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 […]

Madden 2009

Well, it’s that time of year again. Time when the new football videogames for the year come out. Or rather football (singular) videogame comes out. Yes, that’s the Madden franchise and yes I am anything but a Madden fan. I long for the days of the old NFL 2K series. They completely beat the tar […]

New You Tube Creation

OK, we were totally silly this week and created another comedy/horror video for YouTube. Keep in mind that this all came from the mind of a 10 year old. [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ru4cD-HTK_Y[/youtube]

Savannah’s First Video Production

During many of our vacations, Savannah has enjoyed time taking video of the various things we have been doing. She knows that Suzanne will spend a bunch of time later editing the video to create a DVD of the experience. She was so interested in doing this herself that last Christmas we got her a […]

Summer Vacation in Michigan

While Michigan is not known as a summer resort destination, it turned out to be a great destination for our family reunion this summer. One of the best parts of our trip was our home base, my sister-in-law’s/brother-in-law’s place in Shelby Township. The house couldn’t have been a better fit for our group. There was […]

I Survived A Japanese Game Show

Oh man, what a laugh fest! As I have mentioned many times, I don’t get involved in too many reality shows, but I heard about one debuting on TV tonight that sounded so outrageous that I just had to check it out tonight. The show is called I Survived A Japanese Game Show. The premise […]

When We Left The Earth

For those of you that haven’t been watching the recent Discovery series “When We Left The Earth”, you don’t know what you have been missing. The series has been quite excellent and the high definition images quite stunning. The series is a cooperative effort between the Discovery Channel and NASA. It chronicles the history of […]

Nashville Star

First, I am not a big fan of all the reality TV shows that are on now. However, Suzanne and the kids are big fans. In the interest of family time, I do watch a few of them with them. Being a big fan of Country music, I have always found Nashville Star to be […]

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there! Mr Papa has enjoyed his Fathers Day holiday. Too bad I have to go to work tomorrow. I always wish there was another day off after these Sunday holidays. Today was a nice relaxing day for me. I had a nice workout this morning and then […]

The Latest Indian Jones Movie and New Xbox 360 Elite

This weekend, we manage to get into town and take in the latest Indian Jones Movie. Last week, we had our 15th wedding anniversary and yesterday was Suzanne’s birthday, so ample enough reason to venture into town on the weekend. The family thoroughly enjoyed the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie. […]
