You know, I had been thinking about starting a blog for years, back when it was cool. Bloggers were taking off, getting book deals, becoming popular and widely read, and it seemed like maybe something I could do. I loved writing, and I had won various writing awards in my school days, so why not […]

The Last Post I Will Ever Write About My Son’s Health
This was a bad one. We were at Dick’s Sporting Goods looking for a backpack for my wife, who was leaving for grad school the next day. Everything was fine, and my son said “Let’s go look at bikes!” in an excited voice, and less than three seconds later he was on his face on […]
Forty Stories Long
People. I have solved my problem. And whichever important problem of mine you were thinking of, it’s not that one. No, I have figured out what I am going to do for Lent this year. Last week I was mildly complaining about that fact that all of the good things I was going to do […]
Blogging with Siri: let’s see if this works!
I woke up this morning having not written anything for this blog. My children have both been sick recently, and I just haven’t had the chance to get it done. This morning I didn’t have the chance either because we had to go out, so I wondered how I was going to get something written […]
Jesus Went Viral
As some of you may know, in addition to my regularly scheduled duties as minister of music at my church, this past Sunday I was also in charge of the message. Supposedly we are going to start live streaming and/or podcasting these things, but since that has not happened, and many people have asked for […]
What My Children Thought of the Picture I Drew of Them
Lately I have been playing around with the look and the feel of this blog. I have been trying new things. I changed my logo (if one can call it that), and I started making graphics and posting them on the Tenor Dad Facebook page, mostly because it was fun and that’s why I do […]
Things That Give Me a Migraine
I get migraines. And yes, all you migraine-doubters out there, they are real migraines. I can’t tell you how many times I have mentioned a migraine to someone who also gets them, only to be met with “Well, it probably wasn’t a real migraine. It was probably just a bad headache.” Well, thanks for the […]
I Don’t Have to Post on Holidays, Right?
Look, it’s not that I don’t want to write something. I love writing. But I’m super busy, and we’re about to get in the car and drive for many hours to visit mt sister-in-law, and the kids are not dressed because they are watching “Bo on the Go” and dancing around with their bananas, and […]
Tenor Mom
When I first decided to quit my job and become a singer full time, it was not an easy decision. We had just moved into a new house, and the idea of halving our income seemed dubious. Nevertheless, my wife refused to let me give up on my dream and, with her full support, I […]
Is Tenor Dad an Unethical Endeavor?
According to Scientific American, blogging is good for your health. Huzzah! I should be extra healthy then, because I do it all the time! After reading that article I felt a renewed sense of confidence that I was doing a good thing with Tenor Dad, and not totally wasting my time. But then I read […]
