Sher­man has been clean shaven a few times in our rela­tion­ship.  Our wed­ding was one…he was some when we were dating…I can’t really remem­ber any oth­ers.
I remem­ber the last time shaved though, well not specif­i­cally the time, but my reac­tion, which was to the best of my knowl­edge “Oh my God!  What hap­pened to your face?!”
I […]

I’m putting this up for Sher­man.  Because he loves fonts.  Not all fonts, just good fonts.  So here’s a lit­tle font porn for him because I know he digs my num­bers on here.
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144…
If you don’t know what this is you should.  It’s beauty.
And for good […]

I’ve adopted a few of my hus­bands quirks in our short mar­riage.  One of my favorites though is the wrap­ping of gifts in alu­minum foil.  Prac­ti­cal, recy­clable and almost always on hand.
Some gifts you don’t even need to use tape.  And oddly shaped pack­ages are never a prob­lem.
Not to men­tion shiny.  You gotta love shiny.

The other night I had a dream.  Sher­man and Eli­jah and I were walk­ing home on the path we always take from the church.  It was a nice day, a calm walk.  As we passed the vines cov­er­ing the chain link fence Sher­man stopped and picked a bunch of red grapes.  As he handed them […]

I have a few Fathers.  Sev­eral amaz­ing men in my life.  I’m lucky that way.  The more the mer­rier I say.  But then again I think I have a pretty good def­i­n­i­tion of the word.  A Father to me is a man that makes an impact, a pos­i­tive one.  A man that makes you proud […]

Some of my favorite things are happy accidents…it’s a term my ceram­ics teacher used a lot…I guess he knew I never really had a plan…
I’d love to say that I took this pic­ture.  I didn’t.  Sher­man took it, and for some rea­son I just love it.  I think the soft­ness, the color, the warmth, is beautiful.  […]

On the way home from Iowa I real­ized how Sher­man and I will always be very dif­fer­ent from a lot of other par­ents.  I may be wrong, but when I see entire fam­i­lies out and about the Dad is the dri­ver.  Dad is the dri­ver and Mom is the long armed, nuk replac­ing, enter­tainer poised […]

Its warm here today, I guess Sum­mer is around the cor­ner.  I always for­get how June creeps up on you and then *POW* it’s Sum­mer.  A lot of things have been that way lately…*POW* I mean…I’ve been hav­ing some *POW* moments.  Some­times they suck, but no mat­ter what they wake you up.
So a few smacks in […]
