Tonight, after Hailey’s shower, I was helping her dry off when I rubbed her nose and said, “It won’t come off. There’s something here on your face but it won’t come off!”
“No, Daddy. That’s my nose. It stays on my face.”
“A nose?” I questioned her.
“God put it there ‘cuz that’s how he made me. He used special glue.”
There you go.
God has special glue.

My family gave me tickets to Star Wars in Concert for this past Christmas. The boys and I had a blast. So, for Christmas 2010 I have an idea. I mean, come on! Who wouldn’t love to share this with their kids?

I just learned about a movie which I am now convinced I need to see. It is called “The Human Experience”. Be sure to go to the About page and read more. The movie has already won several awards and my favorite quote about the movie is: A doc with so much heart in the right place
-Indiewire If you want to see the trailer, you can find it on the main site, but I think Apple’s site delivers the video more easily.

For my birthday, my parents talked with Julie to determine a good gift idea. Julie made a good recommendation and I received EA Sport Active. I only received the gift this past weekend, and I have to admit, I made an excuse on Monday morning and did not start using the program. So Monday evening I set up my profile and I no longer had an excuse.
Tuesday morning I began the 30-day Challenge. Granted, I started with the “Light Intensity” but I figure this is enough for my current level of activity. Hopefully in 30 days I can try out the “Medium Intensity” level.
After two mornings, I can tell you this is not a simple game. It really does challenge me. The blasted Wii knows if I hold the position long enough, if I kick my legs high enough, etc. Sometimes this is frustrating. I mean, come on, I squatted and jumped but the rollerblade dude on the screen didn’t do these things! Oh well, I will get more used to the...

It is my birthday and my utopia is crumbling all around me. To be more precise, it is melting all around me! It is currently 42 degrees, and there is not a safe place in sight for my lovely snow.
See, if you didn’t know, I love the cold weather. Big surprise – I was born in the winter during a snowstorm, after all. So the big dump of snow right after Christmas was wonderful! Sure, it caused some problems with traffic and schools were closed for two days longer than planned. But overall, it was cold and there was plenty of snow. Whoopee!
Then it started. That nasty warm wind just had to mess with things. Pretty soon we started seeing green grass where wonderful white snow was showing only the day before. In the past two days we have lost three inches in snow depth. And the trend is to stay warm for a few more days.
I guess nothing can last forever. However, I found out Calvin agrees with me. So at least there is one other snow lover out there.

We turned on "Friendly URLs" on the web site and I have noticed a few issues with the blog posts. So, here is a test to see if I have everything corrected.
