I’m The Modernish Father and this is my wee corner of the web. Life rarely slows down long enough for me to be able to record what’s going on, but when it does, I share it here. 
Sickly women
Man, last week was just one big giant suck. The only thing good I can say about it is that it is now over. Why did it suck so much? Because the ladies of the house were sick. And that meant life was crappy for everybody.
Infections, flowers and stalkers
Well, the plan was to relax this weekend. We may have accomplished that, but I’m not sure. The weekend started off early with a phone call from the day care – apparently The Boy had started crying incessantly after he was dropped off Friday morning. The Wife picked him up and took care of him [...]
