A Night in the…
A couple of days ago I was on the Regent Seven Seas super-luxury cruise ship, the Navigator. The Navigator is a six-star luxury cruiser with suites of 1100 square feet. Suites that have a butler to make sure your eggs are cooked as you like them and to make sure your shoes are polished. What [...]
Blogger Dad on the Parents Television Council
Blogger Dad posted an interesting read on his blog yesterday. His post is about the new CBS show, $#*! My Dad Says which is based on a Twitter account where a young guy posts the often off-colour and irreverent thoughts-words that his father thinks and says. Blogger Dad’s post is about how a the Parents Television [...]
“What is this all about” Page
I have updated my “About” page. What do you think? An improvement? My intention was to clarify what it is that I do here. Thoughts? Was I successful? I will happily listen to any feedback, unlike a website that I recently visited. There was a prominent “sign” on the website I was visiting. The sign asked what [...]
Hugs and Cuddles and Stacking Firewood
I have to admit that sometimes the twins can be more than a bit annoying. Yes, they are little angels 99.99% of the time but sometimes they go through phases when they do get a bit annoying. The phase the twins are currently in was annoying…until I changed my perspective. See they are both really clingy. [...]
Story the Baby Blogger
Story has decided to become a baby-blogger herself. She is tired of the world through my eyes. She decided to become a blogger because she is tired of everything being seen through my eyes. Notice how Annalie is watching from a safe distance. And just for the record, my Sweetheart took this photo…I would never [...]
Words that Strike Fear II
A couple new sets of words to strike fear into a man’s heart, “Some assembly required.” Or the ones that hit you on Christmas Day, “Batteries not included.” Anybody else want to add to this list?
Words that Strike Fear into a Man’s Heart
Words are such a funny thing. Take for example, the words, “We need to talk.” Are there any other words that strike fear into a man’s heart the way that these words do? As soon as a man hears, “We need to talk” he goes into a sort of frenzied internal accounting. He will wonder [...]
Grief and Grieving for a Pet
Grief and the loss of a loved one is a funny process. Yesterday while vacuuming the family-room I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness. Why is that you might ask? Because every time I vacuum in our house I feel like I am erasing more of my Little Jimmy. In the old days, our home was full [...]
The Great Escape; A Game Changer in our Home
Today the twins introduced what is essentially a game-changer. Months ago they figured out how to manoveur through our crudely fashioned, homemade barricade. We decided to kick things up a notch and introduce some custom built containment devices. Enter the doorway-gate. Not only is this gate attractive and practical, it is fashioned from a sustainably grown and [...]
Don’t Forget to Turn Off the Baby Monitor
Well now that was embarrassing. We currently have two house guests. Two very lovely lady friends of my Sweetheart. And late this afternoon I went upstairs for a little privacy time. I just wanted to get away from the hubbub of all the visiting and being nice and all that goes along with that. So [...]
