After the lackluster reception to 1987’s Never Let Me Down, David Bowie considered giving up music for a while. The album didn’t sell as well as expected, and the tour suffered from technical problems and lackluster sales, partly because he was simply “going through the motions” after the blockbuster success of Let’s Dance and to…
Xavier has begun to start playing video games. You can question my parenting decisions all you want, I do, but until you try parenting a large group of kids that aren’t the same age at least hold of on the harsher of judgements. He only plays LEGO Marvel and The LEGO Movie, and only for…
It’s a new year. I still have some old pictures. It’s not all older stuff this week though. Here are the shots from Christmas that turned out. Yes, that is a shot of Kyle. He came over on Christmas Eve and spent the night. Ciaran was “Santa’s helper” this year, assisting in the distribution of…
