We pass bits down from generation to generation. Sometimes it’s intentional, other times it’s quite accidental. In either case, it’s unavoidable – especially in the case of parenthood. Meet, Balthazar. He’s my eldest son and new to the real social interactions of the web. It’s a scary place out here, but I’m cautiously optimistic that… Continue reading Legacies

17th Anniversary
Seventeen years ago, today, two kids started off on what would become the greatest adventure of their lives. Having proposed to my (then) girlfriend, and her reply being in the affirmative, she then asked me, “why do you want to marry me?” Among other (certainly better) answers, I told her that I enjoyed her companionship… Continue reading 17th Anniversary
Movie Night: Red Dawn
We had a night out on the town alone, the wife and I, and we saw “Red Dawn.” It was a toss-up between this and “Life of Pi,” but the game of ‘paper, rock, scissors’ never fails in making these hard decisions. What I can tell you about this film is that it stands apart… Continue reading Movie Night: Red Dawn
Thanks be Giving
I am thankful for baby-smell, a daughter’s love, an oldest son’s helpfulness, and a wife that’s still here with us all.

Projects blossom in my mind, creativity becomes a force around me like the wind, and all things seem possible. Having three children in my family now… Continue reading Autumnal Mental Celerity
Eloise
Eloise Via Flickr: I don’t know what came over me. We weren’t going to be buying any new animals for some time, now that we have a new [human] baby in the house. But she’s a Weimaraner, and she’s a blue. And I’m not sure that she’s figured this kid out yet, but Eloise has… Continue reading Eloise
It’s been a good weekend
On Saturday, I finally captured the chipmunk that has been living in our house under the nose of two cats and a dog. The little bugger was able to go into my live trap three times and clear out the bait before I finally captured him with pure ingenuity. I think he was avoiding the… Continue reading It’s been a good weekend
Back from Williamsburg
We visited Williamsburg, Virginia recently to get a little more vacation time in before the 2010-2011 school year began. While there, we hit Busch Gardens and Water Country using their Summer “Discovery Pass.” It gives you seven consecutive days to visit both parks at your leisure. Aside from $13.00/day/park, the value was tremendous. You can… Continue reading Back from Williamsburg
