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!

When 861st Place Is a Good Thing

Well, I kept my promise. Despite my better judgment and without a lick of training, I ran in my first road race in 13 years on Saturday. After meeting up with Cape Cod Gal, who has been training for a triathlon this weekend, we took our places at the starting line. Normally I don’t put [...] [...]

South Beach Update

So I’ve finished my two weeks of hell the South Beach Diet’s Phase I and I’m slightly disappointed. I lost 7 lbs in two weeks. I was pretty good about sticking closely to the diet, but I did cheat twice. I had half a small cup of ice cream and one small pizza with breadsticks. [...] [...]

FF: Going to South Beach

Head on over to Dad-Blogs for Fatherhood Friday and some great writers. So I’m going to South Beach. I’m taking MJ with me actually. And while I wish that meant vacation, alas, that is not the case at all. MJ and I are on the South Beach Diet. Day 5 to be specific. Obviously the [...] [...]
