Two visits to the hospital in three days. First Jared feel at pre-school into a triccyle and gashed the inside of his lip. Part of his lip was just hanging off. At the ER, the doctor said they rarely do anything with inside mouth lacerations because they usually heal quickly…

Apparently Jared cut his mouth today on a rusty tricycle. Might need stitches. I will follow up. But speaking of stitches, the last time I got them was when I was playing football in 6th grade. I jumped up for an interception in the secondary, when suddenly Emil Bodenstein came…

I finished reading The Da Vinci code. I was annoyed through the whole book. I had forgotten why I do not read fiction anymore. This book reminded me. From now until I forget again, I am only reading non-fiction. I am still on Power Broker. Great book. Actually, I find…

This Article from MSNBC is pretty interesting. I think the federal government, by design, is totally imcomprehensible. Articles like this at least start you off in the right direction. Not all is as it seems to be. Do not judge a policy by its PR campaign. Anyway, lately I have…

I just install this add on Sidebar for Windows XP. Also this Windows Transformation Pack. The combination of these two basically make your Windows XP box look like Longhorn. I think I am going to install Longhorn natively here at my desk. The lure of Beta software is just too…

About 6 hours until the big game. My prediction is the Eagles by 7. I predict this for 3 reasons. 1. I love the underdog. 2. I hate Bill Belichick because he quit the Jets after 1 day. And 3. I hate the Yankees and all other “Dynasties”. I love…

Jared came into our bed this morning. He reached over and felt Katie’s back. She has a mole there. A small protuberance. Here is the dialog: Jared: “Is this mommy’s penis?” Daddy: “No, it is not. That is a mole.” Jared: “Noooooo. It’s her penis!” Daddy: “I promise, it’s a…

Where is fancy bread? In the heart or in the head? My house is a mess. We need to stop doing “fun stuff” with the kids for a week and clean up. I suppose it is just part of my personality. I am very uncomfortable in a messy house. I…

Ethan asked if he could try sleeping with underwear at night. He said, “If I pee in the sheets then I will go back to pull-ups”. Two nights in a row, he is dry as a bone. Good Boy. He is pleased with himself. I am pleased with him too.…

Matt said his first word (I think). He said Abu Ghraib. He was very distinct and clear. I am just unsure why he chose to say that. Could he be saying that Abu Ghraib is a sign of American willingness to be as brutal as any dictatorship and look the…

I provide technical support for a dozen or so people on an ad hoc basis. I have recommended software to people countless times. I have supported the Microsoft view of the world and Windows software for 20 years. I have never installed Linux (sorry Aunt Susie). This article shows the…

It’s good to be back home. Its nice and temperate. I love our house. It feels so comfortable. Now if only we could clean out the garage and put everything away. Maybe I could make the crib too. And hang up some pictures. Good to be back at work too.…

We were scheduled to fly out of JFK on Saturday, but 30 inches of snow conspired to keep us on the east coast. The first flight JetBlue could reschedule us was Tuesday morning. So we need to get up tomorrow at 5am to pack and get the car to the…

Yes, the Jets somehow lost the game. But let me start at the beginning. My brother scheduled his wedding at the exact time of the game against Pittsburgh. I told him not to do it, but would he listen? No. Nice brother huh? So my only link to the game…
