It’s been well over a month, and Kyron is still missing. Have you all seen the story? It hits us particularly hard, as it is unfolding only a few miles from where we live. His father works where I work. It involves us all. We had hopes that Kyron might be found and returned safely [...]

I was inspired by my blogging buddy Otter Thomas over at Life of a New Dad to write about blogging. There are a gazillion articles out there on how to increase your blog traffic, and they all say pretty much the same thing: write consistently, create informative and engaging content, visit other blogs and leave [...]

Today, for a variety of reasons (not the least of which is the fact that I am temporarily devoid of inspiration), I am opening wide the doors to the archives of Being Michael’s Daddy. Below you will find a veritable Vegas-style buffet of musings from months past; some amusing, some poignant, most picayune and all [...]

When I found out that Compassion International had a group of bloggers in Kenya this week, I had to come out of hiding briefly to let you all know – and to put up a link on the right here for you all to check it out yourself. Our family sponsors a child in Kenya, [...]

Faithful readers, I want to let you know we will be taking a short break here at Being Michael’s Daddy. But do not fear, for we shall be back in time, with plenty of musings, nattering, grumbles and witty repartee. And maybe even a few things that you’ll enjoy reading. In the mean time, if [...]

This has been something I’ve actually been planning for just about a year, but being a world class procrastinator, have put off until now. So why now? No particular reason other than the fact that I’m paying [...]

Okay, so this isn’t so much of a matinee as a newsreel… but it was a ton of fun to make. This is a promotional video for the livestream channel “Suburban Wow”, hosted by WeaselMomma and Melisa with one S (from World of Weasels and Suburban Scrawl, respectively). They had a “contest” calling for all [...]

Take a look at the picture to the right, at that baby sleeping there. His name is Stellan, and his story has become widely known over the last year. He’s not yet a year old, but at this point his future is touch and go. I can’t say too much more myself as news of [...]

On June 19, 2006 I wrote this piece. “So I’ve finally decided to blog. I hate that word. But here I am doing it.” It was my first blog post. It was the day I signed up with Blogger and committed myself to nattering about my experiences as a father to anyone willing to linger [...]
