When two worlds collide

by Jonathon Morgan, Posted Jul 3rd 2007 12:02PM

When I first learned I was going to be a father, I was in art school -- the place where narcissistic college students and self-centered artists collide to form shockingly self-important young people with a flair for the dramatic. "What? Me? A ...

I'm no Zen parent

by Jonathon Morgan, Posted May 8th 2007 11:02AM

I'm not at peace with myself. I have no inner stillness. Hell, I can't even sit still, let alone become content with my place in humanity, the eternal ebb and flow, blah blah. As far back as I can remember, from the earliest days of boyhood, I ...
