My father fell ill thirteen months ago, and I’ve made numerous visits to see him in the hospital and nursing home. Almost every time I saw him at the nursing home, I’d bring him food from one of his favorite chicken spots – Popeyes! He would gobble it down like it was his last meal…
Read moreEverybody Hates A Season Finale
I started watching the sitcom ‘Everybody Hates Chris’ with my son in the middle of last year on Hulu. It’s our second show we’ve watched together – ‘Black-ish’ being the other.

I can’t remember what age he was when I started this, but I knew I was onto something once a few years passed. I’m the kind of parent who documents almost everything. Taking video or photos of life events will pay off in the long run. It sure did here. My son still has a…

I wish I had his hair right about now. That fro!!! For the longest time as a toddler, my little man had long and wild hair. My ex-wife wanted it to grow, while I wanted to cut it short. It was a minor battle between us, but in the end, it looks like our son…
Read moreDon’t Touch My “Fro”
My little man has grown out his “fro” as he calls it. I ain’t mad at him. He has worked on this over the past four months. Maybe he is ready to take a knee, play for the 49ers, be part of the resistance or just be the coolest son this father could ever want….
