Warning: lots of viral ads ahead! Last year, Shea got Pace with the old “bowl of cereal left in the freezer overnight” trick. This year, I got him a couple ways – first, I put peanut butter on both sides of his toast (though I’m not sure he even noticed or cared) and his milk […]
I’ve recently rediscovered hummus.  God, that stuff is addictive! The local hard rock radio station playing German quasi-death metal on my drive back to work after lunch recently = Jason has a very productive afternoon! 😉 I’ve mentioned this before but getting to come home for lunch every day is beyond awesome.

[Have had a couple outages in the last couple days which were noticed by both sets of parents (and tells me I have at least somewhere between two to four readers!) 😉  Anyhow, I’ve been told it may be a conflict with a plug-in, possibly the search engine plug-in I use which has grown to […]
…it’s a great resource to get non-traditional thoughts, pictures and feedback on local news and events. Just like my recent post on the value of Google Street Maps as a way to “travel” without leaving home, Reddit can help you do the same, especially when there is a current news event happening in a specific […]
