We almost never get fog here on the west coast of Florida, but this week has been full of exceptions. An evening fog is almost unheard of, even out on the barrier islands.
I took Adam out for a sunset walk on the beach this evening, and even though we didn’t see much sunset, it was still really cool… mostly because of the rare conditions. It reminded me of those early morning bike…
A week or so ago I told you about the iMac we took in. I’d described it as another one of the original Bondi Blue models, to go along with the other two we have already (one that works, and another that’s fried, but we keep for parts). Cheryl brought it home after getting in late that night and we put it on the only horizontal space available: the desk in Adam’s room.
Adam woke…
Beth and I finally made it out to Honeymoon Island for a good hike. I’d been waiting to take my new camera out to the park to hunt for some good pictures, and by golly, today was an excellent day for it. We had a high around 80 with a nice sea breeze to mix up the air a little… what you might call a chamber of commerce kind of day… one for the brochures.
I posted a bunch of the…
Beth is learning about electricity this week, along with some of the basic physics involved. So it looks like this week I’m teaching physics!
If you’ve got a school aged child, you too may be familiar with the task of filling in the teaching gaps.
We started out kind of backwards, because for some reason her assignment/textbook addressed conductors and resistors BEFORE it covered…
My boy Adam is a climber. The only think he likes better than climbing is leaping.
We now pause this entry for a little reconsideration.
On second thought, it’s hard to figure how much a boy likes to climb when he also likes to leap. Think about it.
It’s getting to the point were I’m considering taking Adam’s craft table and chairs out of our family room. It’s a…
I can excuse Cheryl. She’s always saying her job sucks. But me? I’m supposed to be the lucky one, the one that glows from the daily infusion of fulfillment that work provides.
So explain this conversation to me.
“Hi John. Adam’s teacher just called me and Adam is throwing up all over the place.”
“So you want me to pick him up?”
“No, I’ll pick…
The other night Cheryl and I were having a discussion about the feasibility of vertical diaper changing. We were having this discussion in front of Adam; diaper change in progress. We don’t normally argue in front of the kids, but in our defense it wasn’t really an argument… more a vigorous exchange of thoughts and ideas.
At one point I said to Cheryl, “listen, I’ve…
At Last! The new camera finally arrived. Now my only problem is there haven’t been enough things to photograph. I thought this weekend would offer up lots of opportunity, but the open house at Honeywell wasn’t completely open. There were no cameras allowed.
I really should have known. If I’d given it any thought, I wouldn’t have set myself up for disappointment. Now…
