Testing out the blog function after a long time...I switched the overhead lighting on, and it’s not flattering I see. Oh well, can’t have everything my way.

Stepfather.
Step qualifies father... as if to emphasize it is not the same as plain father. Does it mean a step down, though? Or is it a step up from mere father? When it came to Charles Petrelli, my stepfather, it was the latter. He was a man who stepped up to the plate and performed the...
Tuesday, I was talking to my daughter in the morning before school. I was complimenting her on her hair as she had twisted and wrapped it to look so beautiful. She looked at me, as if not requiring the accolade for satisfaction. She has wonderfully wavy hair and it hangs with such effortless...
You have to keep it light. To keep my afternoons free for my wife and kids I am often out of the house before they even wake up. I get a good morning text accompanied with older pics of us and the kids most mornings. This is a typical exchange. I always get a giggle of what a twenty year...
Life and my postings. Well, I don't want to make it seem easy. I don't believe life is easy. The older I become, it requires more tact and presence than ever before. Compounding in complexity and taking me to new places around every corner. It takes me a tremendous conscious effort to steer...
Feels like that long since I wrote here.
I feel secretive, guarded, and exposed as I poise to write.
I have not written in the full length of time I have been gone from here. I occasionally fall mute, to the unconcealed surprise of those who know me. It isn't within my nature to be quiet, much...
You're in a hole -stop digging.

Mexico on my mind. One week from today, David and I are driving to Rocky Point Mexico for a five-day-weekend. I can't wait. It will be my first real vacation in over a year. I rented a beautiful house right on the beach. We plan to party, dance, collect...
I hate feeling empty and numb.The meds don`t seem to be doing much.It`s not that I`d think that they will ever instantly cure me.At least they seem to help the anxiety a little.I know I just said that I hate feeling empty and numb but feeling numb is sometimes good.It`s better than the...
My son is my baby. He is the youngest and he was always the most affectionate. As parents, by the time the second child comes, you are so much more relaxed. He is the bug watcher, the dirt digger and an the emotional Titan. Although I am a sports style person, I have not pushed any particular...
I looked to my daughter. She was just in front of me. My wife and son were a little ahead off us. A coastal breeze swept passed us, nudging us along with a gentle push. As we traversed the boulders in our path I said to her, "it feels like a dream when I'm with you guys". She stopped and looked...
I was going through a stack of photos from some of our early family camping. We have gone to so many places over the years it's hard to keep track really. These times are emblazoned on our minds. The kids were so young when we started them on this type of exploration.
But in the pics...
I see the world It makes me puke
I came into the kitchen singing this lyric/song. It was early morning and my daughter was at her homework desk in the connected living room. She laughed aloud at that line and asked if it was a real song. I giggled and told her, yeah it's a song but it has a...
Another year has begun and here we still are.The meds have been upped and here we are.Maybe I should give the higher dose a chance to kick in.I feel like deep,deep down in my heart I have given up.I`ve given up the chance to have a somewhat normal life.I will never have the kids the...

" A gift is not weighed and measured, nor can it be bought. It can’t be expected or demanded; rather it is granted, or else not. In theological terms it’s a grace, proceeding from the fullness of being. " Margaret Atwood
Often, I find that my kids are so conditioned to just explore. After spending several minutes of just staring or observing something special for a period of time, I will have to look up, and often call out to another adventurous member of the family, who is now off seeing there own special...
