In the 7 day challenge, today’s topic is: Embed a legal youtube clip that I either found today or created myself. Then tell everyone about the clip and related information. I considered a bunch of different options for today’s post. One was a video of some birds eating berries in the snow in my backyard, but they flew away by the time I got the camera. Probably for the best, though. It would have looked nice, . . . → Read More: Telling Time – 7 day challenge For those who are unaware, I have 2 daughters, ages 6 and almost-5 (4 and 11/12ths, she tells us repeatedly). Being the perfect, completely respectful children that they are, we never have to discipline them or anything. The love just oozes out the walls in this house. Yep. I’m starting to wonder if there is some sublimation going on, though. Little things are leaking out. They sound completely innocent in delivery, but when you sit . . . → Read More: Our kids adore us I’ve realized something about myself. I hate changing state. That’s at the core of my being. I don’t like the act of changing my current condition. It almost doesn’t matter what my current condition is. I may not even like my current condition that much. I just don’t like going to a different condition. If I’m asleep, I don’t want to get up. If I’m awake, I don’t want to stop what I’m doing to . . . → Read More: Changes of state For simplicity’s sake, I’m combining the statements of both daughters (currently 4 and 3). Kids: I don’t like much boys. Me: Why don’t you like boys? Kids: I don’t know. Me: Oh. Kids: You’re a boy! We love you! We don’t like any other boys except we love you. And that’s the way it better stay for at least 15 years. Three years ago today, at 11:48pm, I wrote these amazingly insightful words: Check it out… Friday, December 9th, 2005 Looks like I am officially blogging. I am too cool for words. (Ironic, isn’t it.) Thusly did this, my first blogging experience, begin. Pretty sad, really, but there you have it. Now here we are, three years and over 400 posts later, and I figure it’s about time I looked back to see if I’ve ever . . . → Read More: Three years of yammering on…  7 comments  Comics, Corporate world, Learning, Movies & TV, music, Other, Parenting, Personal finance, Reviews, Sci-fi, Technology  Comics, corporate training, Corporate world, crusade, doctor who, e-learning, Eckhart Tolle, free, heroes, instructional design, justice league, Learning, Oprah, Parenting, Personal finance, podcasting, Reviews, Sci-fi, Spider-Man, Superman, Technology, tv If you’re not a parent or don’t want to talk about the logistics of sickness, move along… nothing to see here. You’ve been warned. So after Thanksgiving dinner was over and we were all about to head home, my nephew got sick. Really sick. Suddenly and explosively. And voluminously. It was very surprising, so for a second everyone just stood there not sure what to do. (I feel bad for my nephew, too. Not only . . . → Read More: Not for the queasy – where to get sick It’s 2am. I’m finally about to go to sleep. Before I can get into the bedroom, though, I hear my daughter whimpering in her bed. Usually, this means she has to go to the bathroom, but not always. So I go in and nicely ask what’s wrong, at which point she thrashes a bit before settling her face into the bedsheets and making what to untrained ears would be a moan. I know what she’s . . . → Read More: Are all 3-year-olds like this? As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve recently reconnected with a lot of friends from my high school youth group through the wonders of Facebook. It’s been a lot of fun. There are now over 40 of us, and over 150 pictures, many of which are proof that the 80′s should never return. But all of those pictures are of teenagers having fun – even the couple that show us in serious mode in . . . → Read More: Facebook points to the past, and I consider the future For all you dad’s out there, and mine specifically, Happy Father’s Day. Thanks for all you’ve taught us, thanks for all the fun we’ve had. Thanks for the trips to the parks, the encouragement, and the discipline. And most of all, thanks for not killing us when we put a hole through the car battery (that may only apply to my Dad…). Thanks for the support and the love. And now, a message from the . . . → Read More: Happy Father’s Day “Can you tie this to my eyebrow?” [referring to a balloon] After throwing a blanket over her own head: “POOF!
