Today we got Dragons fourth and final report card for 5th grade. After the ultimate grounding of all time (we were actually running out of ideas, short of sweatshops in Mexico), parents looking over every bit of his homework & grades, parent correspondence with teachers and a family trip to the beach cut short [...]

The lake

Christabel and the Jons are playing out of the Cerwin-Vegas at the ancestral beach house right now. I’ve been drinking a good deal of alcohol, flitting around on a nice speedboat, and talking with folks that feel like they’ve always been family, but only have been (in reality) for a few months.
Good times.

Do dogs go to heaven?
May 16, 2008; 7:26 am
Dragon asked us that on Wednesday night after we told the boys that Cami (my sweet, old dog) probably has cancer. I had just received the phone call from my vet. And after sitting on the bed for a bit, being held tightly by my tender, understanding husband, it was bedtime for the boys.
We talked to them [...] -
Moms
May 11, 2008; 11:00 am
I’ve always felt that motherhood is the most challenging, exacting, important, amazing role that any person can play in the world. Don’t get me wrong, as a father myself, I’m a fan of good daddies, but theres something in the way that little kids (and big kids) look at a mom, whether its when [...]

Itchy dance
May 9, 2008; 7:40 am
The “burn” of the sunburn is about cleared up. Now we have itchies…
Don’t be surprised to see anyone one of us (except Wildcat, of course) using buildings, trees or any textured surface to scratch our peeling sunburn….
These guys have figured it out.. -
Home alone…
May 8, 2008; 8:17 pm
Well, Notat had the evening at home tonight while I am pulling the weekly closing shift.
I got these text messages a couple hours ago… he had just gotten home from work and picking up the boys. These span over about 20 minutes. (note: we keep the pup in the kitchen when gone for more [...] -
Happy Birthday, Wildcat!
May 7, 2008; 2:34 pm
So, its the boy’s birthday.
As this is a newey blog and stuff, we’ve been coming up with new supersecret internet names, as discussed in some of the recent comments. Obviously, mine isn’t very imaginative.
The 5 6 yr old is now at the age where he can come up with one, and he got all [...] -
Back home again, from the beach
May 5, 2008; 7:37 am
OK, we’re back home again. Our beach trip, not counting driving, lasted a mighty 36 hours. Add that to the 16 hours of driving, and it equals the vacational equivalent of going to visit your brother in the Florida state pen.
Not that my brothers there, yet.
This is a pictorial account of my vacation, by me.As [...]
