Tonight we were treated to a visit from the one, the only Dave Vernon.  He was out here on business and informed me beforehand that he wanted to arrange a “few hours where he could kidnap Eve and take her picture.”  This involved him coming to the house and treating Eve to a baby paparazzi […]

Today was another long day at the office, but at least I was prepared for this one (scheduled late meeting to accommodate many time zones).  For this reason, my evening was fragmented into many different tasks, notably watching the American Idol finale, eating dinner, watching Eve while Tasha had her night out, and working on […]

Today I started the complicated work on my Dad’s ukulele.  He wanted me to install cocobolo bindings, something I have never done before.  I followed the instructions as best as I could, taking special care to measure things carefully and test out my cuts on a piece of scrap.  The StewMac binding router bits worked […]

With the recent advent of Hulu Plus on the Xbox 360, I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to augment our Netflix account with Hulu as well.  This would give us the ability to watch current TV shows on our own schedule, and we have been enjoying our Netflix heavily lately.  I suspect this […]

Today was a little different… Tasha got called to jury duty, so I got to work from home for the first half of the day (enjoying a little extra Eve time is always good!)  Luckily, she didn’t get selected and got to come home.  I always get a lot done when I’m working from home, […]

Eve’s been smiling off and on for the last few days, but this afternoon we were able to catch it on film.  She’s been acting a little differently the last few days… instead of wanting to be cuddled all the time she’s ok with just sitting propped up on my lap or in her carseat.  […]

I’ve grown tired of this WordPress theme, so over the next week or so I’ll be selecting a new one.  Nobody be surprised if they visit the blog and it looks totally different, I’ll be experimenting with some new templates so it might change dramatically day-to-day.  There’s not much else to report right now, Tasha […]

Tonight was my triumphant (ha!) return to the dojo, after a two month break.  Now that our Eve schedule is a bit more established, it’s high time that I get back to some stress-relief time and that means a return to the dojo.  We started the workout with a ton of basics in a circle, […]
