I have retired and will no longer be taking clients. I just don’t have the heart to take down the website. Thank you for your support.

Oh! The Humanity: The Creation of the Grilled Cheese Meme.

August 14, 2019

I have rolled this set of photos out every year for the past 6+ years, and it is time I do it again…… because they are awesome.

For those of you that do not know the story behind these shots, I did the unthinkable one day. I gave my son Chris a grilled cheese for lunch. You heard right. A perfectly toasted and gooey grilled cheese. I may have even accompanied the sandwich with some chips and a pickle. This devious act was too much for Chris.

He didn’t like grilled cheese. He didn’t like it a lot.

As any responsible parent would do, I laughed openly then took pictures of the anguish and despair.

Hands down, It is my favorite set of pictures ever.

I am particularly fond of the the single tear, and the haunted look in his eyes in the bottom right.

Oh, the humanity!

From time to time my older son would post this on social to register his current mood around school or exams. :) Brilliant.

You’ll be pleased to know that Chris has moved on, seemingly unscathed, from this depravity and enjoys a good grilled cheese — sometimes with pickles, or ham or bacon. Of course, only time will tell the true damage.

Until then, enjoy.

One happy birthday
Jul 24, 2022

This little one was smiles and sweetness. And her big brother knew how to keep a conversation going. :) Join me in wishing her the happiest birthday. I don’t think she’d have it any other way.
