I know it’s been a long time since I’ve updated the site, other than links. Sorry about that. I’ve spent the last week setting up my business, so I’ve been busy. Thus far I’ve picked up a fair amount of work. Not bad for one week in business. I’m working to improve that over the next few weeks by sending out query letters and getting my portfolio out to local and national businesses, publishers and magazines.

I’ve also been working on a book proposal with a friend. We’re going to go over it this weekend and hopefully get it polished into final form. Then it’s off to an agent and we’ll see what happens. I honestly think this book can sell. Let’s hope. If it does, it means we’ll have opportunities for several other books we’ve been talking about. My fingers are crossed.

Eventually I’ll also post a piece I’ve been working on about the evolution of “Dad Humor.” It traces dad jokes from the Neanderthal times of “Pull My Finger” to the modern times of “Pull My Finger.” As you can see, dad humor hasn’t changed much.

Mostly my time has been spent with a beautiful girl every morning. We cuddle and talk and eat together. She’s a very coy young lady and I have to admit she’s stolen my heart. Here’s her picture:



Yes, I’ve been playing daddy every morning. Unlike other Mr. Moms, I do shower and shave.

Being a full-time dad has been a blast. This little girl is perfect. She’s smiling and cooing all the time now. It’s amazing to see what was once this little helpless lump turning into a thinking being.

Plus, she’s happy!



Her big sister is completing her migration to total weirdness, as you can see below. She’s working on becoming the world’s first child contestant on Survivor.



That’s all for now. I have to go feed a hungry little baby. After that we’re going to play!
