Dad Too

My dad messaged me today, asking about my house hunting. “jame did you go to see a house.dad” This is the first message I’ve gotten from him. Obviously my mom showed him this new trick.

Milestones

My mom IM’ed me for the first time recently. I had showed her how to do it via GMail awhile ago, but it just hadn’t happened. Then, the next day or two after, we had our first video chat. It was kind of weird, like when my dad found Youtube.

Dancing

I danced with our nephew, Carter, today. We danced to Running Away by The Temptations. It’s important for children to grow up without being self-conscious about dancing or singing. They are both natural forms of expression and, without them, a human being is incomplete. I try telling my wife, but she still refuses to dance […]

Spring Break

Lisa and I are on Spring Break this week. What does that mean? Well, firstly, we have a break from classes which means five fewer hours spent at Temple’s Fort Washington campus. Secondly, we have five more hours to spend as we choose. Lisa chose to spend the larger part of those hours with our […]

Nephew

Our nephew came today to spend the week. He’s a well-behaved baby of almost a year. I made him cry twice by scolding him. He insists on stuffing things into his mouth. I’m not sure I would mind if I were his parent, but since they mind, I am trying to prevent such behavior. I […]

Lisa’s Blog

I just setup a WordPress blog for the wife! Hopefully she will put it to good use!

Carter’s 1yr Birthday

For our nephew’s 1 year birthday celebration, I worked on an image that would emulate a famous baby-food maker’s logo. We printed the image onto a mug using CafePress, a popular custom vendor, which will print your images on just about anything. Here are the results:

Writing About Work

I never write in specific terms about work, out of a concern that my words will somehow their way to the eyes of my bosses and my bosses’ bosses. It’s not so much that I fear retribution for an off-color remark. It’s more that I want my thoughts, set down here, to be the province […]

Marriage and What Comes After

I stated before that marriage marks the beginning of a new stage in the relationship. Even though I’ve stated I’ve felt married to Lisa for years, marriage is still a new beginning in my eyes. Despite what strength our relationship holds, regardless of the trials we have blazed through together, society has not considered us […]

How Has Marriage Changed My Life?

A lot of people I’ve been running into have been asking me how my life has changed since I’ve been married. In fact, just yesterday Lisa and I were at Minado’s in Norristown celebrating Rob Swander’s birthday, when Becky Lee asked me how the married life has been thus far. In asking the question, it […]

Dad on Youtube

My father has somehow stumbled upon YouTube.

I Resolve To…

A recap of the last year’s events: I gave Lisa a diamond ring and Lisa and we began our wedding planning. I worked in New York City and stayed at various locations in and out of the city. I took a new job, having turned down two other (retrospectively worse) offers. I read almost the […]

Recent Going-Ons

This month, I started a new job that will hopefully be better for our future than the previous. Firstly, I will get to be home more than I have been in the past few months–I’ve been in NYC a lot. Secondly, I’ll make more money. The job is going well so far, and I can […]
