News on Tues




Anyone remember that Biz Markie song, "It's spring again"? It was a follow up to his hit, "Oh baby you, you got what I need"? No? Well it is all I can hear in my head (with a former college roomate singing it horribly). Well, spring is springing here at the Melon compound. Crocuses are blooming, birds are singing, it is 52 deg. and sunny. Life is good.

Anyhow, Reagan had Friday off last week, so at lunch we headed to the beach. We had a nice walk.

Sat am we headed out for a brownie hike. 12 girls 4 Moms, another Dad and me wandered around in the woods for a couple of hours. Good fun. The girls seemed to enjoy it. It was a nice trip. The funny part is I went on this hike as a 2nd or 3rd grader myself back in the day. Rocks haven't changed much...

Then it was off to a fun fair Mel was working at, at the church. Good stuff.

Ian had a birthday party to go to, where the guest of honor wouldn't even come in the building his party was being held at (some monster mini golf place). Kid was freaked and went home early; everyone else partied (at least as much as 4 years olds do...).

This week is all about finishing Reagans book report (she has one a month now). loads of fun.

Hope things are blooming where you are...

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...
