Well, isn't this an incredible irony...one of the least technologically advanced beings on the planet has found function and literary opportunity as a blogger. More importantly I've begun my journey as a full-time, stay at home dad with our 3 month-old daughter Cally...the real reason and shining light behind my want to share my experiences with family, friends, colleagues and other dads who have or are anticipating life as a primary parent.
For the next six weeks of my parenting leave, I'll attempt to capture the joy of watching her grow and share reflections of my learning and development as a first time dad. Add the additional life challenges of trying to be a supportive husband to my wife Katy (now back to teaching at our local high school), attempting to complete our house (currently STILL under renovation), getting our energetic (but highly insubordinate) puppy Zephyr to behave, attending weekly classes to fulfill doctoral degree requirements, adventuring outdoors as much as possible and all the while trying to stay connected to my professional responsibilities directing the outdoor programs at UVM... I'm sure the sparks will be flying!
