About Homemaker Man

Homemaker Man, a member of the Boston Dads Group, is an ex-dishwasher-short order cook-baker-college student-deli man-grant writer-comic-mailman-bohemian. Among other things. He is now a devoted and tired family man, and an unwilling and unqualified tee-ball coach.

He writes about his wife, two children and whatever else catches the fluttering remains of his attention span at the blog Musings From The Big Pink, where a version of this post first appeared. You can follow him on Twitter.
