About this blog

This is a blog for parents. Mostly, it’s for dads.

I am writing to help me verbalize and reflect on the constant insanity that is involved in raising kids. I hope I can inspire a few laughs and cause a few, “Awws.” If I am lucky, maybe I’ll be able to speak to dads who:

* have young children and wonder: “How can I love this little person so much and still find myself acting like a raging lunatic?”
* want to be amazing, super-dads all of the time; yet, are disappointed with how they break under the pressure.
* find themselves suddenly unable to freely enjoy hobbies and activities because they are engaged in the challenging, but amazing, work of raising a family.

I will celebrate the ways of overcoming these things. I will celebrate my children and my wife. I will celebrate the humor in the absurd. I admit that I am a deeply flawed man, who is trying to figure all this shit out the best I can. This will be a place for stories about how one dad continually strives to be an excellent father despite these challenges.
