Ordinarily I don’t much care for celebrity stuff and the only reality television that I watch are cooking shows and competitions. I didn’t even know what a Lady Gaga was until recently and other than the lessons a father can glean from Tiger Wood’s situation I truly could care ...

As we started thinking about what little man could be for Halloween this year we didn’t really have any preconceived notions, it just had to be something cool – as defined by me. The extent of last year’s costume was a onesie that said “this is my costume” because ...

One of my favorite movies of all times is Goodfellas. I was going through some pictures of our son from this weekend and his demeanor in the picture from yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday post reminded me of Tommy DeVito, Joe Pesci’s character. The first thought that entered my mind ...
