Becoming Dad

At some point in the next few weeks, I will no longer be Michael. I will be Dad. I will still maintain my full legal name, but it will always be shortened to Dad. My wife will call me Dad. My son will call me Dad. For a short time, I’m sure my co-workers will call me Dad.  I don’t think I’ll mind at all.

Two Crazy Kids

I realized that I hadn’t posted a picture yet, and found this on the computer. This was taken on our 2nd wedding anniversary at our old apartment. Soon, we’ll add a baby boy to our little family.5_13_2008

Election Restoration

Election Day is tomorrow, and it promises to be a historic day in our nation’s history no matter the outcome. I voted last Thursday in early voting. My wife Katie and I were in and out in about forty minutes, and we were grateful for the short wait. We will see voter turnout like never before – a testament to the passion that has been ignited in this country.

Senator Obama and Senator McCain are great Americans who each wish to return this country to a prosperous state. The last eight years have hurt our country dramatically. From a brutal terrorist attack, a financial meltdown, and two wars with no end in sight, our country is in need of repair. The next President of this country will acquire a nation demanding greatness from its leadership.

As a country, we want to be successful. We want to have affordable health care, we want a job to go to every day, we want to be respected across the world. Our country and our reputation has been tarnished in the last decade.

Vote on Tuesday to restore our country to what it is meant to be – a place of dreams fulfilled, a hub of entrepreneurial spirit and innovation, and a humanitarian on a global stage.
