SELLING SIDEBAR
I know this has nothing to do with the post, but I just released “Joyride” back onto Kindle. I thought some of you out there might like to read it – especially any dads (or moms) reading this post.
(Revised and Updated: 2015) A Joyride in a Chevy Chevelle. The car was just sitting there for the taking. What could possibly go wrong? Vinnie and Mike are about to find out what can and will go wrong once they turn the key. Evil awaits. Ride shotgun if you dare with this short story.

Watching his son as he plays

Haiku – Scorcher
Sunshine and blue skies
Like a hot burning fire
Day starting to bake
+
I wrote this one this morning when my son and I went out for a walk to the park. I thought we went early, but by the time we got home at 9:15 we were sweating buckets. The site A Prompt Each Day had the word “fire” as the prompt for the day, and I thought this Haiku would fit that prompt perfectly.

Haiku – Secret
Man picks up his cell
Hoping the ring was not heard
Strange voice on the phone

Haiku – Hot Expectations
Coffee in my cup
Soft Sunday morning sunrise
Heat wave on the way
+
About to get blasted with heat down here in N.C. – four-day stretch next week for highs: 99, 100, 98, 99. And that isn’t even factoring in the heat index. Guess summer his here.
How do you deal with the heat?
Me, just stick inside where it is cool.

Haiku – Proud
Sleeping through the night
Son in his big boy bed
First time, all night long
+
My son has just moved over to his big boy bed. One day the crib, next his big boy bed. Growing so fast. I thought I would share this news, because I am so proud of him. I don’t know if you have seen this blog or not, but I have started talking about being not only a parent, but a stay at home dad. You can check out that blog here: daddystayhome.wordpress.com
How did you parents reading this handle your child’s sleep transition? Just curious.

Haiku – Welcome Moisture
A barren parched land
Drops of rain falling softly
Quenching nature’s thirst

Haiku – Calling all Sprinklers
Heat wave coming on
Days filled with ninety degrees
Starting to cook here
