As I mentioned yesterday in my random thoughts about the McCartney concert post, one of the things I learned in advance of the show is that McCartney often picks out someone holding a sign in the front rows and brings them on stage to meet them or accept the gift they’ve brought or whatever. Regina […]
We were out of town this weekend for Shea’s parents’ 40th Wedding Anniversary so I didn’t get around to blogging as we were pretty busy the whole time. Instead of going back and post-posting (er, is that a word? Backdating posts to keep my “daily post” commitment going anyhow), I thought that, this time I’d […]
And a father’s prayer too (especially that part about not lying with drummers)… 😉
What’s that word for when you’re feeling an equal mix of happiness and sadness? Â That’s what I feel when I look at this photo of Pace waiting for the bus on his last day of kindergarten… (Okay, mostly happy but a twinge of sad!)
I would’ve sworn I posted this video around Pace’s first day of kindergarten but apparently, I only put it on Facebook.

Hard to believe that tomorrow is Pace’s kindergarten graduation. The past year has flown by in so many ways – when the year started, Pace was an only child; now he’s a big brother. When the year started, he was still working on learning his alphabet, now he’s regularly writing out complete sentences (phonetically – […]

I’ve written about Sam Baker before – a Texas singer-songwriter whose ultra-streamlined literary style and unique vocals have drawn comparisons to Leonard Cohen: Baker captivated me. His songs are closely observed narratives of eccentric and marginalized people finding meaning in seemingly defeated lives–almost like Leonard Cohen’s, if Cohen had been a Baptist raised in West […]
I’ve been taking at least a photo of Sasha every day since she was born. I’d seen various videos made from daily pics of babies, kids and others over the years but didn’t put a lot of thought into doing this with Sasha until, oh, pretty much the day she was born. While hanging out […]
The police often get the short end of the stick in terms of public perception but stories like this one show there are definitely good cops out there. In my line of work, it’s not often that you can arrest somebody on multiple occasions and end up being friends with them. On the flip side […]
