About me

Gender Male
Occupation Stay at home Dad
Location Chicago, Illinois, United States
Introduction I'm a full-time father (aka... stay at home Dad) and a transplant from southern Georgia now living in Chicago. My wife is a wonderful person, wife and mother and our resident accountant and business analyst. We love the adventure of seeing new places, meeting new people and watching our little children grow up! We have been in Chicago for the past 4 years or so and are loving it! Not sure where this blog will go or if it will go anywhere... I imagine it being a place I can dwell on childhood through the eyes of my kids while reminiscing on my own, a place I can boast about my achievements as a husband and father or beat myself up over mistakes, a forum for second-guessing my decisions, bitching about the small stuff, and enjoying a laugh. It would also be great to meet a few interesting people along the way. Thanks for visiting, hope you enjoy the posts and will drop a line to let me know you were here.

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?

Does anyone know a writer of a musical? I don't think it would be a big problem.
