kids these days…

Kenn Bivins II, not to be confused with his much older father (me), has been nominated for homecoming court at Campbell High School.

When I was in high school, there were two certainties that few could avoid – acne and tests. There was no way around it. I swore that when I grew up that my skin would be clear and I would never have to take a test again. Ahh, silly youth.

17 reasons

Today, January 19, 2011, my namesake and beloved son turns 17 so it’s only appropriate that I list 17 reasons as to why Kenneth Christopher Bivins II is so awesome. This is by no means, a comprehensive list of why he’s so awesome.

Actually it’s mostly me, Kenn, who is back from the nether-reaches of real life but my ever loyal sidekicks are never far behind.

I’m back to frequent (at least 3 times a week) blogging so I look forward to our exchanges. My novel, PIOUS, will be coming out pretty soon and I have some very exciting things to share leading up to that experience. Cover art, release date, and book website to be revealed soon.

happy birthday, kenneth christopher bivins II

16 years ago or January 19, 1994, my namesake and firstborn graced the world with his pale yellow face. Kenn 2.0 or King K or Kenneth Christopher Bivins II, Dad loves you. You’ve been making a difference since 1994. Happy Birthday, Kenn.

you are the sauce beneath my wings

This past work week had “crummy” scrawled all over it but I was looking forward to the reward of hanging out with my sons at week’s end. Circumstances beyond my reach aborted those plans but I still had an opportunity to share lunch with them on Saturday at this small little spot in Austell called Ruchda (pronounced roosh-dah) Wings. Pictured below, you can see that Kenn 2.0 was more than excited to get out of the house and Spencer dug deep in his wallet to pay. Not.

Love you, Spencer and Kenn. You are the sauce beneath my wings 🙂

yes we kenn

Now 15 years old is the one who bears my full name.
Hard to believe that this little dude is not a little dude anymore
And though his hair adds an extra two inches to his vertical claim,
He will most likely and quite soon exceed his dad’s 6’1″ frame.

I love you and am so proud of you, Kenn 2.0.
