    in

    Gone are the days of Apple announcing simply one, perhaps two new model phones for consumers to choose between. Now, new phone model announcements come with four options to choose from! Apple has just announced the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. While I could spread this announcement across multiple posts…

  • To Blog or Not to Blog?

    —

    in

    To blog or not to blog? That has been a question, as the lack of updates to this site can show. I have no prophetic answer. No enlightened reasoning for the lack of writing or for why I sit and type now. I’m human and like with everything, this all ebbs and flows with the…

  • Catching Up After a 6-Week Blogging Hiatus

    —

    in

    Almost six weeks off from blogging, and I’ve survived to tell the tale! That’s right ladies and gentlemen, I took a (somewhat unintentional) blogging hiatus!! (And no one noticed! LOL) Except for my post for our first Rare Disease Day (and a quick post about the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer!) I have not posted on this…

  • Just talkin it out

    in

    So, let’s talk. Let’s be straight. I get that Fatherhood: Reloaded is a mishmash of a bunch of things. The site is for a niche of one. I get that. I’m not out here looking to change the world or have the next successful blockbuster website. This site is fundamentally me. A wide range of…

    Sometimes you just can’t make these things up, and this is one of those instances. Below is a post I randomly threw up on Reddit a while back, and somehow, somewhere, it blew up and proves to be my most successfully upvoted and awarded post on Reddit, ever. And it was simply a photo of…

  • A Change in Focus, Enter: Arthrogryposis

    in

    When I started this site a few months ago, I wanted it to be a fun, more light-hearted blog, following the exploits of my wife’s pregnancy, along with the exploits with our newborn son, while I tackled being 40 and being a new father again for the first time in over a decade. Along with…

  • Working Out in a Gym for the First Time in 9 Months Thanks to COVID

    I finally had the opportunity to work out in the gym again after 9 long months, and it felt wonderful. The previous gym that I used to frequent has been closed since the end of February due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The gym is part of the local hospital and due to the equipment being…

    So, a new site, I need to do some obligatory opening post or an About Me type thing to introduce myself and the reason for this and everything, right? So here we are! Upfront; I’m Michael, nice to meet you.  I’m married and a father of three.  The two oldest are in double digits with…

  • Personal Challenge: A Month Without the Gym

    —

    in

    So, I’ve set a personal challenge to go a month without going to the gym.  I will come right out and admit, this might not be the wisest move I could make, but I just let my gym membership slip for the month, and I don’t plan on renewing it until next month.  This mainly…
