When it rains…

The past few weeks have been trying. I have felt overwhelmed. And sometimes lonely. And sometimes scared. It has been hard. For reasons that I have written about on here and for other reasons that I have not. And I have not chosen to share certain things because I like to use this space to express my gratitude, and to talk about ...

It’s so hard to believe

that it was exactly 2 years ago, on this Sunday night, that we saw the bunnies dancing. Crazy, man. Just crazy.

double stuffed stuff.

One bright spot in this whole sick week thang is that I made a very crucial discovery; you see, I found that my daughter likes the cream filling inside the Oreo, whereas I have always been partial to the cookie. Perfect match, we are, indeed. So, there's that.

If that isn’t happily ever after…

Tonight, I watched as my parents, who have been together since they were 15 and 17 year old high school kids, as they sat on the front porch during a storm. As they rocked back and forth on the swinging chair, great bolts of lightening shot through the thickness of the sky. They rocked and rocked, as they shared a ...
