Carey will be happy to hear that we are no longer “winging it” with directions. Instead we have a new GPS nicknamed Zelda. (Joy and Bobby, who also know about Scotty’s driving strategy, gave him one as well, but that went back to them because even we don’t need two.)
Zelda is officially a Garmin c340 […]
We are back from a few days at the Lake House with Lynn and John where the phone never stops ringing with calls from the various campaigns. They’ve managed to hook up their caller ID to the TV so they can easily see who is calling and ignore the phone. Too late Scotty and I […]
The best part of skiing came not while swooshing down the mountain but instead while waiting in line. The guy matching up singles and doubles for the triple chair said to the single, “You’ll go next with this little guy and his big sister.”
This went very well with an older guy’s comment as he […]
I’m not the movie fan the rest of my family is. But I do love a good political movie especially if it has great actors and crisp, fun, dialog. Charlie Wilson’s War has all of that. Plus at 97 minutes it is a movie I could sit through without checking my watch multiple times. […]
Okay, so there aren’t any falling boxes to stack or animals to take care of or things to laugh at, but I find this Free Rice web site pretty entertaining. Plus when you play it, rice gets donated to the United Nations World Food Program. Yes, I’m a nerd, but my vocabulary is getting better […]
Two must read new bloggers have appeared on the web recently. Cousins Anna and Evie are now writing. It helps to have an Uncle Bobby to set it up for you. Don’t worry. John will never take this up. His skills lie in the area of doing things like converting his temperature from decimals to […]
If only Caroline was going to Harvard, she could get a great education at a bargain price. The other day Harvard announced its new financial plan in which it will charge middle income families tuition of only 10 percent of their total income. This new plan targets families with incomes from $120,000 to $180,000 so […]
Last Monday night I attended my first and perhaps last football banquet. Even if I go to another I don’t think it could top this one for caring coaches really committed to developing young men both on and off the field. There was much talk from the school leadership (all of whom were […]
Scotty is sitting on the coach enjoying the Redskins game. That is because he recorded it and hasn’t gotten to the, in the words of one commentator, “heartbreaking” part of the game. It was another last minute loss and came on a day that Washington needed a pick me up from the murder of Sean […]
For the culmination of his unit on ancient Egypt John was required to create an “Egyptian artifact.” He quickly came up with the easiest idea he could think of – wrapping Barbie in toilet paper. Since he wasn’t to be talked into anything more complex we went with that. But I said we had to […]
