Man with Family is a personal blog of, well, a middle-aged man with a good-sized family.

I write this blog to provide creative outlet for musings on life and the world. I'm in my 40's with five kids and a long-time marriage. I currently live in the South, but I've lived all over the U.S. I have a full-time job and this is just for fun. Any comments or opinions I express here are solely mine. You may know me, but I'll neither confirm nor deny my "real name," at this time. I know, "Privacy is an 'old man's word'," but then, I am an old man. When I decide to out my name, you'll be the first to know.

If you're going to read this blog, there are a few things you need to know. If this bothers you, you might want to find another blog to ready.

1. I can't spell. Get over it. I'll run the spell check and spend some time reviewing my posts for spelling and grammar errors, but I'm going to miss a few. I don't want to hear about.
2. I like commas. I write like I speak. Commas help express the tone and pattern of my voice. I think today's style guides put too much emphasis on removing commas. If you're of the modern Style school, I don't want to hear about my comma usage, either.
3. Don't abuse me. Comments are moderated, but still. Don't feel a need to go off on a tangent about something I write. If you don't like it, ignore it. Find another blog to read. Life's too short.
