The Work Is Not Done
I wrote this last summer, the day this incredible photo of Brooklyn’s Black Trans Lives Matters march was taken.
It’s Black History Month so I thought I’d share it again.

High Anxiety
I don’t suffer from anxiety.
I stress and worry but, for whatever reason, it doesn’t consume me. I’m lucky that way. When I go to sleep, I put my head down and simply go to sleep. It usually happens quickly, much to Mom and Buried’s envy.
She does have anxiety.

A Bike for All Seasons
When I was growing up, all I did was ride my bike.
We had a little path behind my house that stretched through my neighborhood, connecting all of my friends houses via a carved out trail for bike-riding, and nearly every day would find me and my friends hanging out back there, on “The Path” (we weren’t very creative). When we weren’t doing that, we were riding across town to visit the mall, or hang out at the local Caldor, or to stock up on candy at Wanda’s Sugar Shack. No helmets, no adult supervision, no rules. We were 80s kids, and we loved it!
It’s been 30 years since I had a bike, and nowadays I live in the city (and The Path has long been demolished) but thanks to Zizzo, I’m back in the saddle again!

Action Movie One-Liners for Every Parenting Scenario
One of the most annoying (according to my wife) and also best (according to me), is my habit of constantly quoting movies for no reason. I have seen a lot of movies and I remember a lot of lines from them, and I enjoy repeating them out loud, even when they have no relation to what is happening at the moment. It’s adorable (me) and infuriating (her).
So I’ve decided to make an effort to quote lines that do make sense in the moment, and to help me this endeavor, I’ve made a list of memorable lines from action movies that apply to everyday parenting situations.
You can use them too! You’re welcome.
