News on Monday

Ok, just an abridged version today. I am currently sitting in Hartford waiting for my plane and found wi-fi signal strong enough...

Reagan's party was fun yesterday. She was thrilled to be the center of attention and get lots of presents. Ian wanted to help too much and was disappointed when his sister wanted to play just with Zach...but life goes on. Reagan got lots of clothes, very much needed as she is sprouting faster than we seem to be able to cloth her... We tool a lot of pictures, but you'll have to wait for me to upload them from the camera at the end of the week. sorry about that.

It was good to see family again. I sense one of my brothers are edging closer to a big step in life. I won't name names (or steps) but it is interesting to seem them walk through the common doors of life.

I am headed down to Indy today. Flying hours out of my way (I am a giver...) to have dinner with my long lost cousin, Kristi from Alaska. I've not really known her, the Alaskan folk tend to stay there and I missed the family trip up to Alaska... So I am really looking forward to getting to know her...

Ian's thought for the day: If you can dress like a pirate (hat, eye patch and sword) why not? I had to convince him that going to school dressed like a pirate was not a good move; though in my heart, it is how I would have chosen to go to school too...

Reagan is already wearing (Mel doesn't even know this...) one of the skirts she got yesterday. We had a tough time matching accessories, but I think she is presentable. Again, a big thanks to everyone...

todays survey

Since you all have done so well with the past two surveys I've taken ( another shirt slogan for Dad and do you get full eating salad or just bored ), here is another: If you eat, say, a bag full of fortune cookies - and I am not saying I have - do they all come true or just a first/last rule? Do they all negate if you eat more than one? Anyone? Bueller?

And now we are One!!!!

Who would have thought: you would keep reading after day 3? I would keep writing after day 2? (see http://robertwmason.blogspot.com/ for reference) that you would get anything out of this? that I would get anything out of this? that I would make 250 posts into this thing..? And "get" I did. Last month, I signed my first contract for a writing position (in my free time) with a Rhode Island magazine. I used many excerpts from my blog as samples and they dug it, enough to want to pay me. I am very excited about that. A big thank you to all of you that keep reading that misadventures of my family, friends and I. The journey thus far has been fun and giving you a bird-eye view into our lives is weirdly fun. At first it was like walking around naked, now I am a full fledged nudist; so to speak. In looking back over the first year, I live like a king. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of reflection to see how good you've got it. Usually this hits me on business trips and ...

How I'll probably die

My new thing has gotten me running, yes running, the past week without complaint and without watching the clock. Unfortunately, the high-risk fringe sport will probably have Ian find me at the end of the treadmill runway, twisted, with a guitar slung from my neck. What is it you ask? Some kind of Mariachi Marathon? Close. Running while playing Guitar Hero is the greatest thing since running with my buddy Jeff. Come to think of it, that really was just running with someone calling you, "fatty" the whole time, but I digress. Running while jamming on guitar trying desperately to keep up with great hits like "American Women" and the surprisingly fitting, "Band on the run". See what I did there? Anyhow, it is freaking amazing. No longer are my eyes glued to the maddening clock. No longer am looking at data (which I seem to hate when it is counting my exercise), I am playing a game. I am a Rock God when I run. Now, I know what you are thinking. Being a...
