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 [...]

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 made [...]

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 my [...]

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 a [...]

BunBun came down with what looks to be the stomach flu today. He had a temp of 101-102′F all day and was totally not himself. He was puking all day as well… couldn’t keep anything down. Poor little guy. It’s heartbreaking to see him so sick. He’s not himself at all and it just breaks [...]

Some time ago, we had cut down and removed our troublesome apple trees. We replaced them with Japanese cherry blossoms. I was disappointed to see that two of the trees died, but a third tree in the front yard prospered through the first year. This year, it decided to give us a little hint of [...]

Apparently I’m not the only one who has noticed the iSight camera has disappeared.  While perusing through my web log analysis for the start of March, I discovered that at least 2 people have used the search term, “what happened to isight” to arrive here. It’s gone, and that probably means something – but I’ve [...]

Today I became quite fascinated by the Twingley Blogosphere Screensaver (I lost the link and I’m too lazy to go look it up – Google it, gang).  The Twingley Blogosphere Screensaver gives you that spooky feeling you used to get when you first hooked up a Hayes 300 baud Smartmodem to jack into the rest [...]
