When "he is just like you" really isn't a win for Ian...

Poor kid. You've got to feel for him. Apparently, kids look up to their parents when they are four (not so much when they are nine...but that is another story). So when I came downstairs this morning Ian ran back upstairs to his room.

I followed him. He whipped off his shirt, inside-outed it and put it back on. All because my shirt was inside out. Sure I did it to hide a stain on the front (which to my dismay, went all the way through). But poor Ian will be judged a ragamuffin today because of me... Then again, I showed up this same way to a doc visit, mostly cause I forgot about the visit and had to literally run. The spot is kinda big too, wonder what is was from...[Sadly, you won't believe how long it took me to get this shot]

In other news I should have mentioned, Reagan is cutting a CD of her new song, "Spring" (someone please tell Norby to stop singing in my head at the mention of Spring)...Her teacher and her laid down the track last night, but she wasn't singing much. Her homework is to become loud.

To help, we are going to let Reagan watch Gwen Stefani (arrrrgggghhhh -roll your tongue, like I do) on American Idol tonight... Assuming it does help, or not, I'll put the track up here next week for your audio pleasure. She wrote the music as well.

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...
