Beatles Week Prep

Beatles Week Prep

Every year I participate in an exercise – Beatles Week. No, it’s not like NaBloPoMo, an organized event for bloggers, but it should be. At this point I’m the only one who does it. Originally created by Mark on his personal blog in 2008 I followed suit in 2009 and have been “carrying the torch”…

NaBloPoMo 2013 Victory Lap

By |

Success. At least as far as I am concerned. I wrote up a blog post for each day this month, which I did when I first tried this experiment two years ago, but this time around there are a couple of major differences. First, I only had one “bad” blog entry, right in the middle…

Boston Bound Again

I’m headed to Boston again, and pretty much for the same reason as last time. I don’t know what happened, but not only did I not really write about the trip, I didn’t plan it very well and didn’t do as much as I thought I would. This time I’m planning ahead. I have a…

The Missing Blog Post

By |

I sat down to finish writing a blog post. I got a better idea and opened up a different page, closing the one I was working on. Then something in the kitchen called me. It was less than 10 steps away. And when I go there I couldn’t remember what I went in there for….

Dad Bloggers Don’t Post

By |

Alright, so that title may be misleading, but there isn’t a way to encapsulate what I want to say. Why aren’t more dad bloggers participating in NaBloPoMo? Heck, many of the ones I’ve talked with recently didn’t know about it. Some have heard of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month – basically writing a book) but…

NaBloPoMo 2013

By |

Here we go again. You may remember… well, most likely not, considering my numbers… I did this a couple of years ago and it was an underwhelming “success” (in that I got a post posted each day). I am participating in NaBloPoMo, or National Blog Post Month where the idea is to have a blog…

Top 5 Driving Songs

By |

I am stealing this idea directly from Chris Read (Canadian Dad) and while it wasn’t an original idea of his, it was because of his post that I’m creating this one. Top 5 Driving Songs His were summer specific but I’ve got no qualms about driving with the same music in the summer or winter….

Lost And Off Task

By |

I haven’t had as much time and opportunity to blog about the trip as I had initially planned. I thought I would have more time, but that’s not the case. Almost every day we’re out of the house by 10 in the morning and by the time we return and get dinner and the kids…

The Fashion News?

By |

Yesterday I spent some time continuing to rip my CDs to MP3. Yes, this is a project that I am continuing to work on, one that was the subject of my first blog post over 4 years ago. This time it was mostly my collection of Dead Milkmen and Depeche Mode. The two bands have…

Not Over Yet

By |

The kids don’t have school today. Public school is still in session, but for my kids it is a day between trimesters.   I had planned on taking them to the aquarium and possibly Pike Place Market this morning. Since Xavier is still taking afternoon naps, I thought a solid morning outing followed by a…
