Death of a Moleskine

I was plugging away on my computer when I heard the cry from upstairs.  “Oh no!”  I asked my wife what was wrong.  “You’re going to hate me.”  She said. I climbed up the stairs and found her in the laundry room.  She began to pull out pieces of paper and show them to me.  …

More Steve

Several Christmas seasons ago, we were spending time with my wife’s family. My sister-in-law Wendy asked her husband if he wanted more egg nog. “Would you like more, Steve?” she asked.

The Object of my Distraction

I apologize for missing Friday. Here’s my reason: Last week our son was brought into this world. The rest of my life has pretty much shut down as a result. I wouldn’t have it any other way. The family is doing great as we celebrate this new, little life.
