Well, Kid Number One finally did it. He’s employed! He got his first job last week and his first day was Saturday. It was really kind of strange, actually. Chris drove him to his place of employment – I rode along. After we dropped him off I looked at Chris and said “Hey – we […]

Sometimes there are situations in life that you want to avoid… but not really. What you really want is to be able to move beyond and past the way that situation makes you feel, deep inside. You really want to experience the thing for what is today.. not for what it was yesterday. But.. it

We’ve lived in this house for 3.5 years and have YET to see a door-to-door salesman. Heck, we don’t even get kids here for Trick-Or-Treat – – we’re too far off the beaten path for the kids to hike all the way out here for a piece of candy. No salesmen, No kids. Never even

Firefox 2.0 was released this week featuring a refined user experience and a great many new developer features. The fine (and envious) folks from Redmond, WA (aka – Microsoft) sent the Mozilla developers a cake, congratulating them on the release of 2.0.

It looks like it’s going to be one of those days. I’m sorry to have to do this to you – but I think my head will explode if I don’t share this with you today. Right here. Right now. My apologies, in advance.

Chris and I are both serious pack rats – for whatever reason, we both have a difficult time letting go of the trinkets that make up our own personal history – a/k/a our baggage.

So, the new and improved Microsoft product that we’ve all be waiting for (well, maybe YOU’VE been waiting for) was released today. Does the crow go wild? Hardly.
I did a post about it over here. If you haven’t turned off your automatic updates – don’t be surprised to wake up in the morning to find that you now have a completely different browser than what you were used to (that is directed towards IE users)….

I feel bad. Bad mother… bad, bad mother.
My daughter is working on a history project called “The Chronical Project”. My son had to do it last year – see the post I did about his project here. To recap – the project is a chronicle of the years of her lifetime – so 1991 – 2006. During those years, she has to pick 12 historical events that happened in his lifetime, and 12 personal events…

I’m THRILLED to report that it is that time of year again – – and as an extra added treat, it has come much earlier than usual. Keeping my fingers crossed that it actually sticks this year! Last years snowfall was pathetic and our family skiing season passes virtually went to waste last year. My

I do love my Mac. I operate both.. a PC and a Mac. I’m not a Mac-convert, though… something about old habits die hard.. or teaching an old dog new tricks… blah blah. Regardless of what anyone says – I have had my Mac (OSX) crash on me. It’s possible – but not nearly the
