The Blog is Back

I’ve decided it’s time to really dig back into writing. I’ve missed it. Actually, I’ve got plenty of half-started thoughts, notes, poems, ideas and whatnot saved in Google Keep. This summer, I’m going to focus on publishing some things and moving things from my private Keep notes to a public space. For better or worse.

This summer is also going to be different for me. For the past 21 summers, I’ve been a stay-at-home dad with my kids. The whole summer was science museums, parks, pools, movies, playgrounds, and anything else kid-focused. This summer, Kid #1 is staying at college and working. Kid #2 is home but has a job that will keep her busy.

So, what’s a dad to do?

Writing? Hobbies? Sleeping in? Ha, I wish. Long walks? Reading books in the tree swing in the backyard with a mocktail in the sun. Hmm…that is oddly specific.

I hope you’ll join me for the ride…sorry…the motorcycle was many summers ago. It’s a metaphorical “ride” this summer. Oh, there’s your language arts lesson to kick off the summer.

Cheers!
