Every year I participate in an exercise – Beatles Week. No, it’s not like NaBloPoMo, an organized event for bloggers, but it should be. At this point I’m the only one who does it. Originally created by Mark on his personal blog in 2008 I followed suit in 2009 and have been “carrying the torch”…
Nope. No pictures of Thanksgiving. Remember when I posted about Déla’s gymnastics championship? This week the next quarter of gymnastics started up and the final standings were posted. Her team tied for first, but for some reason was awarded second place. Note some of those great team names. Also this week at gymnastics Xavier was…
I’m putting Xavier, age 3, down for nap yesterday afternoon. I wasn’t looking forward to his waking up with a Pull-Up full of solids.

I got an email from GameStop this morning. What with this being “Black Friday” I sort of expected it to arrive. As a member of the Power Up Rewards program I am on their mailing list and expect these to arrive. This one in particular rankles me though. Here’s the relevant parts of the ad:…
We were all upstairs getting ready for bed. It was that time after bath and just before stories. While discussing names for the upcoming baby it came out that Déla thought it would be a girl, but Xavier was determined that we would be having a boy. “What are you going to do if it’s…
A lot of sentiment is being tossed about the internet the last week or so with regards to Black Friday and sales starting before then. Specifically there is growing backlash against stores opening the evening of Thanksgiving for sales. That’s all well and good, and I agree with that sentiment, but there is an additional…
