And they've left me





Alone, adrift, just me and the kids and three cars. My brother Rob is off hunting Albatross on Glaciers (don't ask, it is true) and Mel is goofing off in Florida. The kids and I are stuck here, going to school and doing work...well going to school anyway.

So, playing the single dad is never fun. Not for me anyway as I look at how much more fun it would have been if Mel were there. We went mountain biking and rock climbing and had a blast. Reagan was nervous about the rocks riding her new 26" wheeled mountain bike but by the end she was all smiles and didn't crash once. I am so proud of her.

Ian was on the trail-a-bike, now hates bumps and only fell off the back of it onto the tire once. I am sure he'll be able to have kids some day... Poor guy. He is getting strong, his pedaling power made a big difference to our ability to ride fast.

So I am left to my own devices, which really means i am re-wiring the trailer to get my boat out of the water before it freezes into the creek. Brrrr. it has gotten cold up here quick.

Mel comes home on Thurs...probably with a nice tan. Hopefully I won't have misplaced one or both of the kids by then. I certainly am not licensed for this kind of responsibility... I fully expect DCF to bust down the door and take the kids to a safe house any moment now.

Pretty cool ... Now each of you get your own car. Anyone up for bumper cars?

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....
