Tooth Fairy Bonanza

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Sean. He has been in tooth fairy hell. Not because he has been having his teeth fall out, but because of the opposite. Sean has been a wee bit upset of late because Savannah has been losing a lot of her baby teeth. Sean doesn’t like the […]

Sean’s Birthday Festivities

Sean’s Birthday was last Thursday, but today we had his fun day. Most of the presents were opened last week, but today was his day on the town. As previously mentioned, the kids get a party with their friends every other year and then on the other year, we have a family day. It started […]

Road Warrior

Occasionally, I travel for work. Luckily, its not too often. However, over the next couple of months that’s going to get stretched a bit and I will be travel weary. No problem keeping my Gold (and potentially Platinum) status this year. It all starts around the end of this month with a trip to Tampa […]

Interesting Web Site

First and foremost, I am not claiming what that image says. In fact, I had some trepidation about doing this post, but after the initial shock (and laugh) its a serious site. Recently, on the open source WordPress forum plugin that I help develop, we had a support request from a site called I Married […]

It’s Been A Heavy Monsoon

This year has been a heavy rain monsoon season. In fact, the wild field grass on our property has been growing wild the last couple of months. We usually have to cut the grass (if you can call it that) on our property maybe 3 or 4 times a year. We usually have to cut […]

Sleep Deprivation

I have mentioned this before, but I have been thoroughly enjoying the Olympics this year. The past couple of Olympiads, I have had a hard time getting interested. A large part has been the crappy coverage. This year, there is more sports and less human interest stories and fluff. Unfortunately, this Olympics has also been […]

Sean’s Birthday

This week is Sean’s birthday. The young boy will be turning 12. Having kids birthdays in the middle of the week are always rough, especially given our hectic schedule. We always have to decide whether to celebrate it the weekend before or the weekend after. Well, we sort of punted this year and kind of […]

Summer Olympics

Thus far, its been an exciting Summer Olympics! Of course, too much gymnastics for me, but the swimming and volleyball has been exciting. Sean and I have even enjoyed watching the badminton. The track and field has started now too. While I don’t care too much for the “field” part, I do enjoy the sprint […]

Lions Fan Site

With the upcoming NFL season, I need to make a decision about my Detroit Lions fan site. I really like the site and really like talking about my favorite NFL team, the Detroit Lions. Unfortunately, as one can see by looking at the site, I haven’t made a post since late June. This isn’t from […]

PowerPoint Info Overload

Yesterday was the deadline for the kids to complete their summer reports on Barcelona, Malaga, Madeira, the Canary Islands, St. Maarten and San Juan. Those are all the destinations we’ll be visiting on our upcoming Trans-Atlantic Cruise. Since the kids will be missing two weeks of school for the trip, I required them to complete […]
