful situation with no hope of resolution. As the stress [...]
Happy, Indeed
It’s no secret that I hold a special place in my heart for Maddie Spohr. The current design of this website and the post I wrote on her birthday are testaments to that fact.
It’s also no secret that in Thomas, Liz and I have a very astute and observant little boy. He is truly the [...]
Golden Boy Swears
it’s bed time
we are in the midst of Thomas’ bed time routine
after the race to his room, his music playing
we’re wrestling, a new activity
he charges at me before veering off while taking a wild swing at me
he’s particularly ferocious tonight
he stops and looks at me with his terrible eyes
he swings his terrible claws into the [...]
Bumps in the Night
As you may have noticed, I have a hard time updating this blog on a regular basis. The problem is that I have a hard time following through on anything that I don’t have a sense of obligation to complete. It’s a definite limitation. One that I’m challenging myself to overcome. Part [...]
The Smartest Person I Know
Five years ago yesterday, a very pregnant Liz and I had just placed our order for dinner at the neighborhood IHOP. The waiter brought us our drinks. I gazed lovingly at my pregnant wife. She gazed back and said, “I think my water just broke.”
Now, things like this tend to happen during pregnancies, so [...]
