I’m On Board! You Can Now Call Me Esquire

Would you look at that, Heather went and announced that I’m on the board! I’m in the fourth paragraph. I agreed to do this a while ago, and well, I wasn’t sure when she would announce it to the world. My little sister, 9 years and 11 months my junior, is a busy girl. I’m […]

Max Goes FAST!

Funny Colors

My mom watched Max yesterday. Uncle Steve played with him outside in the kiddie pool. Steve’s camera’s not so great (it’s really old). But there’s something familiar about the distorted colors that makes me think of old Kodachrome shots from the 70’s. I must still be sick (yep, still have a fever… lucky me!).

Me? Golfing?

I went golfing today. No, really, I’m serious. I played a whole 18 holes of serious man golf from the grown-up tees. In the picture, the fearsome foursome: my dad, Mike the first time golfer, Chuck the good golfer, and me, the guy who hasn’t golfed in over a decade. There are many pictures of […]

The Complete Swim Report

I took Max to the pool by myself last night. Since some little brat blew chunks in the regular pool, we were all relegated to the usually-off-limits lap pool. It was nice being able to swim, but the lap pool is three and a half feet at its shallowest, which means Max can’t touch the […]

Too Much… Too Tired

I hate doing “I’m going to blog about this, really” posts, but I do it enough that you should be used to it by now. I took Max to the pool tonight all by myself. Some little jerk decided to throw up in it, so we were all relegated to the lap pool. The lap […]

Swimmin’, Swimmin’ In The Water

Dear Max

How did you know it was my turn to wake up with you this morning? Did you wake up at 6:50AM because you knew it was me? One day, you’ll realize that Sunday mornings are for sleeping in, not for waking up at the buttcrack of dawn and jumping on me. I don’t know about […]

Why Are We People?

“Why are we people?”\ It’s a simple enough question when you think about at first. But then, the bottom falls out and the answers melt into one another until there is no answer. You can take the religious view, the evolutionary view, or the 3 year-old view. I’ll try to address all of them, and […]

Max Will Be So Happy

I just checked the listings and The Wiggles are going to be on Crocodile Hunter tonight. Can you believe it? Is Steve going to feed Dorothy some raw chicken? Feed Jeff to Monty? Let Terri run off with the primary colored lotharios who make such great fruit salad, fruit salad? The dramatic possibilities are too […]
