My brother and his family get here today
We are having a party for my Dad on Tuesday. It was supposed to be a surprise but my family doesn’t know how to keep a secrets. That probably says a lot about who we are as people – hopefully good things, meaning that we are open and honest. Anyway, as part of the party [...]
To Retrospect or Not?
I was having a moment this morning while I was working out. All in all it was pretty wierd. I think it was because, having a moment to think while I’m focused on working out and while I have a movie blasting (which I always do) just seems unlikely. That is too many things that [...]
Video Distribution in a Motorhome
My folks are visiting for the month and they stay nearby in their motorhome which is great cause they get their space and we get ours yet we all get plenty of time together. Anyway, last year their motorhome got broken into and they had a bunch of stuff stolen. They had not yet re-connected [...]

Xander and Mitchell are in a summer camp this week and it ends today with a field trip. They’ve asked for parent chaperones so I’ve volunteered so I’m heading off in a minute.

Quick Project for Mom/Dad

It’s specifically for holding an ice maker that is currently occupying too much of their dining room table. They want to reclaim that (while giving up a bit of hall space). Motor home cabinets all have to [...]
My parents are in town…
… which is great. I enjoy my parents. My boys are having fun with them and enjoying visiting with them and especially their dogs. My mom’s computer was having some email problems though and while we were camping, I tried to fix it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do it. I also noticed that while the computer [...]
Harry Potter Mania!
Xander is finally getting excited about Harry Potter. The movie has been out for a week or so and he is really out for us to go see it this weekend. Kathy and I screened it last week (pretty entertaining though lots of bits left out). He’s not letting up so we’ll probably take care [...]

24 – No the TV Show, Our Anniversary!
Today, Kathy and I have been married for 24 years. Something pretty cool has been happening the last few years too. I’ve mentioned that Kathy and I made an important choice to manage our money so that we could both be full time parents in past posts. Since that choice and since Kathy and I’ve [...]
