It just occurred to me tonight when I was putting my kids to bed that I haven't noted anywhere what I sing to them. With one exception, I've sung these songs to both my kids since they were born. I'm not gifted with much of a singing voice, so there are precious few songs I can passab...

It was a hell of a weekend. Family reunion on Saturday, then my wedding anniversary (12th) and Father's Day on Sunday.Family reunions are strange things for me. I have this desire to see all these aunts, uncles, and cousins that I haven't seen in years (over 12 years in some cases), b...

The other night, Star Wars: A New Hope was on TV. My wife was very gracious in letting me finish the movie before getting the Sand Dunes camping pictures sorted on the computer. I should have warned her not to let me near the computer and the pictures so soon after watching Star Wars....

Today we began our first-ever family camping trip. Ok, it's only for one night; but it's a good four-hour drive away, so that counts for something. The bitch of it was getting everything in my wife's Jeep Liberty. It wouldn't have been bad except for our swag (big, bulky Austral...

So, I read this article on Slashdot today that has prompted me shout "What the fuck?!" at the top of my lungs. (I think I scared off the UPS guy.) Rather than trying to re-summarize this ridiculousness, here's the piece from Slashdot:<quote>Some psychiatrists are tryin...

Last October for my mom's birthday, my siblings and I decided to have a big family gathering for her birthday. Well, not actually on her birthday -- we gave her a certificate warning her of the impending chaos. Initially, we thought we'd all rent a cabin in the mountains for the weeke...

The place I work hosts a big "Take Your Child to Work Day" extravaganza every year. The minimum age, however, is five years old; so this is the first year I've been able to bring my son. For those who know me, yes, my son is only four; he turns five in a few months. Go...

On our continuing quest to explore the local area, we headed out mid-morning to Ripon. Or should I say, "Ripon City"? Someone recently explained to me that towns in England are given the designation of "city" only if they have a cathedral or a university. And...

The weather for the past week has been absolutely gorgeous, so we felt the need to get out and enjoy it. On a whim, we tossed the dog in the car and headed west to Bolton Abbey.As is always the case in this part of England, it was a nice drive (mostly on the A59). The parking for Bolt...

A few days ago we heard about the annual Viking Festival in York. It sounded like a good time, so we headed out this morning to check it out. Jacket weather today, but really not too bad for February. It was about a 45-minute drive to York; we parked in a commuter lot on the out...
