Complaint department



It has come to my attention that my lack of updates is upsetting the general public, contributing to melting the polar ice caps, endangering the giant pandas and is an obstacle to finding a cure for diabetes. Ok, here is an update.

It is freezing here. The land is covered with a layer of ice on the top, then some snow in crystal form, then bottomed out with 4" of ice. It is not possible to shovel this stuff, it has to be chiseled. I am not loving New England at the moment...I want to go ride my bike; and not with studs.

Ian stumbled up on a hiding spot for gifts, almost ruining any mystery about a particular bearded resident of the northern hemisphere... I covered it up and don't believe he is any wiser. He could very well figure things out before Reagan, who marches along lock-step with us.

The pageant was Sunday for the kids. Reagan was a wiseman and Ian was a cow. Both did great and sang well making themselves very proud. I've got pics around here somewhere.

We got a new table and chairs for xmas. The one from my grandparents needs a good refinishing (read: Melon is way too lazy to tackle such a project) so up in the attic it goes until..well, until I am less lazy. The new one fits the room and my "style" much better. We are thrilled.

The pics here are from a couple of weeks back...

I've learned having a lightsaber (or "life saver" according to ian) fight can last hours and its something I don't get that board with. Ian is getting good at cutting my arms off. Everyone has a special talent. Mine is pairing food with the perfect Italian wine. Ok, no it is not. Maybe mine is just making up good stories. Well, maybe just making up stories...good is in the eye of the beholder.

Well that is all I've got now. Hope it is warm where you are. I'd rather be in Puerto Rico today.

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....
