The Most Important Thing

[warning: mostly irony-free post] The “worst year” has officially passed. Though there’s another one ahead soon for his brother. There were definitely ups and downs this past year: times of indignation, sarcasm, defiance, distraction and–my favorite–plain, outright lying. But all things considered, it could have been a lot worse. I …

Mr. Richard

This is a sad, kind of personal post, but I wanted to jot it down somewhere. One of my kids’ preschool teachers, known as Mr. Richard, passed away over the weekend, and it’s really hit me hard. He was one of the sweetest, kindest-hearted and generous men I’ve known. The …

Playing Racquetball with a Cartoon

I’ve been playing racquetball with my son the last few weeks, and there’s something about the experience I find so entertaining. First off, I just don’t think you see anyone that small playing the game very often, if ever. I mean… you don’t usually see anyone under 60 playing it, …

BREAKING: Kids are Cute

I was at a dinner party last week in south Austin, and the host has a five-year-old son who ended up going to bed about an hour into the event. When he was all ready for bed, he came into the living room, grabbed my hand, looked up at me …

Off to College (and Beyond…)

My older son has been accepted to a month-long program at an out-of-town University this summer, which I guess I’m excited, anxious and curious about. Excited for him to do it and to stretch his independent legs; anxious about how he’ll do and about any struggles he’ll run into; and …

Reading INTO THE WILD with my Son

HIM: This book is stupid. ME: Why? HIM: Because the main character basically just kills himself in a stupid way, and we’re supposed to care. ME: He doesn’t kill himself. HIM: He might as well. He goes into a dangerous situation with limited supplies with a high probability of death, …

Falling in Love (WIP)

My lungs lighten At the sight of your feet, Quickening their pace As I approach It’s been so long You’ve seen me at my worst I’ve seen you at yours (I hope, I hope) When I first held you My heart thumped So hard It seemed to confuse you I …

And So it Begins…

The day has finally come. So far so… good-ish. I can sort of see what my mother was saying. The willful defiance is occasionally off the charts, and we’re getting into what he’s termed “alpha male battles” from time to time, which I guess means we’re fighting for control of …

Collaboration with the Kiddos

Been spending a good chunk of time this weekend partnering with the boys on music for the big climactic song for this year’s FronteraFest entry. They’re using the software Ableton Live to create tracks and beats to fit the overall feel of the script. I don’t know that it’s going …

Breaking News: my kids are cute

While we were on vacation recently, the kids took photos of themselves with cartoon cutouts of their orthodontists as part of a photo contest. They just got picked for the finals, and if they win they get a drone with a mounted camera (which I’m sure they’ll use to peer …
