Trying to drop Traci off at work this morning and I ran into stupidity. I’ll admit that with this variety of stupidity I’m not so good at dealing. Others seemed to have figured out the puzzle with less problems than I did. I needed to get to the Battelle for Kids parking lot which is Read More …

Ten days past Baby Arrival Day and a combination of the interrupted sleep cycles and crossing into the sheer unknown territory of babydom has done strange things to my mind. For example, Ive come up with little tunes about the oddest things. These arent well thought out, just a few lines that keep popping into Read More …

On Friday November 11th between 10-11pm Tracis water broke. It was just a trickle. At midnight Traci was pretty certain what it was and we began our preparations for leaving. Let Tanner out, make sure he had water in his bottle, pack up the SUV and tookoff at about 12:20am By the time we were Read More …

Last year, as some of my friends can attest, a beach ball appeared in my front yard around November. We watched it for many weeks and wondered how well it would survive the coming winter.

Tanner is growing like weed! He’s doubled his weight since we got him. He now, since we moved his crate out of room, sleeps through the night from about 11:30 to 7:45. He’s getting the hang of house training and can sit, shake and lay down. He loves to run and chew on pretty much Read More …

It’s been almost a month since we, though Bob and Lynn, had to put Bailey down and life in a dog’less house has been feeling rather empty. So today Traci and I went out looking for puppies. I’ve never had one and felt that my next dog should start as a puppy. The Capital Area Read More …

Here are some interesting links I’ve collected over the past few days. When I was in high school I always felt the purpose of it was to remove any desire to learn or achieve, except to learn to unquestioningly accept authority. It was a wasteland for me. I saw through it and was bored. Now Read More …

Well, it’s not quite done yet and it’s taking longer than I’d thought it would. But the first few days are up. Keep checking it for more updates. I did use my meger Photoshop skills to do the banner. Each day has a gallery with all images for that day. COSTA RICA 2004

Back from Costa Rica and it was a fantastic trip. I’m working on a website for the trip and with some luck I’ll have it up this week. I took my PocketPC along to keep a travel journal, thinking that would make this very easy. Of course, Murphy had other thoughts. The travel charger I Read More …
