Have you met the Lorax?

This is the lorax. He was created by Dr. Suess and it is a great story, if you've not read, I strongly recommend.

The story is about industrialization and the environment. The ending (skip this if you've not read it and plan to) is "Unless. Unless someone like you cares an awful lot, it is not going to get better. It is not."

I am a big fan of 80s music. One of my favorite bands, Midnight Oil also issued a wake up call, "360 million people, I can't hear you at all".

So do we care? What do we care about? What are we doing about it.

Work forces us to bury our heads in the sand for 8 or so hours a day, general living takes what another 2 hours. Sleep, 8 hours leaving us with 6 hours to make a difference. I dare you to check my math.

Why can't we rally support to prevent issues instead of just reacting to something. 69 days till hurricane season (and they say the NorthEast is due for a whopping). Can we cure the hurricane? How about we super-cool the ocean in its path, thereby weakening it. Of course, that'll kill the fish and probably stop the gulf stream and freeze out the UK and Ireland. (points to me for separating the two, huh Rob?).

Anyone have something to get behind? I don't want to be a cause-head but something should be done. Those that care (or convince other people that they care - or at least won't veto what their money cares about) (am I losing you? I mean the current administration) run the show without much commentary by us.

We should do something, right? And, as I end all my political speeches, it is all about the kids right?

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
