I awoke this morning with a song in my head. As a parent of young children, I’m not ashamed to admit that every once in a while, I’ll have a Wiggles song stuck in my head. :-) So as I was showering (with the songs still stuck in my head) I thought it might be…
The Letter Of The Law
A day or two ago, after I gave Ian some behavioral instructions, I noticed that he tends toward obeying the “letter of the law” as opposed to the heart of the instructions. Many times if I give him a positive instruction, he will do it… but in his own way. Or, if I give him…
Alex Cracks Me Up!
Tonight was portrait night. A friend got us a free sitting and free 8 x 10 at Sears Portrait studio, and my wife being a big fan of photos took the opportunity to get the kids all dressed up (and my Mom took the opportunity to get them something to dress up in) and we…
A Quick Scare, and a Dose Of Reality
This afternoon I have been working on a fun little project for basic, and our basicmm.com website. April 2006 is the 10th Anniversary of our first CD, Another Road Trip. So, we’re putting together some fun promotional stuff. Well, as I was writing the content for the special 10th Anniversary page (and I was nearly…
The Apple Store
I no sooner posted this, then I get notification via snail mail (yes, I thought that was interesting too…) that the Apple store will not be hiring me at this time. :-) It’s too bad… I wanted the discount. I wanted to hang out with Apple stuff and Apple people one day a week. But…
Back In The Saddle
Well, it’s over. Two weeks with my kids. Two weeks away from my computer (mostly). Two weeks of nothing regular at all. Two weeks of diaper changes, meal times, household chores, family errands and entertaining three rambunctious tiny tots. Two weeks that I thoroughly enjoyed. It’s weird. I really figured that I would wake up…
Another Thought On Scientific Thought
Today I was at the hospital because of my sprained ankle, and something the doctor said just confirmed how silly I think science is. Not really science. I love science. Actually, it’s always been one of my favorite subjects. I read the science related headlines at news sites, I visit the NASA site pretty often,…
Uh Oh.
I went up to block Scott’s shot this morning at around 8:30am. It was a nice friendly game of one-on-one-on-one, game to 21, every man for himself. Scott was taking a shot from around the arc, and I was close enough to challenge, so up I went. I missed the block, but as I came…
Clarification: Parents Of More Than Four
Hey folks We’ve gotten some wonderful comments (through email mostly) on this post. Thanks to those who have responded. I just wanted to make it clear that this post was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. :-) We are so thrilled to have a fourth addition to our family – totaling six. And actually, we hope that God will…
You Can’t Go Back
It feels like we’re in a desert land right now. It’s dry, and hot. We’re tired, and as far as we can see all around us, it’s only sand. No one else around, and that’s the problem. Oh, there are plenty of people. We have great friends. They are quick to help with things we…
