Cole is having his first birthday party tomorrow. (Though his birthday isn’t until the tenth.) Candace, in her usual party planning style, has a fun day planned for our family. The theme is a “Monkey Luau.” I’m sure we’ll have plenty of pictures and videos afterward. But
When we first moved into our current house, we tried to meet our neighbors. Paul, the neighbor to our left, has turned out to be a good friend. He was once a highly intelligent physicist but a few years ago he got in an accident that made him severely handicapped,
Tonight I was waiting for Candace and Cole to come home from California so I decided to watch the Academy Of Country Music Awards. I’m usually not much into these award shows. (Mostly because country music seems to be more corny than country for the last five years.) Though

Well, I missed last month so I thought I better get right on it this month. Here are random things to post but that don’t deserve their own post. 1) A while back I posted about Martin Luther and how much I have enjoyed his writings and his history.
I’ve always wished that the cable companies would allow you to pick and choose which channels you wanted to have on your account. Not only would this allow for a much lower bill, but it’d also allow for much more digital bandwidth to be available so all of
I’ve had a few requests on a Cole update so let’s get at it. Here he is his first time swimming in Aunt Rachel’s pool. Helping Mom with the laundry. His first black eye. First visit to San Francisco. (I’ve been dreaming of taking my son

A long time ago, my dad went on a business trip back East and he came back with the best headache medicine ever. They are called “Goody’s” and they are wonderful. They come in powder form so when you take one, it moves so quickly into your system. Headaches

A few days ago I received a nice email from my aunt. Part of it read: Funny…I am in my room and Madison just came running in. “Hurry, turn on 110.3 FM. Cousin Brian’s song is on!!!” I turn it on and start laughing, because of course
Cole is quite a fun boy to be around. Since I run my business mostly from home, I get to take Cole breaks during the day to play with my son. I consider it one of the best perks of my job. Cole has four things that fill up most

A short list of thoughts: * I think that the whole world eats toast the wrong way. Try eating it with the butter side down. If you’re going to get the calories anyway, let your taste buds have that butter bath. * What is it about the Beach Boys music that
A popular gift for Christmas is always a gift card. I received a few this year and I look forward to using them. Stores love selling gift cards because so many of them go unused. So, your friend or family member gave the store $40 for the gift card, and
Cole is fast approaching 6 months. He is playful and kind. He smiles within 15 seconds of waking up and doesn’t stop all day. (I think he gets that from Candace.) Click on the image below to watch a short clip Cole talking and laughing with his mom.
I wish they’d solve the Holloway case soon. Each time I open up CNN it seems like I’m looking into a mirror from a few years ago . The “you look like…” emails have been pouring in. Don’t they know, if it was me in the picture the
Candace and I went to the James Taylor concert on Saturday night. It was a nice evening. As usual, Candace looked beautiful. As we were wading in the Mandalay Bay of Immodesty , she stood out as a woman of value and morals and that makes me adore her more. Before
