J worked this past Friday, which meant, of course, that I didn’t. Instead, I took the kids down to Epcot. I don’t know if you’ve been to Epcot or not. For those that haven’t, it has a really strange entrance. First you pass through what looks like a giant graveyard from some futuristic horror movie. I’m […]
Read MoreToday’s tale is in the Chronicle. Click here to read it! I really like the title the Chronicle gave this one, but unfortunately it’s too long to put on the top of this entry. They called it “duck-dodging a public tantrum” Keywords for searchers: Gallinule, duck, tantrum, epcot
Read MoreA few months ago, I had what you might call a change in professional status. I work primarily out of my home office now. This has been quite an adjustment for everyone. The toughest challenge is maintaining the boundary: when I’m in my office upstairs, I’m “at work” and can’t be disturbed. My part of […]
Read MoreWe went out on a fishing trip during my wife’s family reunion in Texas this past weekend. It was a pretty big trip: four hours, sixty something people fishing, lots of fun.

Read MoreIf I had been smart, I would have written down all the times I’ve heard one of the boys start a sentence with “when I’m a daddy…” Unfortunately, I haven’t been that smart. A few weeks back, however, C came up with this little conversation-stopper. We were eating dinner, and the boys have been trying […]
Read MoreWe have in our kitchen a little plastic kid’s table. We picked it up at a garage sale years ago, and the kids love using it. In fact, whenever we’re not eating as a family, that’s where they prefer to eat. This morning they were eating breakfast there while I cleaned up in the kitchen. […]
Read MoreWe took the boys to a local playground (Central Winds Park) this past Sunday. It was loads of fun. There’s a play structure there that is literally three stories tall. It has bridges, climbing walls, ladders, slides… pretty much everything. In fact, two of the slides start at the top of the three story tower […]
Read MoreOur routine in the mornings has become pretty well established. The kids get up and run into our bedroom. If they get there early enough, they find me still there. If they don’t, I come down and say good morning. They always get there early enough. Once they arrive, we either snooze on the bed […]
