It's like eatin' squirrels!

About Me

I'm 37, married with two beautiful little boys, and likely to be wasting my time at the local theaters. With over 80 productions under my belt to date, I find the theater is a great way to showcase what little acting/singing ability I may have. I also play keyboards in a local jazz trio - "Selectively Deaf", and I get to hang out with people possessing HUGE amounts of musical talent - makes me look competent. In my spare time, I work as a computer programmer in Columbus. Nothing like the big city to make you feel small and insignificant... Actually, life is wonderful and I don't have any complaints at all. Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds

My Blog

Yes, Ben - there is a Santa Claus

I feel so guilty. The string of lies that fly out of my mouth this time of year would make a politician blush. As a parent who is desperately trying to preserve Santa for at least a fe...

Spehling B

I am forced to tackle one of the toughest challenges I have faced yet as a parent... the dreaded weekly spelling list. I myself am a very good "speller" (not such a good "grammarest"), but t...

New Baby Lexi

Whew! What a weekend! Alexandria Elizabeth is finally here - all 8lb 11oz of her! We induced early, and it's a good thing - she'd have been over 9lb if we'd have waited until the due date of September...

tiny toddler

We just took Drew in for his 4 year check-up, and based on the "growth chart" of all the other children in the USA, he's in the bottom 25% of his age. In other words, he's tiny. Not that we didn't alr...

It's a girl!

My wife and I had another excursion to the baby doc last Monday. Since she'll be 35 at the time of delivery, she's considered a "geriatric" pregnancy. Now, if you've ever met my wife, you can instantl...

In the summertime...

It's almost summer again, and that marks a return of the Weathervane Season. This year it's a mixed blessing - I'll be happy to see everyone who's returning, but I'll only be at the theatre a li...

A bussing we will go
