    My 35th birthday was last Friday.   I don’t get many presents anymore since it seems that as I get older presents becomes less and less important until I get really old, like 65 :-).  I do still get red envelopes from my parents, bless their heart. I’ve decided that my birthday is going to last…

    My little girl is going through a phase where she doesn’t want her picture to be taken anymore.  So sad for the paparazzi dad.  I end up sneaking photos when she is not watching, but I can only do that on my Treo when I pretent I’m just checking email. I hope she gets out…

    I’m going through another crazy phase in my life.  I’m getting into coffee again after a hiatus of about a year or so. I used to be the barista for my friends and family with this little Gaggia Classic .  This little puppy really served me well.  Even though there was a lot of manually…

    Just wanted to document my very long but leisurely day with my little girl so I don’t forget. Saturday morning started at 6:30 when Kate bounced up and asked me whether she could make crepes.  Of course, I love crepes.  She ran into the kitchen and got all the ingredients ready.  She measured the flour,…

    Just got this email from Kate’s school, it doesn’t sound like the next few weeks will be fun. Time to give Kate a good scrub down just in case. Unfortunately, there have been some lice found in MK so we’re asking everyone to please stay aware so we can minimize any spreading. If you’re not…
