summer

Hello to the nether regions. I'm at the mall watching Jocelyn play in the play area. Its odd being the only dad around. You would think that would make me more popular. I guess the women figure that a damn man got them into this situation

playground antics

[anonymous]

So there are free summer concerts every two weeks in one of the parks in Fayetteville, and I feel obligated to go to each of them. Free. Summer. Park. Music.

The first one last summer ended up being immediately after school was out and when a fight broke out between two fourth graders (?) in the beach volleyball sandpit, I jumped up to break it up. Naturally, the sandpit was ringed by other parents and while enroute to the brawl I wondered why the parents of the fighters weren't getting involved. Then I realized that a) I was still in teacher mode and b) hey, it's a playground fight, these things happen.

I broke it up anyway, though.

I like these entries. Photographs are great, but words are good too.

Whenever I see a man playing with his children, or comforting them, or being silly with them, or just... wanting them to be happy, I literally get teary-eyed. There's something so special these days in seeing a genuinely great father.

Congratulations on being that.

Also, it doesn't matter what happens, women get catty about anything, especially their children.
