Anyone ever listened to Peter, Paul, and Mommy? Culture is good. While the girls were away, Cate and I went to the Binder Park Zoo on the 10th. That’s a COOL zoo. It’s in Battle Creek, and costs $8.50 per adult. Why is it cool? Because it’s a walk in the woods. The cheetahs and […]
On wed the 9th, I had a bad day, so my wife administered a little cinematic therapy and took me to see Pirates Of The Caribbean. That is a GREAT movie. I should say that I like pirate movies in general. I thought Cutthroat Island was a lot of fun. I knew Johnny Depp was […]
On 8 July, my wife and I went to Michigan’s Adventure. The kids were at my folks for a week, so we partied. We got there about noon, rode three coasters, and the storm hit and they closed everything. At that point I thought we were done for the day. We went into Muskegon and […]
I’ve always loved the 4th of July. As a kid we would always get the mail-order fireworks catalog, and look in the back to see what was legal in MI, and bemoan the fact that nothing cool was legal. So we ordered ground flowers, and smoke bombs, and fountains, and various other things. And then […]
I took my wife to see this yesterday. Second showing, first day (I thought it was the first showing). Why this movie, and why actions usually reserved for movies like LotR? Because my wife liked the first Legally Blond as much as I liked the LotR movies. So how was it? I thought it was […]
Toy Story I introduced it to Molly and Sophi the other day, and it’s still good. Harry Potter Believe it or not, I actually considered going to the bookstore at midnight to get my copy. Not because I needed it that early or anything, but because I wanted to see what kind of parent keeps […]
That’s the name of the one of the sets of rapids we went on last week. It was a LOT of fun. I don’t have pics yet, I didn’t take my good digital camera on the river. In the meantime, for those with broadband, you can see the video here. Franklin picked the music, not […]
Why do I let this stuff build up? Because I don’t want to post 5 times a day I guess. Alan and Junko went to have a baby today. I’m actually pretty pumped. It was first thing I thought of today, and sure enough, away they went. Alan will never want for blog post ideas […]

I upgraded my work box to rh9 the other day, and I’m finding more little oddities than I did at home. For instance, the volume control on my xmms doesn’t appear to work anymore. I started up gnome-volume-control, and the terminal spit out: Warning: This version of the Gnome Volume Controlwas compiled with OSS version […]
