George Michael Photobombed My Kids

It’s been quite some time since I’ve done anything that I’d consider “family blogging”. That’s certainly not because we don’t have anything going on in our household… FAR from it. It’s more a function of me being too busy to get anything done and blogging here had sadly fallen by the waste side. I’ve got

Ohio State / Michigan Week For a 6 Year Old

This is Ohio State / Michigan week and even though I went to another Big Ten school (#Hoosier4Life) you simply cannot get away from it living in Cleveland. This fact was hammered home once again this evening when G-Man ran up to me and started talking about the Ohio State / Michigan game. Now I

A Full Moon Comes To Cleveland

A few weeks back (before all this rain we’ve been getting due to Hurricane Sandy) we had our annual Indian Summer here in the Cleveland area. The Wife to her infinite credit always has stuff planned for us to do, and this year was no different. One afternoon we took in a Fall Fest at

A Photo Shoot For Mr. Matt

The boys love Mr. Matt. They look forward to his trips here every year just about as much as I do. So, while they’re bummed that SuperDad isn’t going to be around this weekend, they’re super excited that Dad gets to hang out with his buddy. We were sitting around the dinner table last night

When You Wish Upon A Star…

I reviewed recently the beginning of my vacation to Naples which didn’t start all that great. So now that I’ve had a couple of days to decompress here’s the blow by blow rundown of our vacation. This is taken directly from the “couldn’t make this shit up if I tried” file… Thursday: After a long

Circumcision By Toilet Seat

Attention guys: this is going to hurt just to read it… you’ve been warned. I just got back from our yearly trip to Naples, Florida (more on that to come). I was delayed getting out of Cleveland so I didn’t get in to Naples until around 2:15 AM on Wednesday (huge thanks to my father-in-law

Why Kids Are Great: The (Temporary) Ego Boost

I’ve often said how much I enjoy being a dad. Every day these two yahoos say or do something that makes me laugh and today was no exception. As I was getting out of the shower this morning, C strolled in and said, “Daddy… your penis is so long!” Oh… if their mother would only

Oh You Didn’t Know?

The wife looked at me today and made the following statement: “The boys are neanderthals because they’re learning from their blockhead father.” While I certainly don’t mind the personal comparisons to Charlie Brown, I thought that was a wee bit harsh on G & C so I decided to investigate what would bring their mother

Ladies Watch Out, The G-Man’s Got Game

In a previous post, I relayed a story about how G was turning into quite the little pimp. I’m here a couple of months later to let you know that he’s not slowed down at all… in fact he’s upped his game. BIG TIME. Over the last couple of weeks, there have been a couple

The Bike Ride That Wasn’t Meant To Be

A couple of weeks back, we went away for the weekend to celebrate my in-laws 40th wedding anniversary. The place we went was a resort-type hotel right on Lake Erie and as one of their amenities they had quite a few bike trails in the area. As I’ve said in previous posts, we really enjoy
