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 used to work with my dad as a stainless steel salesman. I made better money and [...]

Cheating

A very talented blogger, Surprised Mom, started a conversation recently which I found riveting. It involved infidelity, levels of cheating, forgiveness and honesty.
First of all, let’s get a few things out in the open. No I’m not cheating on my wife (which was the first question she asked me when I told her about this [...]

The Hershey War of 2009

This one time, in college, I was debating whether or not I wanted to take what little money I had to the casino. Sure I had a part-time job, but in my infinite wisdom I thought doubling that paycheck via blackjack was a helluva lot better (and easier) than, you know…working extra hours. So I [...]
