Our Eighteen Lives

There has been a lot of fanfare lately for Naomi, our five-week-old daughter. And rightly so, she deserves it. But let’s take some time to highlight a few members of our family who–like Naomi–make large contributions toward our well-being by way of vomiting.

The Other Woman In My Life

I’ve been seeing another woman lately. Fortunately, my wife has been around too, because for as long as I can remember, I have been incapable of lactating.
I’m speaking, of course, about my daughter, Naomi, who was born on Friday, July 11, at approximately one o’clock in the morning, when my typical activity is to not [...]

The Big Day After

My wife and I are attending a wedding today, and while the happy couple is probably stressing out about flowers, candles, music, and which foot goes first, we’re very busy eating cereal and drinking coffee.  Our time has come and gone, and it is beautiful feeling.

If you have been watching the news or [...]

Under The Hood

My current car–and this is an example of my acute automotive knowledge–makes “funny noises” when you turn it on. And by “funny noise” I mean the shrill voice of a banshee emanating from under the hood whenever I turn the key. Not only that, but it is possessed by the Devil. Perhaps not the Devil [...]

A Haiku To Begin

Look! It’s a new blog!
But will it just be the same?
I hope it isn’t.
