One of the items that August placed on his list for his upcoming birthday – under the section of “Fancy Gift” – was a 6 month subscription to Loot Crate. He created the “Fancy Gift” section for a couple of big ticket items that he doesn’t actually expect to receive, but he’s letting us know…
The opening riff “Lonesome Street” is like a declaration. First the sirens, then the guitar blast hits you and suddenly it is 1994 again. Well, not exactly, but this is as close to a statement that we are going to get from the band that it has embraced its past sound while still moving forward….
Last Friday Xavier was not so sure about getting into the pool by himself in the free-swim area before his lesson. Dela said she would go in with him, so he acquiesced. And enjoyed himself. He is getting much more confident in the water lately. Over the weekend the weather was nice enough the ice…
It seems like almost yesterday he was born. As I write this I am sitting not twelve feet away from the spot where he entered this world. It was a bit of a dramatic entrance, but then again aren’t they all? The end result is the main thing. Tevye is such a happy little boy….

Happy May Day! Next week he turns 1, but he’s all over the place already. We literally turned around and Tevye had climbed into the laundry basket. This last week the kids’ school had Grandparents And Special Friends Day which seems like a good idea, except it doens’t happen just once a year – this…
Tevye is 11 months old. Only now have we begun sleep training him. Yes, we previously had established a nap schedule and a regular bedtime, and that works fine for the most part. the problem is sometimes it took far too long to put him down. Like nearly an hour. It shouldn’t take that long to…
Following “Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons” Gerry Anderson and company took their talents and went in a new direction. While there are still elements of science fiction in this new series, “Joe 90” is primarily an espionage series. The premise goes like this: Professor McClaine develops a machine that can transfer brain waves from one…
