Over the winter, I played a succession of three video games that involved characters in a parenting or protective role: Fallout 4; The Last of Us; and The Walking Dead. And if parenting in today's world is hard, it's even worse once the world goes to hell. Today I'm writing about my parenting experience with… Continue reading Parenting in the Post Apocalypse: The Walking Dead

Parenting in the Post Apocalypse: Fallout 4
It's a challenge being a good parent. It's even harder after the world's gone to hell.

We finished the baby's room this morning. My dad came by to help put up the border. Still no baby. The official due date is two days away. Everything's packed and ready to go for the hospital. We're pretty anxious for our new addition to arrive. First week at the new job went well. There's… Continue reading Baby’s room
