Hey everyone! In case you didn’t notice, the Grammy nominations were announced this week! This is very exciting, unless you were not nominated, in which case this sucks. I was not nominated. But it’s ok! I am not bitter! It could be because I did not release any albums this past year! I will blame […]

Curing Epilepsy With Mozart
You know, at this point we’ll try anything. We are currently on medication number seven. We have reduced screen time. We have monitored activity levels and body stress. We are working towards cutting all sugar out of our diets (except for when, I assume, I will sneak out in the middle of the night and […]
How Toy Grammy Broke My Dishwasher and Saved My Life
“My mother broke the dishwasher,” I texted to my wife. “She ripped the door off of the front of it.” “Or, she just touched it and it fell to pieces because it was old and crappy. Depends on who you ask,” I finished. As usual, when Toy Grammy comes over…things happen. And also as usual, […]
Aladdin on Broadway: A Full Review (A New York City Family Adventure – Part 2)
After our first day in the city, we started off day two by sleeping in. It was around 11 by the time we made it to Central Park, and after lunch at Shake Shack we stopped back to change and get ready for Broadway! I was the only one of the four of us who […]
The 9/11 Memorial Museum: Why? (A New York City Family Adventure – Part 1)
When my mother, Toy Grammy, turned 60 this year, we wanted to do something big for her. Since she had never been to New York City, and had been slightly envious of my daughter’s birthday trip there I think, I had the idea to take her there for the weekend. I also decided that anyone […]

I Traded My Cats For a Puppy
We got JJ ten years ago, because a neighbor of a friend was getting a new boyfriend who didn’t like cats, and so JJ needed a new home. Things were going well, except that my wife and I both worked in the city and were gone most of the day, and we felt that he was […]
The Story of the Midnight Dragon with the Backward Head
I promised to tell you this story a while ago, and since it is still Mother’s Day week, this seems like as good a time as any to tell you the tale of how my mother came to the rescue of her poor son, and the midnight dragon with the backward head. It all started […]
Microwaves are Not the Same as Stoves, or How I Ruined a Parent Teacher Conference
When my parents got divorced, I took over a lot of responsibilities as man of the house. Despite being only eight years old at the time, I took this very seriously and I was given a lot of well-earned responsibility. At first, after school would end, my siblings and I would all end up at […]
Bear Hunt
Panic set in as I tore through Ruby’s bag on the ferry. I didn’t see him anywhere. “Where is Bear?!” I shouted anxiously. “Did you leave Bear at Grammy’s house?!” My daughter was unconcerned. “Yes, but it’s okay. He will just use his magic and be home when we get there.” NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! What have I […]
