Not quite that relaxing. I figured I’ve give a little briefing on our weekend…we didn’t do a ton, but we had a nice time. On Saturday, we started with a family bike ride. Dave wanted to step up his workouts a little, so he volunteered to pull the boys in the trailer on the trail. … Read more
Timmy has recently started asking me to swaddle his favorite Webkinz, Thomas the Yellow Lab. I give him a nice tightly bundled Thomas right before bed every night and he cradles him like a baby. So tonight I gave the boys a digital photo album tour of when they were swaddled as babies: This is … Read more
At least for this week… …and part of next week… …and a teensy part of the following week. After a 2 1/2 month hiatus, Monday was my first day of doing any reserve work. My first workday since we moved to Nebraska. I’m working every day this week here in the local area, telecommuting with … Read more
This past weekend we rented a camper from the Air Force base and drove it 280 miles west of here to the town of North Platte, Nebraska. They were holding their annual “Railfest”, this big Union Pacific Railroad/Town of North Platte celebration weekend. The UP sponsors everything, lots of fun for everyone.

Friends from a life I’d all but … Read more

My Jacob turns 6 today! Enjoy the warp-speed trip through memory lane: Jacob at age 1 month: At age 3: Just about age 6 (school picture):
Dave came across the film Biloxi Blues this evening on Encore when he was surfing channels. This has to be one of my favorite movies! Matthew Broderick in the 80s was the cutest thing in the world. He’s still pretty cute now — he was a hoot in The Producers and I wish wish wish … Read more
How many of you knew that I could sew — show of hands! Yeah, that’s what I thought. Not many. Enjoy this gallery of things I’ve made. Mainly costumes, as you will see. Jacob wants to be a Jedi knight for Halloween. Okay, that doesn’t seem too hard. He showed me his Mace Windu action … Read more
I can’t believe it, we’re getting Penn State Football here in Big Red Country! On ESPN2 this afternoon! If we were still in North Carolina, we would have been subject to the Wake Forest game. I’m sure it’s because PSU’s playing Oregon State, so you’d get the most viewers around here rooting for one team … Read more
