The Jets lost a killer game yesterday and nearly broke my heart. The end of the game was riddiculous and had everything except the tuba player. (Inside Joke to football fans. Ask a man.) I could NOT believe they lost. Work is moving along. jQuery continues to rock the house. I wish I was a…
We uploaded new pictures to http://pictures.kokopop.com. This month we have Audrey visiting us. Audrey is the woman who took care of Ethan while Katie and I worked at Koko. She potty trained him and spent a ton of time with him during his developing years. He didn’t remember her, but they quickly got back into…
We just got back from a 10 day adventure to the east coast. We spent the first 5 days in Lake George with Danny, Dad, Me and all wives/kids. It was a good time. We went fishing and caught bass. We canoed on the lake. At one point, Abigail and Ethan wanted to canoe together…
There is a band called Lipkandy. That has Lipka in it. heh heh.
I put Matthew down on his mattress on the floor next to our bed. He starts chanting. “dohwannaseep, Mama!” “dohwannaseep, Mama!” “dohwannaseep, Mama!” “dohwannaseep, Mama!” “dohwannaseep, Mama!” “dohwannaseep, Mama!” Insistent little guy. In wonderful news, my cousin Andy had his first child today! I know nothing of details yet.
This weekend was non-stop. We went to Sacramento on Saturday morning and visited the Train Museum. It was interesting, but didn’t really hold the kids attention for too long. It was 3900 degrees that day. 3500 in the shade, which was nice, except there was no shade. Then we went to Melynda’s house for her…
Started to read Flow, by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Woof, what a name. It is interesting, but I don’t know if I am going to like it. Basically, he is saying that we can control if we are happy or not. Despite having said this before to people, something just strikes me odd about it. Happiness. Such…
Ok, this is my new theme. I hope it works for everyone. Monday was Matthew’s birthday. On Sunday, we all went to Six Flag’s Marine World in Vallejo. It was pretty fun. Ethan wanted to go on the Roller Coasters, but he was 1 inch too short for them, thank god. (47 inches) Jared and…
Welcome to Disgusting Island! I am your host, Mr. O’Rourke. On this island you will see your more disgusting fantasies comes true. Just this week we have seen: Matthew rubbing feces all over his body while on the couch! Diarhea! Jared throwing up in the Dining Room! Jared throwing up in the Kitchen! Messy Diapers!…
I took Ethan and Jared to the Foster City fireworks display last night. We had to park almost a mile away. Luckily I brought their razor’s so they didn’t get tired. We found a nice spot, right in front where we could see the fireworks right over our heads. At about T-15min, they let off…
Read this New York Times article if you are married or have a significant other. Katie sent it to me. I am not annoyed at being likened to a circus animal. Quite the contrary. I am happy that Katie has stumbled upon this concept. I want to be trained to clean up more; criticize less;…
There once was a boy who was allergic to pollen. He had hay fever. His spine also was a tiny bit curved which made sleeping on a hard surface painful. The boy also had this wierd thing where he needed to sleep with his legs apart. If his legs were together, it would bug him…
Ok, to set up the story, put your fingers up in the air in a peace sign. (Index and middle finger up, with other fingers down under the thumb). Then point your two fingers towards your eyes. Then point them away from you, straight ahead. Do this 5 times back and forth fairly quickly. Remember…
Katie and I celebrated out 8th wedding anniversary by going to a nice French (Freedom) Restaurant and watching The Miser by French (Freedom) playwright Molière. The play, at the Berkeley Rep was fantastic. We enjoyed the costumes, the sets, the acting. It was the best play I have seen since “How to succeed in Business…
