The Ultimate Summer Barbecue Playlist for Fun Happy Times

Posted on July 15, 2017July 15, 2017by Dr. Curious
happy barbecue

[This week’s post is brought to you by two weeks of interrupted sleep, dirty diapers, and belching with my beautiful daughter. It’s not my best nor most cerebral post, but I hope you enjoy it.] First degree burns from your steering wheel. The smell of sun-dried ketchup. A run through the sprinkler to—as my 3-year-olds […]

My smartphone is the best and worst part of my life. Do you remember a time when you didn’t carry your life around in your pocket?

The Curious family—Big Brother T, Dr-Mrs-Dr. Curious, and I—were thrilled to welcome our new daughter, Baby S, to the world this past weekend.

Yes, I’ll Wrestle with You

Posted on June 17, 2017June 18, 2017by Dr. Curious

I don’t have many memories from my life as a young child: a few images or feelings that, given the malleability of memory, may or may not represent reality. With this letter (and perhaps others in the future), I hope to provide my son with a window into his life and our relationship during his […]

[This post turned into a book review, something I had not really planned but, hey, anything goes here. Hope you enjoy it (and check out the book)!] The literature on parenting is daunting (and inconsistent) at best, overwhelming (and wrong) at worst. I dabbled in it during months leading up to the birth of my son, but fatigue […]
