We had our last supper as a family last night – for at least two weeks. It’s funny to think of things in terms of “last” even if it has that caveat of “until a few weeks from now”. Adding that word makes the situation more important, heavier if you will. DJ was supposed to…

Laughter IS the Best Medicine
We were sitting on the patio at the pub having a very late lunch after what had already been a long day. I don’t recall what my kids thought I said, but G quickly commented “That wouldn’t be the strangest thing that came out of Moe’s mouth.” I looked at him wondering where…
It’s Friday.
Summarizes what today means for the rest of my family. What a blimp hanger looks like. What I drank after a long fucking day at work where I wanted to kill people. What Indigo held on her hand yesterday after she slammed her thumb in the door of the car. The person that stole DJ’s…

A Great Father-Son Project
The title of this post is what I kept overhearing Sunday while my daughters were building a boat with their grandfather and father. “A great father-son project” The process was simple actually as all of the wood was cut – the tools were provided.
