A Letter from an Attorney
Last week I received a call from the wife while I was at work. In her message she told me that I received a certified letter and had to go to the post office to retrieve it. I didn’t think much of it and certainly didn’t rush to the Post Office to get it. Finally …

Rambling Thoughts of a Tired Dad
I really don’t have anything to write about. It’s been an extremely busy past few weeks. I have worked the last 2 out of 3 Saturdays and the one weekend I didn’t work was the weekend of Soccer, Shootings, A Carnival, A Birthday Party and Mother’s Day. It had gotten to the point in which …

Fatherhood Makes Me Think…..
Since I entered fatherhood on July 23, 2003, I have thought back a lot to my childhood. I always saw my father as larger then life. I never looked at him as a person; he was my dad. He was the guy that taught me things, played with me, helped me, yelled at me, punished …

How Fatherhood Began for Me
Being a father was something I really looked forward to for nine months. One night in July of 2003, my wife kicked me out of my bed for excessive snoring. She was ready to pop and in no mood to hear my house shaking snorts, grunts and gasps. So being the wonderful husband I am …
