As I write this post, my wife and I are still patiently waiting for our son, Nolan Bailey Alderman, to be born. He's actually not due until August 26th, but it feels like we've been waiting for years for him to come out of there.
In the meantime, I've found something productive to do that...

I knew I was going to have a busy Saturday. I woke up early and left the house. I needed to have my brakes looked at and so I ended up being the second person in line at the Honda service center and that was a good thing. They work on a first come, first served basis. From there, the shuttle...

An article I wrote was published on My Life. My title was "A Shrug is Not a Conversation," but it didn't really explain that the article was about my son and I living together. However, if you have a teenager, you would get it right off. To see the whole article, follow the link: http://...

My favorite day of the week has come and gone and so have I. Come and gone that is. After touching down from a much-needed break I am thrust immediately back into the thick of things.

Kafka's father would most certainly have used this vulgarity - and many more which are much worse. Hermann was a rough man who had a hard life. He worked his way up from hauling hand carts of butchered meat in a small village to being a prosperous businessman with a shop in a palace in...

My oldest son decided he was going to run track after the basketball season. A season where I felt his skills were not utilized in the manner that taught him anything. The fact that he was NOT mentored affected his spirit. I think it is a dangerous thing when a child's spirit is broken. My job...

After a week of being fruitful and frustrated without benefit of my trusty laptop, I find that there is so much in me that needs to come out and yet not enough time to make it all fit into my schedule.
My middle son, the cook, the quiet one, the patient one, the one who likes to "chill...

My oldest son passed away at 22. What helps me cope when the pain resurfaces are my mother's words of wisdom. "You child is a gift from heaven. Your job as a parent is to love him unconditionally, guide him through the tough times, and celebrate his good time, so one day he can grow wings...

Last week all of the children and I were sick. We had a 24-48 hour virus that Kaiser told me did not require a doctor visit. I ambled to the store and I picked up some Gatorade, juice, water and some snacks. Kaiser said to drink a lot of luids and to get plenty of rest. I was exhausted and all...

The game last night was awesome. They won the game and were up by about 8 points. It was a tough game and the boys played wonderfully. There are a group of moms that I like to sit with and last night we were like a group of 16-year-old teenaged cheerleaders. We clapped, we stomped, we screamed at...
