Thanks to all of you for the well wishes. The positive vibes seem to be doing well.
I got home late yesterday (about 9pm), minus most of my clothes. I had to leave the clothes at the laundromat in San Jose. My coworker is supposedly going to mail them to me. Hopefully [...]

My wife and son have taken ill, so I have cancelled the third leg of my trip to head home. I can tell my wife is exhausted and not feeling well - I need to be back home.
Our dog Trixie has also taken very ill - we’re not so sure she’s going to make [...]

Ack… well, at least I called her.
Today was my wife’s birthday. She is once again within arm’s reach of my own age for a short 3.5 months.
Happy birthday my darling wife, even though I’m so far away… I’m thinking of you.

Today I embark on a three week journey from one side of the states to the other.  I’m taking this trip with nothing less than a blessing from the wife, who will have to endure three weeks of my son raising hell.
This is one of the more complex trips I’ve ever had to put together [...]

I have to admit, my wife is a real enigma.
Not only is she allowing me to go on three work trips back to back (one of which was not mandatory, but she knows I really want to go), she’s allowing me to go on A) her birthday and B) when my son has three basketball [...]

I’m appalled at the lead story on CNN.com tonight (”What will you tell kids about Britney’s sister?“). I’m especially appalled that the world thinks that American parents are freaking out all across the nation about Jamie Lynn Spears being pregnant.
So… what will you tell your kids about it?
How about… the truth? Why is [...]

I thought I’d do a quickie post and describe to you a little bit about my online life - where you can find information about me in real time, or maybe anytime later you want to check in… or if you want to completely ignore me, you know which sites to avoid.
Under the blogroll on [...]

So you might find it unusual that the first blog entry concerns something that is apparently afflicting parents of all children in the U.S. - the sudden scare of lead poisoning. It seems that Mattel has hired some unscrupulous folks in China that cut a few corners and put some lead in products that [...]

So there’s the situation that developed last night that I just have to laugh about. It’s one of those things I usually think happens to just me… some real life slapstick. The setup was perfect, the execution was perfect, the timing was perfect - it really was something out of The Money Pit.
So [...]

Tonight we decided that BunBun was feeling well enough for a babysitter, so we asked Auntie Lynda to come over so we could head out to catch Spider-Man 3.
Awesome flick. Nuff said. I hope they stay away from 4, 5 and 6 - 3 just wraps up the whole set of films into [...]
