I feel, of late, that I’ve been veering uncontrollably into the Daddy Blogger genre. I guess that’s what a new baby and two weeks of paternity leave will do to a guy. This bothers me a bit, because one of the things that keeps me interested in blogging is trying to write about a wide [...]

Before you start you’re already beat…
This post is Part 2 of a story I started yesterday. I can’t tell you what to do, but you’d be advised to read the first part first.
I’ve been going over the end of this story in my mind since last night and I realized that I stepped into a trap of my own design. [...]
Little boy, she’s from the street
I like themes and, inadvertantly, this week seems to have developed into ‘Moronic Debauchery of Yore Week’, subtitled ‘Great Figures in Twentieth Century American Literature’. Who am I to buck a theme. Thinking about that gun and poor decision making under the influence of mind altering substances, I’ve got another one for you.

Falling out the window, tripping on a wrinkle

Z’s Music Monday: Get pissed, destroyyyy…
It was not my intent to open the Pandora’s box of punk rock for young Z over breakfast on Sunday morning.

Glory, Glory…
“Hail to Georgia down in Dixie!
Our college honored fair and true,
The Red and Black is her standard,
Proudly it waves!
Streaming today and the ages through,
She’s the fairest of the Southland,
We’ll pledge our love to her for aye,
To that college dear we’ll ring a cheer,
All hail to dear old UGA!”
As it feels like Autumn here in the [...]
