Thursday, June 16th, 2005[The following true story occurred yesterday.]“Why didn’t we help him?” As Judah’s confused yet compassionate eyes gazed at mine, his words cut deep. We had just passed a panhandler in Chinatown on the way to introduce mom to Joe’s Shanghai’s soupy dumplings. I had taken Judah the night before, just the two of us, on [...]

Thursday, June 2nd, 2005
A friend of my wife’s used that phrase to describe herself recently. Yet she’s a self-made women with a successful business and ambitious vision for her future, a no-nonsense go-getter who creates opportunities for success. And she appears fearless. But beneath it all, she still perceives herself simply as a, “Daddy, love me,” girl. Now [...]
Breakfast in bed
Sunday, May 15th, 2005Judah awoke this morning around 8:30. Mom and I weren’t ready to wake up fully, so I laid down with him on the couch as he watched Caillou. Predictably I dozed until Judah gently shook me saying, “Come into the kitchen. I have a surprise for you.” “Yikes,” I thought. Kitchen surprises usually backfire, but [...]
My Boy’s a Prayer Warrior
Tuesday, March 29th, 2005Judah has been praying for Rudy’s 4 year old son Samuel almost daily ever since his Leukemia diagnosis last summer. Last week, he and I were looking at pictures of Sam online when I remembered that Liz Rios has pictures of her special needs son DJ online as well. We visited her blog and discovered [...]
“I Love This, I Love This”
Monday, January 31st, 2005So screamed Judah after sleigh-riding down Owl’s Head hill last night. The shear delight of his little voice combined with the excitement in his eyes makes fatherhood the greatest joy in the world. Unfortunately, two runs later Judah plowed into another little guy about his age and felt embarassed — not to mention afraid and [...]
Underwater Aliens
Monday, January 31st, 2005My son asked yesterday if we can go to the aquarium this summer. “Of course,” I said, but I’m also showing him a preview online at Time’s Aliens of the Deep. God has such a sense of humor. Could he have created animals to look any more bizarre than these?
Out of the Mouths of Babes
Thursday, January 20th, 2005This is not a joke. When my son showed it to me this evening, I was blown away. You may recall that Judah turned 4 earlier this month. Four. That makes him three weeks older than three. A few months back Judah got obsessed with spelling words. He wanted to know how to spell just [...]
Will the Real Men Please Stand Up?
Monday, January 17th, 2005My last shout-out of the evening in honor of MLK comes from the son of a civil rights radical, who ironically suffered a similar fate as Dr. King (although for apparently different reasons). The late Tupac Shakur, son of Afeni Shakur of the Black Panther Party, grew up never knowing his father. According to his [...]
Have I mentioned yet how much I love my son?
Friday, December 31st, 2004Judah turns four in two days! It was exactly four years ago tonight that he began his journey beyond the womb in one of the most memorable and exhilarating two days of my life. Diana’s due date was January 8 (or 10? I don’t remember exactly), but I wanted a New Year’s Baby. Not because [...]
