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!

That’s what they tell [...]

Vacation Picture Post

I have an entire post planned regarding vacation before and after kids, but to be honest I’m too tired. I’ll get to it in a couple of days, I promise.
Vacation was fun and I’m sad it’s over. Except in some ways I’m not. It’s a lot of work to take a 14-month-old to a new [...]

Fun But Up Early

I’m writing this as I stare at the sun rising over the White Mountains. The vacation house is absolutely gorgeous and the view from the gigantic window in the living room rivals any movie theater. Trees as far as the eye can see and not a neighbor in sight as we cherish our secluded [...]

Vacation All I Ever Wanted

Starting today, I’m on vacation. It’s only a mini-vacation until Wednesday, but I’ll take what I can get.
We’re going to New Hampshire, Jefferson, NH to be exact, which is pretty far north and not too far from Canada. We’ll be vacationing with some friends in a gorgeous house on 20 acres overlooking the White Mountains. [...]
