Happy Birthday, Debbie
This the third birthday Debbie has missed, or I guess more accurately it’s the third we’ve all missed without her. I sat down to type with storyline in mind, but whenever I think of her, the rush of stories and memories hit like a tsunami. The Fellas are a couple of days into camp and […]

Six Months of Lockdown
We’re a little over six months into the C19 world and The Fellas and I are still pretty locked down. We opted out of the return to in-person schooling. We haven’t hit any restaurants, we have stayed in a local water-park hotel, they don’t go to the grocery store with me and we’ve done one […]

Faith in the Next Generation
Ford: “I don’t really believe in God.” Ford and I had our first of what I assume will be a series of conversations about God and his existence. Faith has never really played a role in his mother’s life and church has not been a meaningful part of his upbringing to this point. This is […]

The Overwhelming Blankness
I’m getting ready to start The Review – 2018 painting, and the blank canvas taunts me. The Review – 2017 was a hit with The Fellas (my primary critics) with iconic “pie” and “Hulk Room” panels. The blank canvas stares at me as I walk through the room, and it whispers “have you got enough […]

one rule giving
From time to time, in the midst of the beatdown-that-can-be-a-startup, I like to muse on “some day” when the hustle has reached fruition and the bank account overflows and millions have been lifted up by LIGHTHOUSE to lead happier more thriving lives. Somedays my mind goes to easy things like paying for everyone’s college, or […]

for the love of the game
First, as near as I can tell, pro football has replaced baseball as the “national pastime”, at least as it is measured by maniacal fandom and diehard commitment. Today’s anguish — how do I get my boys to love football? Yesterday I sat with a dad that I barely knew while our kids had a […]
