I watched “Covert Affairs” from the beginning. While I had issues with the lead character of Annie, I enjoy spy thrillers and it was nice to see a female in the lead. My wife couldn’t get past some of the same issues I have with Annie and refused to watch the show somewhere in the…
Plenty has happened in the last week, not the least of which was Xavier staying home for 3 days from preschool due to his being sick. Here are a few of the other highlights from the past week. Friday was the Cross Country Pumpkin Run, an event that is supposed to come at the end…

For years we have been saying we would go. BrickCon is a LEGO convention held annual in Seattle and August has wanted to go ever since he became aware of it something like 5 years ago. Because of other commitments we were unable to stay more than a couple of hours. It was enough to…
I know it’s late. I’m going to post this entry that should have been posted on the 4th, and this coming Friday I’ll have another entry. I’ve been sick and not getting much sleep, been busy with … stuff. Nothing important, really. On with the pictures. On Sunday the 29th of September the kids had…
