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 slightly twisted sense of humor. This blog is mainly about my life as a new dad, but I'm also prone to talk about marriage, sports, movies 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!

I’m not an overly positive person. So even though it’s Thanksgiving time and every blogger on Earth is making lists of all the wonderful things in their lives, I just can’t bring myself to go along with the herd.
So I’m compromising.
The following are things I’m thankful for, [...]
