Since Scotty got an iPod for Christmas his old iPod shuffle has been adopted by John who loaded, by himself, the following:
The High School Musical soundtrack
Jazz – He isn’t clear on what exactly he put on, he just says it is jazz.

No, I’m not talking about Scotty, but the movie directed by Star Islander Steve Skrovan about Ralph Nader, which has opened in New York City and garnered a fairly good review in the New York Times. We plan to be at the Washington premiere. Especially since Scotty and Stewart bid on free passes to it […]
I can see why I’ve been following Barbaro – I’ve always loved horses, watch every Triple Crown race I can, and take riding lessons. But I’ve been surprised by how many others have been concerned over him and are upset by his death. It certainly was all over the news – front page pictures on […]
Even before we went to see The Queen, Scotty thought he would deserve both chick flick movie points and royalty points. Afterwards I had to concede them to him because while I thought it a fantastic movie he really was bored. My only quibble with the movie was I wish they had included the controversy […]
The recent spate of cold weather corresponded nicely Fairfax County’s annual two-day teacher workday break from school so Caitlin, John, and I headed off to Liberty for a day of skiing yesterday.

Scotty and John are at the pine wood derby car weigh-in for the competition tomorrow. While I heard the kids don’t want to leave the competition and you can basically count on spending your whole morning there, I didn’t realize the weigh in was something that is tough to leave too. The car qualified with […]
Carl Sandburg Middle School was in the news recently because several kids were arrested at school and charged with a hate crime. They were part of a larger group of kids which attacked and robbed an older man. According to the story the attacked man wasn’t aware it was a hate crime at the time […]
Jack and Locke are back. Or at least their relatives reappeared in our washing machine. I was doing a load Sunday morning when I realized that the water was spilling out all over the floor. Not a good thing. Scotty took a look and after he got the water drained he opened up the control […]
