Enough said. It has been a busy few weeks here. I missed Father’s Day or did it miss me? All I wanted was some time to relax and spend some time playing with Avery and I got my wish, but it seems that I am still relaxing. I have been keeping [...]

Well, I am finally going to do it. I am planning to do my first triathlon in early July (July 9th). I guess it forces me to lose some weight and get back into shape. I have cut back my daily calories to between 1500 and 2000, and have been running a [...]

Posting will now resume as normal. My web server was doing upgrades and migration of this site, and to be honest, I was deathly afraid of losing data if I posted during the upgrade process, so hence no updates. Hmmm. Now what to post?

I decided that since Avery is eating the same food we are, that it was time to do a little research into restaurants that offer free or extremely discounted meals to children in the Kansas City area. This, by all means, is not an all-inclusive list, as I am sure that I am just [...]

Avery has learned the key to her daddy’s heart. All it takes is an adorable whisper and one sound repeated. Da-Da. Much unlike the bla-bla-blahs, that are yelled at the top of her lungs, her da-da is deliberate. Albeit she still does not allows put what she is saying with my presence, [...]

She [...]

In honor of the fact that it is June 6, 2006 (6-6-06) I give you the story of a man who was plagued by the baby calls when he had the 666-6666 phone number years ago. According to O’Reilly Emerging Telephony writer Bruce Stewart, babies are suckers for the number “6″ on a telephone.

Fishing? What’s that? Never done it before, but there is always a first for everything. We left from Biloxi around 7am yesterday on a 30 foot charter. 6 people, no bathrooms, not much seating, some drinking water, and a lot of fishing gear.
We headed out about 5-7 miles into the [...]

It was decided by airport personal that my luggage along with the rest of the plane’s passenger’s luggage would not be brought along on our flight. So, I spent yesterday in jeans and a two shirts in 95 degree heat and [...]
