Beach baby

I’m working on something special for y’all this week – the sexy Neanderthal post I’ve been promising since Christmas – but I need one more day to finish it up. I suspect that some of you may be getting tired of glamourous Boy Z on an Australian beach photo. Well, here’s a change of pace, [...]

Sunday

Makings of a good Sunday:

Georgia 27, Arizona State 10 (11 straight for the Dawgs)
Missouri 42, Buffalo 21
A much deserved Monday and Tuesday off.

Makings of a not-so-good Sunday:

Another trip to the ER. Tonsilitis again. Everyone fine.

Just so the sun don’t hurt you when you cry

Happy Birthday, Baby Z! No, Boy Z.
Happy Birthday, my pea. My chicken. My monkey.
Happy Birthday, Z-Man. My Super Z.
Happy Birthday, Zachary P. Quack.

It’s been a year, a year beyond my wildest dreams. I remember clearly, and hope I always do, the days leading up to your arrival in the world. I remember the seemingly endless [...]

A fine feathered fatwa

If this image triggers a sense of forboding in you, then you are more perceptive than me.
A number of you predicted that The Battle of Fountain Valley Pond wasn’t going to be the end of my goose troubles – lack of faith that I dismissed with, in hindsight, hubris. I mean, I know that birds are [...]

The makings of a very satisfactory first Father’s Day…

Some early morning Father/Son bonding…

During which we were thrilled to see this…

The requisite card…

Two teams, two wins…

And a trip to the beach for lunch…

But most importantly…

It just doesn’t get better.

I’m a doctor and it’s true, I’m a clean-cut kid and I been to college, too

“I said, ‘I like Fidel Castro,
I think you heard me right,’
And ducked as he swung
At me with all his might.”
Z, at just shy of a year old, got in his first fight at day care yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasn’t because he was espousing his Dad’s (and Bob Dylan’s) socialist  notions. Nor was it because he’s [...]

Walkin’

There are still no sign of teeth, but just shy of a year old the boy’s taking to his feet. The days of lackadaisical parenting are near an end.

Laughing

“Lighted in a room, lanky room
Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune
Lighted, lighted, laughing…”
What better way to start of a Friday than this. Nothing warms my heart more than hearing and seeing Z laugh. Here’s hoping it’s always this easy…

I’m goin’ down to St. James Infirmary

As a first-time parent there is a whole series of “firsts” – first time the babe rolls over, his first bottle, first time he crawls, first haircut, first steps, first words, an on and on. And then there’s the first visit to the emergency room, maybe not one of the best ones, maybe not one [...]

So pander to your pampered little princes

One of the stated purposes of making this site ‘anonymous’ was so that I could air thoughts, feelings and neuroses that I may not want Google to permanently attach to my name.  I’ve always found writing to be great therapy and blogging extends the therapeutic possibilities by giving the potential for feedback in the form [...]
