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 […]
Happy New Years!

Happy New Year to everyone! We rang in the New Year last night in our traditional fashion. Leading up to the momentous moment, we did family karaoke before settling in to watch Dick Clark ring in the new year. Or least the kids and I watched Dick Clark. Suzanne, as usual, fell asleep at 11:45 […]

For Christmas this year, the kids received a whole bunch of new board games. As a family that plays a lot of board games, Christmas is always a chance for us to try out some new games. This year, the kids also got some of the old favorites redone. Amongst the new games they got […]

Sorry for the dearth of updates lately – I seem to have been caught up in several other endeavors at the moment. Of course, these include World of Warcraft, which gets an hour or two most days, and working on some websites. We had a busy weekend with the kids this pas weekend. We played […]
Sean’s Birthday

Technically, Sean’s birthday is Tuesday, but we kind of had our family deal this weekend. Next weekend, we will take him and a few of his friends out to lunch and bowling. For dinner, he wanted some spicy food, so I made him some Jambalaya. I don’t think he had ever had it before, but […]
Weekend Fun

This past weekend was extremely busy, but very fun for us. The weekend started Friday night with us enjoying the relatively new Blu-Ray player. We have been watching many old movies in high def. Some are simple upconverts and not a tremendous increase in resolution. Others have been remastered and are downright beautiful. This weekend […]

As my loyal readers (gotta be at least 8 of ya) know, we are pretty avid boardgamers. The family loves sitting down on the weekend and spending hours playing boardgames. Actually, the kids would love to play even more. Our game closet at home must have 50 different boardgames in it. Lately, the boardgame industry […]
Cruise IQ

Tonight, we played a round of Cruise IQ. It’s not one of my favorite games, but Suzanne and the kids really like the game. The game is basically Trivial Pursuit but dealing with cruising. The object of the game is to cruise your ship around the World to various ports and answer trivia questions in […]
The Past Weekend

Whew, what a busy weekend – or at least it seemed like it. I thought I had finally put all of Suzanne’s vacation questions/issues to bed for the upcoming Alaskan cruise on the Celebrity Mercury. We booked our airfare, hotel and transfers to and from the cruise ship. We booked our excursions for the cruise. […]
Winter Wonderland

This time, we actually did get some of the predicted snow. We received about 4 inches of snow here in Sonoita, AZ. It really looked quite beautiful this morning. The accumulation of snow was enough that the kids school was canceled today. I slept in a bit this morning, not wanting to make the trek […]
