NOTE: This was the post for our original wedding episode from ‘A Podcast About…with Michael’. This podcast episode, in its entirety, can now be found in the Fatherhood: Reloaded podcast feed. Getting married in the middle of a pandemic? Why not?!! This week, Jenna makes her podcast debut as we talk about our love story,…
When I was growing up, to say I could be labeled as the black sheep of the family could have been a debatable understatement. While I still played baseball, football, swam and ran track, I also had interests that went beyond the understanding of my parents and extended family. Comics, Sci-Fi, B Horror films; that…
So, let’s just start this out with a come-clean moment; I. AM. BALD. We’re not talking a Dwayne Johnson “it’s a choice” bald; we’re talking Patrick Stuart, horseshoe bald (with a tiny little unicorn island upfront). For years, I simply kept my hair buzzed pretty close to the scalp, using a beard trimmer like once…

Thankfully it’s one activity that I enjoy doing with her, and it’s a good distraction on nights she’s having trouble relaxing and falling asleep. Up to this point, it’s always been doodles or rudimentary animals or people, however, I…

Since that time Withings has updated their scale and apps to not only provide additional information but also work and sync with additional health apps. While the original review is dated, the scale itself is…
I’ve come to the realization that Thanksgiving is never going to be quite the same again. This year, for example, I’m likely to not have any of my children and will be spending Thanksgiving with only my extended family, absent of my own. That’s heartbreaking.
