His word is
I have been blogging about a lot of deeper issues lately, so I decided to put a little levity into the mix. That, and I had this great visual from Maker today. It’s called the Smitten and it is for people who like holding hands but don’t want to brave the cold weather.

I have seen a lot of people doing these and thought it would be a good reminder to me and whoever reads this blog. I could go into my best and worst movies (Kung Fu Panda, The Dark Knight, The Spirit, etc.) or favorite shows (Heroes and Lost) but instead I will mention what really [...]

We have lots going on for the weekend before Christmas at the Martin house.
Heading into the weekend, I set up a new theme for Cathy’s site, Lillyeth. It is basically a portfolio type of theme and it highlights her art a little better than the previous theme. She was recently featured In Flower Magazine as [...]
Turns out I am married to a celebrity artist. Of course I always knew she was an artist in many ways, but she has recently been recognized in Flower Magazine as their “Artist in Bloom.” The article, titled The Accidental Artist, was a very flattering and really showed a lot of understanding about her as [...]
Today, I pick up Cathy at the airport and end my time as a solo Dad. I had a really great time and learned a lot. So here are my lessons learned.
1. Jane is a Pirate, Elizabeth is a ninja – We have said it before, but it was proven again this week. Little E [...]
As a mother’s day gift, I encouraged Cathy to take some time and spend it with her friends and let me keep the girls. So, yesterday morning Cathy flew down to Orlando and my weekend with my two daughters began. What a bittersweet time.
I really love my wife and we affectionately call ourselves Team Martin. [...]
Today we ran the gamut of experiences in the Martin household. We awoke to a fine layer of powder this morning that some Alabamians would call “snow”. Having lived in Pennsylvania, (or PA as we call it) I would refer to it as little more than hard frost. But I took some pictures anyway. The [...]
Today I am thirty-seven. There were times that I thought I wouldn’t live to be this old. Frankly, it doesn’t feel a day older than thirty-six. In fact, since I have been eating a little (very little) better, it feels pretty good.
Update Remembrance for the past year:
Thanks to a pretty extraordinary year, I realized a [...]
It’s the day before Valentine’s Day and a friend asked me if it was too late to get flowers this morning. I hadn’t really thought about it since it isn’t a part of my paradigm to give flowers for V-day. What would I want for a gift? Hmmm… Make magazine has some great ideas.
How about [...]
Today marks an important day in the lives of the Martin family. We are officially homeless. Yes, we finally closed on the estate in Orlando. After several contracts that fell through and much weeping and gnashing of teeth (not pretty between me and Cathy), we are without a homestead.
We owe many thanks to the people [...]
