I’m a writer in New Jersey with 2 boys. Jack (13, loves baseball) and Alex (11, doesn’t like baseball, but loves being along for the ride).
A few years ago my boys and I made a pact to try and hit all the major league ballparks together. So this is a lot about that quest.
Also of note:
I’m a creative director at an ad agency called VIVO. I wrote a book called “101 KickAss Things for Dads to Do with Their Kids” that I’m trying to get published. I have a wife I adore who is very tolerant of bad ideas.

And, you happen to be one of the most authentic people I have ever met.
Thanks, Dave.
We get dibs on your visit to the awesomeness of Dodger Stadium. Your trip will include accommodations, provisions, and transportation. We might even get you to San Diego to see the Padres, where ever it is they play–how should I know and who cares?
I’ve promised the boys that the West Coast is coming soon. I’m hoping that sometimes when a business trip takes me out there I can bring them along with frequent flyer miles and hit a ballpark. The games are tough on the wallet, though. I have to feed Alex non-stop to keep him interested.
I think you can drive north on the NJT to avoid 76.
Great peering in on your funny family stories.
I love this! Thanks for sharing it.
Mike,
Love the blog, and I especially love the shout out to the wife! You write with wit, wisdom and heart. Even though I have girls, we can all relate to the experience of being a parent and finding common ground. Keep writing your story!
