“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.” Contractually obligated to put that in there. As well as the #gotitfree hashtag for social media. Because there are legal issues and whatever. What am I doing with Rogaine anyway? Oh, sorry, ROGAINE. The…
Monday was a day off from school, and as Xavier had been asking for a while, I figured it would be as good a day as any to go to the zoo. Thankfully the weather cooperated and while a little chilly at least it wasn’t raining, which is pretty good for Seattle. After the penguins,…
You may remember a while back we discussed the upcoming addition to our family and Xavier expressed a preference for a boy baby. There has been progress on this front. After lunch yesterday we were talking and the conversation turned to “coconut” (because saying “unborn baby” is tedious). I mentioned that we don’t know if…

Not too much happening lately. We’re getting back into the routine of school now that Christmas vacation is over. Earlier this week August had his Cub Scout meeting. One of the activities was virtual wakeboarding. Here he is pulling one of his friends, and here he is being pulled, and ultimately wiping out. Later in…
This is going to be a problem. I am looking across the table right now at something the kids will get so used to having when the inevitable supply chain dry up happens I don’t know if they will be able to cope. I am talking about the Scholastic book order. This picture doesn’t even…
