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 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…

It has been incredibly busy, as you can tell by the complete lack of posts over the previous week, but things have been so busy here. So busy that I haven’t had much in the way of pictures, so I only have a few to share. First up we have Xavier being rather daring on…
Yes, it has been a couple of weeks, I know. And I don’t even have pictures of each of the kids to make up for it. Here is Ciaran getting a little recognition for attending Cub Scout Winter Camp. Last week I took Xavier and Tevye to the zoo one morning. I keep meaning to…
We are driving to… somewhere, I don’t remember, and it is not important to this story. Anyway, I place Queen’s Day At The Races in the CD player. As the first song “Tie Your Mother Down” finishes Xavier asks “Is this Queen?” I was both pleased and proud my 5 year old recognized the band….
The box came a few days ago and August tore right into it. With a little assistance. Let’s take a closer look at the contents. Here is the game – Elliot Quest. The Deadpool keychain The Geek Fuel magnet is more decorative than functional. The magazine. While not officially licensed, it is pretty obvious which…
