Signs that you were raised in the greatest generation, with a childhood from 2010-2019! Suck it, children of the 20’s! 1) That Sofia the First had the best theme song of all time (sorry, Doc McStuffins)! 2) Frozen is the greatest movie in the history of cinema. 3) Marvel only came out with two or three movies a […]

Thanks
If you are reading this, then thanks. You are awesome, and I am grateful. Every link you click, every post you share, and every comment you make, makes me far happier than it should. Every time my notifications light up with more “likes,” I get a little shot of serotonin right in my happy place, […]
Put Your Damn Coat On!
When I was in college, I was notorious for walking around in the winter time wearing shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt. Hey, I was from Vermont! 40 wasn’t cold! Come on, wimps! It drove my voice teacher crazy, and he gave me some good advice/knowledge that completely changed my mind on coat-wearing, even if I […]
Snowboarding on the Lake: Burton’s Riglet Park Comes to ECHO
I love field trips. I loved them as a kid, and I love them now. If I have a chance to chaperone a field trip, I take it, because you get to go to some really cool places. Even normal places, like farms and apple orchards, are exciting when you see them with a group of […]
The Incredibles – A Halloween Photo Gallery
We do it every other year. On the odd years I let them be whatever they want, but every two years we do epic family-wide themed costumes. In 2010 we were Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. In 2012 we were The Avengers. And now it is time once again for our family to become something…incredible! Of course […]
A Brief History of Selfies
This is, as far as I can discern, the first digital selfie that my wife and I ever took together. And yes, spell check, selfie is a real word now, so you can stop underlining it in red. Thanks. Now, back in the olden times, taking selfies was a lot harder than it is today. […]
Seeing Them With New Eyes
We get used to the people we live with. Everyone changes so gradually that it can be hard to notice the little differences, until we hit a sudden moment of clarity in which we are able to view these familiar humans with new eyes. This has happened to me many times. I recall the moment […]
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 […]
Chasing the Color Run
When my wife and daughter signed up to do the color run, they asked me if I wanted to do it with them, which meant taking our four-year-old son along as well. I pointed out the fact that the color run was a 3 mile jog, during which assorted people threw bags of color in […]
