Well, I did it. A blog post a day for a whole month. I wonder what the percentage is of those who start the project and successfully complete it. There are only three blog posts that I can think of that could be filed under “questionable” which is pretty good. And I’m including that Crock…
I thought about this long and hard, and even then I’m not sure I can put this into words to convey to people, but I’m going to try. First and foremost, every criticism you may have the Catholic Church is probably valid. I’m not going to refute any of the issues people bring up. Heck,…
Happy Thanksgiving. Since today is our national day of eating, at least according to what I’ve read on the internet these past few days, I thought for today I’d provide a food related post. This was an experiment I wanted to try because… well, I don’t know exactly why. I’m not even sure where I…
BlogHer is the official host of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Post Month) and sort of organizes things to motivate bloggers to keep going.

Here is another snapshot from our trip this past summer. We have a friend here in Seattle that is from Boston. Every year she goes back for a weeks or so and visits family. She also rents a house in Maine and spends a few days with her kids on the beach. Their vacation overlapped…

I’m waiting for George R. R. Martin to finish writing his Game Of Thrones/Song Of Fire And Ice series before I start reading it. I’m probably going to wait to watch the series until I read the books. We waited so long to get Netflix. The only reason we finally “broke down” and subscribed was because…
I have quite a bit this week, including a few videos, so let’s jump right into it. Here is Ciárán learning to dive during swim lessons last Friday: I love how there’s so much build-up then… Here is a sort of compilation of other stuff from the same swim lesson. First up is August and…
Here’s the comment I posted on another person’s blog post: I wouldn’t be able to watch television without my DVR. My kids will watch live television (PBS Kids or Disney Channel) but I never watch television for myself without it being recorded. By the time the kids are in bed chances are I would have…
Nobody is consistently on-time for preschool drop off and pick up. How do I know this? I’m the only one there. Nobody seems to think it is important to be consistent to drop off and pick up their child on time from preschool. Every day I get there on time, a few minutes early, and…
