About Me

Babble.com's Top 50 Dad Blogs of 2011!I'm a 32-year-old father and husband born and bred in Massachusetts. I have a beautiful son named Will, a gorgeous wife named MJ who is far too hot to have married me, a dog I love and two cats I put up with. I'm a smart-ass former newspaper reporter with a penchant for turning a phrase, who decided to go corporate and is now enjoying life as a content manager for a website.

This blog is not just another "daddy blog." Sure I write about my son, but these pages are a record of my life. I don't just highlight the fun milestones like first steps, I also chronicle the "other stuff." The fights, the torment and the doubt that inevitably come with being a husband and father. It's not always puppy dogs and rainbows, but it is very real. And often there is beauty in the sadness, redemption in the struggle.

Thank you for checking me out, giving me a try and sticking around for the journey. If you'd like to contact me you can email aaron_gouveia (at) yahoo (dot) com.

17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This post also appeared on www.capecodonline.com/blogs in the opinion section of the Cape Cod Times, a division of Ottaway Newspapers, Inc.

Celtics fans have waited 22 years to raise another championship banner. In 2004, Red Sox fans had gone through an 86-year drought.

My 11-week-old son was born into a world where the Red Sox are champions and now he’s seen the Boston Celtics win their league-leading 17th banner! Against the Lakers no less!!

Hot damn…there has NEVER been a better time to be a Boston sports fan. Never!

    I couldn’t stay up to watch the end but I knew we clenched it as soon as we were up by 30 something points…

    Pretty exciting I’d say!

    WOOOOO!

    What a time last night! The crowd outside was wild! We walked through the marketplace and took a picture with the statue of Red! It was a great game to be at, and there is nothing like winning a championship at home!
