Note: Looks like Flash movie no longer works. Sorry but it was pretty funny. People who create stuff like this should leave links in place but all to often move stuff around or discontinue things.

Baby Andy on Easter

March 31, 2008

It’s hard to believe that our new grandson, Andy is almost three months old. During the first eight weeks, it didn’t seem like their was much change.

Kids Want Everything Their Parents Have – Now!

November 11, 2007

I don’t always understand the logic of today’s youth. They get out on their own, out from underneath mom and dad’s wings and they feel they have to have everything their parents have right away.

October 26, 2007

After spending countless weekends brushing and sweeping my parent’s pool as a young child, I vowed to never own a swimming pool myself. They are just too much work. That changed a few years ago when we put in a pool. What changed in my thinking? Unlike the pool of my youth, this one was [...]
