Music has always been important in my life. My mom always wanted to be trained in music, but her family was not interested in supporting her. She sang, but never studied. All of her brothers play guitar and sing.
I began my study in elementary school, when I started singing solos ...

I was a terrible student. Terrible. I rarely did my homework. Don't get me wrong. I was smart enough to do it, but I was too lazy to do it.
It would have been hard to tell from my test grades. I'm the kind of person who can do well on ...

This is an extremely touchy subject. Everyone who has a son has had to face this discussion, and I am overwhelmed after the hub-bub over at Suburban Turmoil after Lindsay mentioned it.
Now I am circumcised, and my wife and I discussed it at length (haha) and decided not to succumb ...

My wife is very organized when it comes to making a pre-holiday shopping list. We shop it very carefully and, because it is a fairly lengthy list, we keep to it closely.

Every night, we go through the same thing.
I have a fourth grade daughter, who has reached the point where proper names need to be capitalized, book reviews have to be thorough, and math problems need to be right. This requires a lot of support on our part. My wife and ...

Endearing posts. Touching words. Fun stuff. Stuff ...
