Have you been to the America’s Pavilion at Epcot? It’s pretty cool. There’s an acapella singing group there called the Voices of Liberty. Everybody sits on the floor under a big domed ceiling, and the Voices of Liberty do their performance right in the middle. The acoustics are great, and the performers do a fantastic […]
Read MoreHere in central Florida, we have these creatures called “love bugs.” For those that haven’t seen them, they are shaped roughly like fireflies, but don’t glow, and they get their name from the fact that they are constantly mating. The things actually fly around with their ends connected to each other. How they manage that, […]
Read MoreThe kids go to a pre-school that is associated with a church. This isn’t that unusual. Most preschools around here are associated with churches. Sometimes, however, it leads to strangeness. Yesterday, while I was in the kitchen cooking dinner (and my wife was taking her traditional Mother’s Day nap), I heard the following little tune come […]
Read MoreI listen to a wide variety of music when I’m up in my office: reggae, classical, jazz, blues, folk, “international”, classic rock, even a little pop from time to time. Realizing this, my wife keeps her eyes out for interesting CDs. Last year for one of the holidays she gave me a CD called “When […]
Read MoreOver the past few months, we’ve had a truly wonderful development here at the house: the kids are playing nicely with each other. Sometimes, in fact, they would prefer that we leave them alone so they can do their own thing. The only downside to this is trying to sort out the problems when they […]
Read MoreSome of you may remember my best day ever. For those that don’t – or are too lazy to click that link and read about it – I basically had an absolutely fantastic day at the Animal Kingdom with N (who wasn’t even two years old at that point). It culminated in a real tear-jerker […]
Read MoreOur 4 year old has in his class a child that is pretty close to being a bully. He’s one of those kids who does mean little things as soon as the teacher’s back is turned: taking your chalk, pushing, that sort of thing. As you may remember, our little guy doesn’t back down very […]

Read MoreUsually, movie nights are something that I do with the kids without J. As I may have mentioned once before, even if she’s here, she usually doesn’t sit down and watch with us. Instead, she goes off and does her own thing. I’m not complaining about this, mind you, just letting you know the situation. The other […]
Read MoreA lot of kids have imaginary friends. N, our two year old, for a while had an imaginary friend called “Kee-kee”. I hesitate to call Kee-kee an imaginary friend, however, because he was used primarily as an excuse. When N said something that got him in trouble, he’d say “No! I was talking to Kee-kee!”. […]
