Self-explanatory.
It's finally baseball season. And with it comes a fresh start for all 30 teams and hope for fans of each. It means warmer weather. It means tiny gloves and uniforms that is little league. And finally and definitely last, it means sideline parenting. In little league, where kids are as young as five, they're not-so-quietly present. … Continue reading Sideline Parenting: The Good and Bad
"Like sands through an hourglass, these are the days of our lives." No, being an at-home dad hasn't got me watching soaps every afternoon while the little guys sleep, but this quote is becoming more and more aprapos, maybe? Shit, I don't even know if it makes sense in the context I'm trying to use … Continue reading Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday
Every parent will tell you they love experiencing things with their child(ren) and I'm no different. Except that my kids (mainly Nolan) have very little interest in watching sports.

Well when we had our first son, the thought of him taking a gymnastics class was not even in the realm of my thinking. I had never even given it a thought as I'd chalked up baseball as the would-be sport de choix (not sure why I chose to use a French translator for 'sport of choice'). … Continue reading Gymnastics, huh?
Tomorrow Nolan begins his baseball career. It's the MudHens' first game and it's gonna be hilarious!
Twins at Brewers the free Game of the Day on MLB.tv. So I'm watching. Even though I care zero about either team.
