Dammed Up

The way we watch television has changed. Not only is watching live television becoming a thing of the past, but watching television itself is as well. I’m not fighting it so much, but do still prefer to sit down in front of my television and watch whatever it is that I’m choosing to… er, watch. These…

Put It In The Bottle

Tevye is teething. Yesterday I felt his third tooth breaking through the gumline. Along with being a few days shy of 7 months old, his sleeping has not been the most solid. This isn’t the first time I have tried to give him infant pain reliever. He hates it. It doesn’t seem to matter much how tricky…

Music Monday: The Music Man

I don’t remember a time in my life with The Music Man. This is one of those musicals I grew up with. I admit to being more familiar with the film version which I have watched on television many times – the latest being just yesterday. While it isn’t one of my earliest television memories,…

NaBloPoMo Victory Lap

Well, I did it. A blog post a day for a whole month. I wonder what the percentage is of those who start the project and successfully complete it. There are only three blog posts that I can think of that could be filed under “questionable” which is pretty good. And I’m including that Crock…

Arrival In Salem

Here is another post about our trip to Massachusetts last summer. We took the overnight plane from Seattle to Boston hoping the kids would sleep on the way there (and yes, Laura and I hoped we would get a couple of hours as well). August just didn’t sleep. I think he was too excited. Tevye did…

Why I Stay Catholic

By |

I thought about this long and hard, and even then I’m not sure I can put this into words to convey to people, but I’m going to try. First and foremost, every criticism you may have the Catholic Church is probably valid. I’m not going to refute any of the issues people bring up. Heck,…

Crock Pot Ramen

Happy Thanksgiving. Since today is our national day of eating, at least according to what I’ve read on the internet these past few days, I thought for today I’d provide a food related post. This was an experiment I wanted to try because… well, I don’t know exactly why. I’m not even sure where I…

Get Rid Of The Prizes?

BlogHer is the official host of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Post Month) and sort of organizes things to motivate bloggers to keep going. There are prompts to elicit blog posts, a (mostly) daily twitter discussion, and more – including prizes. The only thing is, I think it’s offering up the wrong motivation. Maybe I would feel…

The Beach In Maine

Here is another snapshot from our trip this past summer. We have a friend here in Seattle that is from Boston. Every year she goes back for a weeks or so and visits family. She also rents a house in Maine and spends a few days with her kids on the beach. Their vacation overlapped…

Music Monday: The Briefs

By |

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to listen to. The previous Friday I had loaded up some Queen onto my phone to listen to on the way to swim lesson. This past Friday I wasn’t in the greatest of moods so I wanted to listen to something with a little bit of “punch” to it….
