Another active week, but the coming weekend will prove to be even more so. St. Patrick’s Day brings plenty of opportunities for my daughter to perform. And I just found out my dad is coming over from Ireland for a couple of weeks. The weather has been really nice lately. A little unseasonably so. I’m…
What is it with Cub Scouts and the fire station? Well, it is a fairly easy and accessible outing for the youngsters to learn about the world around them. Recently Ciárán’s den visited our local fire station. Because Laura was working late I wound up having to take everybody, which worked out fine, thankfully
This is how an entry on a website for baby dating might look: My name is Tevye. I am 10 months old. My favorite activities include chewing on things (especially my daddy’s shoulder), crawling around, grabbing kitty cats by the ear and pooping myself awake 30 minutes after being put down for nap. I…
There is so much to say about this band. To say it changed my life is an understatement. I had only been marginally aware of the band before, but in the spring and summer of 1987 I had a sort of awakening. My best friend at the time was turning me on to all sorts…

Oren Miller died of lung cancer yesterday. You may not know him. I didn’t. Heck, I only exchanged a few words with him, literally, over the last couple of years. His loss, however, is great. He touched many lives, including mine. He started a group, Dad Bloggers, which I participate in. You may notice on…
Let’s take a quick look back over the week, shall we? Friday is swim lesson day. Here we see Xavier, Ciaran and Dela going into the pool. There is also a “blink and you’ll miss it” cameo by August at the beginning of the video. Tevye has begun climbing stairs. Unassisted. Remember earlier this week…
