HERE COMES SANTA ME… UPDATED!

I'm still enjoying the holiday season despite the recession?that we've been in for the last year and I hope that others are too.?I don't think you need to buy stuff to enjoy the season. Sometimes you just need to do stuff.?Stuff that takes you out of your comfort zone, like I did.? On Thursday I [...]

Dear Santa,

This year I'm not sure I want anything under my tree, given that Christmas came early with the election of Barack Obama as our next president. It seems a bit selfish to ask for anything more than that. Plus my son is happy and healthy and attending the public school of our dreams.?Yet for some [...]

YESTERDAY

Yesterday I was lucky enough to be able to take the day off from work to be dad. I took the day because Dev's school was closed - one of the many holidays that public schools force us parents to make other arrangements for.?Anyway, I seized the opportunity and walked with my son to?our local [...]

A MONTH IN AND…

Things are still good in kindergarten. Great actually. The Dev is loving every minute of his new school and honestly I can't blame him. The kids?seem to have the best time in that place. (I write that last sentence?as a jealous nine-to-five worker with four hour daily commute.) I asked him the other day what [...]

Yesterday my new job, which is a charter school, welcomed its first kindergarten and first grade classes.

These kids are the kind of [...]

A NEW GIG

In my last post I mentioned a bit of a life change on the horizon. But I suppose transition is a more accurate word for it. Today was my last day of work?after over four years at one of the best non-profit organizations in NYC, and perhaps the country. I didn't go into leaving?said?company lightly [...]

JUST ANOTHER DEV AT THE OFFICE

Earlier this week the wife and I took our little dude to orientation at the school he'll be attending this fall. Actually, it wasn't as much an orientation as it was a play date for kids?who didn't know each other. What the schoool did was place about five new kids, Dev included, into a class [...]
