I know it has been a couple of weeks, I have already addressed why. Let’s move on. This is going to be a big update, plenty of stuff having taken place since the last one of these, including a lot of Cub and Boy Scout stuff – but that is, of course, not all. How…
The last post I published was February 9, over two weeks ago, and I’ve been working on this post virtually ever since. Thing is, my dad’s memorial mass was held February 10. I had planned on a small write up, but things kept going sideways, or I would get distracted by having to parent the…
Surprisingly, I haven’t taken many pictures the last couple of weeks. Of the pictures that WERE taken, here are the ones that are relevant. Grace is figuring out how to “draw” only usually it’s on the wall. Xavier was the “star” student last week, and needed a picture of his family for his “about me”…
I listen to a number of different radio stations when I am driving around. Sometimes I listen to the classic rock station, sometimes the “variety” station or the new/pop music station, the oldies or news, you get the idea. One artist I heard crop up the last few weeks on a couple of different stations…
This is the first year in several that we are not going to sign up for the Mariners Kids Club. No, I’m not particularly happy about it. As long as I’ve had this blog we have been attending Mariners games with the aid of the Kids Club. It was a great deal because each membership…

Alright, so it’s been a couple of months, and I’ve addressed part of that earlier this week. Let’s just jump into the pictures and catch up on things. We’re going to start off with a picture of Grace, smiling as usual. Tevye attended his first birthday party back in December. It was at a bouncy…
This month’s Geek Fuel box arrived and the contents were well met. There was a nice retro theme to the whole affair. First up is the shirt. It is a pretty cool old-school Transformers design. Then a journal, one of four possible, and it seems that August got the one he would prefer. This month’s…
As of today it has been over a month since my last blog post. There are three primary reasons for this, some more valid than others. First up, and initially, there is inertia. A blog at rest tends to stay at rest. But that is nowhere near the whole story. I was gearing up for…
This was the album I wasn’t looking forward to. When I decided to examine Lou Reed’s solo career this year Lulu was the album I was looking forward to the least. I am not a fan of Metallica. Lulu is a collaboration between Lou Reed and Metallica. I understand the two wanting to work together….
