New blog on life–nothing special

This is my new blog. The purpose is to just document what it’s like to be a father and family man in this day and age with kids ages 10-17 living outside of Detroit, Mich. (yes, home of the lowly Lions). I’m a former writer of fiction, poetry, essays, but for the past 16 years spent more time raising my three kids with my amazing wife and just feel damn lucky to have what I have in life, especially since it was unexpected and certainly luck of the draw! Thought I’d never stop writing, but when my kids came along, nothing seemed more important, and I’m just now getting back to writing. I’m now 49, and following a recent serious diagnosis, realize that the old boring, lame-ass cliché is true–life is too short. Thanks the Good Lord for every second. At any rate, don’t expect anyone to read this stuff, just some musings on things I’ve learned and continue to learn along the way. Thanks for reading, feel free to comment!
