I have followed Richard Page for almost his entire career.
From ‘Pages’ and ‘Mr. Mister’ to all the background vocals he’s done over the years.
Who is Richard Page?
You have heard him before.
Trust me.

Sarah and I went to visit my father yesterday to feed him lunch and sit with him for a while.
Lately, he’s been overly emotional for reasons I may never be privy to.

It was a beautiful night as we sat watching the ferries come and go in the harbour.

For Elizabeth & Sara and their favorite angel, fast asleep . . .

Dear Dad,
I know you’ll never read this but I wanted to take a few minutes

how proud you [...]

“Come to the edge.”

And they came.
And He pushed them.
And they flew.

Graduation ‘09 is done and dusted but the torrential rain of emotions put Pamela and I through the proverbial ringer.
As we both sat outside the other night mesmerized by the [...]

I will be absent from the blog until sometime next week due to our graduating college student.
It was only 4 short years ago that I posted THIS.
Where did the time go?
That said, Pamela and I are so damn proud of her we can’t tell you.
I wrote a very personal note to her that won’t make [...]
