I went to mass the other day. It was in my hometown in the same church where I made my first communion, attended catechism classes and impatiently sat through midnight mass on Christmas Eve eager to only get home and open a single gift, as was our custom. I was there to accompany one of … Continue reading Fathers – the ones we have and the ones we don’t

Sometimes Mother’s Day stinks
...and I'm not talking about like a bouquet of flowers, either. No, I'm talking about good old-fashioned perspiration. You see, I began my Mother's Day by participating in Fleet Feet's 10K Classic.

After the sweaty release of 75 minutes of … Continue reading Laboring on Christmas Eve

A romantic love that inspires. If number four doesn't happen, Bradley Cooper would be an acceptable alternative.
