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!

Everyday Italian, hosted by the one, the only, the BEAUTIFUL Giada De Laurentiis. As you can gather [...] [...]

Sometimes Being a Parent Sucks

Will started eating solids at just a few months old. He’s off the charts for height. He began walking at just 9 months old and talking wasn’t far behind. In fact, Will has been ahead of the curve when it comes to just about everything. So why I am surprised by the fact that he [...] [...]

Don’t Eat the Urinal Cakes

When I’m really hungry, I’ll eat almost anything. And yesterday that almost got me into a world of trouble. I came home from work starving and craving something sweet. MJ had just picked up some things at the store so I started to peruse my choices. I was looking up on top of the fridge [...] [...]

What’s the Big Deal About Turning 1?

All of the parents who are members of various Internet parenting groups I belong to have babies around the same age as Will. That means a slew of kids celebrating their first birthdays. And surprisingly (at least to me), it translates into a tsunami of emotion and crying. I just don’t get it. All of [...] [...]
