Big News on Monday




What an amazing weekend. One of those where lying in bed last night, Mel says "we were on the go all weekend long, I need another one."

The biggest news: in her last game of the season Reagan scored. Her first goal of the year, the teams only yesterday. She shot a beautiful goal, right past the goalies outstretched arms. The crowd went wild (or at least I did). I am so proud. She really enjoyed it.

My brother Pete turned 30 on Sat. We went up to Boston, despite the rain and wind, having a nice lunch with Pete, Lauren and some of his chums. Good day to be drinking.

Sunday saw the printing of my first letter to the editor ( seen here ). New Jersey's decision to create a fair but equal gay marriage making both sides unhappy and me upset at the intolerance. Today, Ian's teacher called me out on it. Great, now I am infamous.

A lot of prepping for Hallow's Ween. Carving, baking of seeds, decorating the yard. The kids still don't know I am dressing up as Mr. Incredible (like I need a costume...). Should be a hoot.

More to follow...

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....
