A new day...

Well, I have a blog. Now what?

An introduction: My name is Adam. I am a dad. I am also a husband, a teacher, a drummer, and a few other things, as well. Mostly, I have niched out this space to talk about my kids. But, as most everything in my life involves, or revolves around my family, I imagine other things will come up.

For the last five years, I've been an Instructor of English on Continuing Appointment (should be past tense, not present perfect, although I'd need to edit the introductory phrase). I start a new job mid-August, still teaching, only now at a local private school. Sophie will be in Kindergarten there.

Wendy and I have been married for eight years, just recently. We've been together for a bit longer. Lifetimes ago. Emme will be three in October, and Olivia will be one four days after Sophie turns six, in September. We have a dog named Mingus. Yes, I like the jazz music.

I imagine that some see me and think I'm pathetic in my devotion to my family; others may think it's sweet. I see it like this: I had a life to myself, for myself, by myself. I had sweet solitude. Now I appreciate it a bit more. Now I have a good deal more to appreciate. Life is good.
