Not really about parenting anymore.
Yesterday delivered some major progress on the book I’m writing. But let me give you some background first. The book is called Taking the Brick* and I’ve been working on it for almost 18 months. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever written, and also way better than anything I’ve ever written. It’s not a heavy book. … Continue reading Novel Progress
A little reflection on 2025, and some updates from our end. So, Tuesday, Shani and I left the dog and the boys and took a romantic overnight trip in Hudson, NY. We started with a stop to see my mother’s best friend, Marie. We’re not technically related, but she calls me the “son of her … Continue reading A Romantic Getaway and Random Life Updates

Phase 1… Last month, my friends from high school and I gathered to Ramble™; this time in Oregon. Our first Ramble was in 1997, and we’ve done it every other year since. That’s 15 Rambles over 30 years. We arrived in Portland. We spent 2 days getting food and gear and putzing around. Then we … Continue reading West Coasting

The Donna G Project was a series of letters I wrote to the boys that was sparked by a friend's experience with breast … Continue reading Podcast: About your Mother
This is Solomon Cover and his father, Avi. They are Cleveland Guardians fans and our good friends. They are watching their stud relief pitcher throw to Aaron Judge. This photo perfectly describes why I love watching baseball so so much. I do not believe any other sport can achieve this.

I went to Rancocas State Park last week. It's a park 20 minutes away that's an easy go-to hike for us. I'll stop on the way to work and do a quick three-mile loop. Or Alex and I will hike there when we don't have time to go somewhere more interesting. Rancocas is nothing special. … Continue reading Rancocas
