[Note: Thursdays have typically been a day to post song lyrics on this blog. This time around, I was inspired with the following thoughts, so went this route instead. Enjoy.] Not much more than a bit to keep me holding on, Not much more time I need to figure it out, not much more to …
A Couple of Tunes
A couple of tunes helped make the difference tonight. The first was on repeat as I started the after-dinner dishes. We got this party started. PINK. Meal with the kids, a typical dad dinner: New York beef hot dogs, and vegetable options: tonight it was green beans, carrots, or corn. Dessert was simple, treats mom …
Holy Hour
It happens most often during the 3am hour. Lying in the darkness, mostly asleep, shifting my head, feeling for a more comfortable spot on the pillow. If there’s a lot going on — and in 2020 it seems that way most every day — my brain might start to churn. To-Do’s, Things Done, and often, …

1st Grade Sit-in
Our younger daughter has ups and downs with distance learning so far. Our other children, too. Maybe most kids do. Not made easier by the two-way bilingual dynamic for the program she’s in.

Lyrics Post: “Ants Marching”
This song wasn’t the first I heard by Dave Matthews, but it probably was the one that hooked me to his music. “He wakes up in the morning Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling Never changes a thing The week ends the week begins She thinks, we look at each other Wondering …
Hand-Off
Parents have been doing it forever; more broadly speaking, caregivers of kids have been doing it forever. It’s how we support them. It’s also how we support each other. Chip in; come through when needed; be a go-to person, reliable, some one others can count on. Someone your kids can count on. What happens next? …
