He’ll Make A Great Lawyer Someday…

theincredidad February 1, 2020 0 Comments
Negotiating With A Terrorist Boy Wonder is one of the most stubborn people I have ever met. He inherits that shimmering quality from his dad…and his mom. Now imagine the warzone that our living room becomes when these three strong wills oppose each other; at bedtime, on a school night. It’s an unpleasant experience that usually ends in tears. Well it used to. Somewhere along the lines;…

Superhero Training

theincredidad January 26, 2020 0 Comments
THE HIDDEN BENEFITS Real heroes don't get superpowers from a spider bite. Gamma rays don't turn scientists into jolly green giants. And super-men don't crash-land on our planet. It just doesn't happen in real life. Real superheroes have to train every day, in order to hone their skills. That's just another reason why Batman has always been my favorite hero. Super-heroism didn't happen to him, he…

Trials of Toilet Training

theincredidad December 19, 2019 1 Comments
Did you know that there are apps to help with potty training? Why the hell would anyone want that? Call me old fashioned, but I believe technology and the toilet are the farthest thing from peanut butter and chocolate. This sentiment goes double for any tech that is “smart” or “connected”. There’s a reason it’s called Twitter and not Shitter. Of course, I’m guilty of scrolling…

On To The Next Adventure

“One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it’s worth watching.” –- Anonymous To be the hero they deserve I've been told that a lot of young children see their fathers as superheros. While it is true that I would be willing to leap tall buildings in a single bound, or protect him from bad guys, I am even more willing to transform myself into the hero he deserves.…

Save Money On Your Next Hotel Stay!!!

theincredidad August 30, 2019 0 Comments
A road trip from California to New York with a toddler and a cat was unpredictable at best. The last thing that we wanted to worry about was making "good time" getting to a specific hotel every night. Have you ever noticed that Dads have an obsession with "making good time"? Not once have I ever attended the Making Good Time Awards Ceremony but I'm sure it's filled with balding men wearing…

You probably figured we’d be halfway across the country by now, huh? Surprise! We are still in the same state we started, only eight hours North. We wanted to visit Bex’s side of the family for a few days. It's been a lot of fun. Of course I love spending time with family but I always look forward to a day in San Francisco. It’s on my list of Top 10 Favorite Cities in the world. Here’s…

Raising Children Who Could Change The World

“There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible.” ― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird I read to Boy Wonder every night before bedtime. He listens for about a half and hour and then passes out for the night. So it’s safe to assume that “audiobook narrator” is not a career I will be pursuing anytime soon. Imagine the ad…

A House Is Not A Home

We moved out of our apartment today. After weeks of packing, trashing, and cleaning, this was a really big deal for us. Obviously it was not as big of a deal for our landlord who never showed up for our move-out appointment. Martha, if you’re reading this, we left the keys and garage remote on the kitchen counter. Good bye and good luck! Maybe you remember me describing our apartment two years…
