Another week, another batch of photos. Let’s kick things off with the “cute duo” I don’t even remember when this was over the previous couple of weeks. As you might remember Xavier is taking T-ball this spring. Here he is working on batting. This past weekend Ciaran and I went on a hike with others…
I have been to many conventions, expos and trade shows in my life but I have never been to a comic convention before. I applied for a press pass to this year’s Emerald City Comic Con but was turned down, which was disappointing, but also inconvenient as the tickets for the days I wanted to…
This year Ciaran wanted to copy August’s car from last year, but he wanted it to be the Silver Surfer, not some knock-off. So when it came time to shape the Pinewood Derby car Ciaran had definite ideas about how it should look. While we didn’t get it exactly shaped like a surfboard, it was…
Rather than post this as a regular review I wanted to turn this into a regular blog post. I feel that this isn’t a product that deserves a simple review but something a bit more in-depth, and with that comes a bit of a personal touch, at least in this case, because it does involve…
I have seen The Who twice. The first time was 2002. I had the opportunity to see the band in 1996, but opted to not go. I knew the band was largely going through the motions with regards to performing, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to see the band perform Quadrophenia followed by a few…
A couple of big things happened over the last week. I’m glad I have this regular feature on the blog to document them. First up is Easter. The kids were up ridiculously early, especially when compared to how late they were up Baseball 2016the night before. So… much… candy! And for the egg hunt they…
This month’s Geek Fuel arrived last week and August was incredibly excited. The contents were amazing, some more so than others. That book is a great inclusion. It is a 1st edition of the graphic novel biography of Stan “The Man” Lee which has a retail value of $30. Here is the Batman v Superman: Dawn…
I grew up being aware of The Who. Kieth Moon’s passing was an event I wasn’t really conscious of, happening a year or so before I truly became conscious of happenings in the world of rock and roll. 1981’s “You Better You Bet” from the album Face Dances was the first single by The Who…
This batch of pictures is going to be kind of big. There are a number of shots from St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and performances, but not necessarily of Déla dancing, which is why I didn’t include them in the previous post. Case in point. Here is Ciarán who came along to one of Déla’s performances…
Yes, it’s late, but here are a few bits from this year’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. There were a number of appearances by Déla’s dance studio. It is so difficult getting a clear shot of her as she dances. Here she is at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade (she’s the one on the right). One…
