Well, that’s a bummer. Bob Casale, or Bob #2, guitar and keyboard player for Devo passed away yesterday. I don’t know all of the details, heart failure at the age of 61, so here’s a link to the Rolling Stone article and if there is anything new that comes to light I’m sure it will…
Wow, where did last week go? I had a couple of posts planned on top of my (supposedly) usual Phamily Foto Phriday. Then Xavier got sick (and I mean *SICK*). Tuesday was a bit of a washout for me. The posts I was working on didn’t “click” into completion as I had hoped. Fine, I…
Three years ago I took August, Déla and Ciárán to see Winnie The Pooh in theaters. At 3 years old, he was a little scared but excited. It was a big, dark, loud place. While we don’t typically think of it, for younger children a movie theater can be a little daunting. When the Spy Kids…
Last night as Laura and I were going to bed we smelled it. Xavier, our 3 year old, had pooped in his pull-up and needed changing. While I didn’t relish waking him up, it had to be done. As I (gently) woke him and picked him up to carry him to the bathroom he said, “Who…
Well, not actually, but it feels like it. LEGO: The Movie comes out today. Also today LEGO: The Movie: The Video Game is released. I’m sure you’ve seen trailers for the movie. They are everywhere. The song “Everything Is Awesome” is almost everywhere as well. I haven’t seen much of LEGO: The Movie: The Video…
The other day I was picking up my kids from school as I do every day. Nothing special, just doing my job, trying to not have Child Protective Services called. What struck me about this particular day was the Kindergarten teacher. She said “Thank you for being here on time every day to pick up…
These are the types of posts I hate. Oh, it’s partly self-pity and complaining, partly a place-holder, partly just crap because I have nothing else to post. Well, it’s not that I don’t have anything else to post, actually, it’s that I can’t seen to get my ideas fully formed. I have a couple of…
Stub Hub is giving fans a chance to win tickets to the “Big Game” (can’t say which one or the *FL will bring a lawsuit) next year. Doesn’t matter who is playing, but really, wouldn’t you like to go? I would! Here’s how you do it: Fans have until 11:59:59 PM PT on February 3,…
August came down one morning this week after showering and said “There was an explosion on planet My Head.” After school yesterday Ciárán came out of class wearing his jacket OVER his backpack, zipped up, with his arms out of the sleeves and the hood on. Generally being silly. And Xavier tried to imitate…
“I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Dad Central for ROGAINE®. I received a product sample and promotional item to thank me for participating.” I’ve been thinking a lot about the “Grow Your Game” initiative by ROGAINE. What does that mean? Sure, the company is using language that directly references hair growth, but there’s a lot more to…
