Leo had a Fever
I woke up this morning and as I start to get moving the Mrs whispers to me “Leo got a fever during the night. He threw up. He needs to stay home from daycare today.” At the same time three thoughts flooded my mind. I didn’t need to wake up and could just linger in … More Leo had a Fever

I’ve Got a Two Year Old
My goodness ho the time moves. It seems not so long ago that he was just this little bundle. All the little cliches about tiny babies and how quick they grow are true.

Writing is Lonely
I’m at the stage of writing that I’m discovering is the hardest for me. The story is done. There are few, if any, surprises left to discover. But, there are errors. Many, many errors.
