I couldn't think of a good post title, so I borrowed one from Bob Marley. A few notes of recent activity... Last week, while Jodi and the kids were in Traverse City, I ran coax and telephone wires to our master bedroom so that we could move the baby

I just called Comcast to disconnect my home internet service, as we have elected to go with DSL for a while (got a good deal with AT&T where we got a deal and cheaper phone service because we also have mobile service through them). I have never had

Jodi and the kids are hanging with Grandma Jo and Grandpa Jerry, so I am flying solo. Last night was seriously depressing. The house was so empty without Dusty there to keep me company. I kept listening for a child waking and wanting something, or the

I am torn about whether or not the website will be kept alive beyond November. If I do give up the hosted site, I will probably find a free blog host (I used blogger for a while, perhaps I'll move things back there), but the forums and photos (and

If you follow golf (or even sports in general) you've heard of the contrived "rivalry" some writers are trying to create between Rory Sabbatini and Tiger Woods. To me it isn't a rivalry any more than Anthony "Pig" Miller and

The little guy is in the middle of 3 days of birthday joy. Yesterday he got some gifts from his godfather, today he got stuff from Grandma Jo and Grandpa Jerry, and tomorrow he gets to have a little celebration with his friends from playgroup. What a

Today marks a decade of marriage for Jodigirl and I. It sure doesn't seem like ten years have already passed. I keep waiting for that feeling that we're somehow getting away with something, you know, like I have something I am not allowed to have,

The next time you're having a little pity party and feeling sorry for yourself, take a look at these incredible pictures and think about what they convey. Words escape me. http://www.pulitzer.org/year/2007/feature-photography/works/index.html
