Wow, did we travel a lot, and all with two kids in tow.

Season 2 of Dexter suffered a serious sophomore slump. Bummer.
On the other hand, season 3 […]

Yesterday I spent 33 minutes in line at Ikea just to buy a 30€ gift certificate. While there I realized several things…
I hate people. Not all people… but most. Especially the chronically cheerful ones.
Watching a grown Mother/Daughter hang all over each other is skeevy. Seriously skeevy. Holding hands seems weird […]

Sick kiddo trumps the internet every time. Damned asthma. I’ll be back when life normalizes… in the meantime, have a happy & safe holiday season.

No time for a real entry today, but in the spirit of Christmas sharing I’ll leave you with one of my favorite South Park skits…

Some days are good, some are bad... all are opportunities to learn & grow.
