Where I Have Gone

I have not been anywhere lately. Mentally or physically. I've just been living. I take care of my kids. I watch baseball. I drink beer. I am here.

I have spent a lot of time in a different blog of late. There is a link to it on the right, but don't hit it - you won't be able to go there. It is a blog for my fraternity brothers. It started as a way to just try and find some guys that we haven't seen or heard about in 15 years. Then things got complicated. Some guys started telling stories about some of the things that we did in college. That's when one brother, now a lawyer, emailed me suggesting more discretion. Apparently, perspective clients and employers read these blogs to determine character. So, we have tried to clean things up and have been forced to make it a private blog. Now no one will ever hear about what happens to our stoned sheep during initiation.


My knowledge of politics and world affairs is becoming greater than ever. I get all of my information from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.


I have decided that it is easier to take care of children than dogs. That may only be a result of caring more about the kids, but still, they are easier. We have been fighting some strange virus the last few days that Mo has passed on to Hank. There's a fever and some crankiness. Give them some medicine and put them to bed. Meanwhile, clean the dogs ear infections, make sure King doesn't lick the paw that he ripped half the pad off of and stop Queenie from barking at every living creature within 25 feet of our house so she doesn't wake the kids!

I no longer miss Jack.


The Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup. I hope Emilio Estevez is proud.


The other day, the kids and I went to visit Chick for lunch. We were heading up the highway and the song 'Been Caught Stealing' came over the radio. I turned it up as loud as a dad can with two kids in the backseat. Suddenly, Mo started yelling, "Dad! Dad!" So I turned down the volume.
"Yes honey, what is it?"
"Dogs."
"Yes, those are dogs. They are a part of the song."
So, Mo likes the Chicago Cubs and Jane's Addiction.

And I like her more every day.
