There’s a lot to recap in pictures this week. Let’s jump right in. Last Friday Kyle came over for a little while in the afternoon. We were all happy to see him, and seems to be doing well. Later that day Ciaran’s Cub Scout den visited the local fire station. I should have that post…

Please Mr. Postman (Beatles Week 2014 Day 5)

I have used “Please Mr. Postman” before in 2013 but it is highly appropriate again this year. There is a new blog post, but I will re-use the blog title and song summary. Last year I used the stereo version of the song. This year I feature the mono. Listen and compare if that is your thing….

A Flightless Bird

I got a phone call from Kyle Friday afternoon. He was out looking at places to rent, trying to move out from our house. It’s been just about a year and a half since he moved back in with us, and it took him almost a full year to start steady employment. The good news…

For Kyle At 22

By |

What a year it has been. You’ve had a rough year of it. Turning 21 is supposed to be a milestone, a sort of arbitrary signalling of full adulthood. Boy did that not work out. Let’s not get too much into the whole “college” issue. Having to move out and find your own place as…

Nope. No pictures of Thanksgiving. Remember when I posted about Déla’s gymnastics championship? This week the next quarter of gymnastics started up and the final standings were posted. Her team tied for first, but for some reason was awarded second place. Note some of those great team names. Also this week at gymnastics Xavier was…

Stolen Pizza

Every other Saturday we have pizza for dinner. Sometimes more often, but pretty much every two weeks. The logistics of why this is are not relevant to the story. A few slices were left over and I individually wrapped two of them up in aluminium foil for August to take to school. He’s the only…

Going To The Goal

I got to take my son to the Sounders FC game last night. Well, no, I got to let somebody else take my son to the Sounders FC game last night. One of the accounts I follow on Twitter is of the official account for the Emerald City Supporters, one of the Sounders FC supporter…
