About Me

I’m a 30-year-old father and husband living on a peninsula 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 newspaper reporter with a penchant for turning a phrase and a sense of humor as dry as the Sahara.This blog is mainly about my life as a new dad, but I’m also prone to talk about marriage, sports, politics and pop culture. I’m a Boston sports fanatic and my hatred for all New York teams knows no bounds. I’m honest to a fault, prone to cross a few lines but simultaneously heartfelt and sincere. But whether I’m describing the time I manually pumped my wife’s breast while she was nursing or writing about how much my son enriches my life, the only promise I can make is I’ll update often and I can’t help but be passionate. Thanks for stopping by!

MJ Speaks Out

MJ is a private person. Actually, private is an understatement. She’s very, very averse to people knowing her business. She doesn’t have a website, her name doesn’t pop up on Google and that’s the way she likes it. Well, I guess I should say she was like that up until we got together. Because, as [...] [...]

Abort Protesters

I made a deal with myself and the universe this morning. If the pro life protesters didn’t negatively affect MJ today, then I wouldn’t let them affect me. After all, she’s the only one who matters right now. It’s not time to be selfish, it’s time to do whatever it takes to make MJ happy. [...] [...]

Daycare Drama

Ready kiddos? Buckle up because this is nuts… After receiving the call from my daycare provider’s husband (because she obviously doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to do it herself), I went over there to gather Will’s things. Frankly I was planning on making a big stink but I chose not to because there are more [...] [...]
