Today is Erin’s birthday. She reaches a nice, ripe-old age of [you have to ask her]. This is exciting for me. There was a time when I was unsure I would ever celebrate birthdays with a wife and now we have been together for a while. 2007, 2008, 2009, and now 2010. At one point, [...]

Another year has come and gone. CAMPER is now going on 18 months, he surpassed the one year mark and is now trying to walk. Which is pretty cool to watch. He is also trying to speak and rambles on in baby-babble for long periods of time, especially when he is upset over something and [...]

For a variety of reasons I can’t seem to sit down, long enough, at a computer and write out a blog entry. None of the reasons are due to lack of interest in the blog or, for that matter, lack of things to say. The world is an interesting place filled with opinions and people [...]

I think I often have great plans to do big things. I think some of those big things include my blog and making it more popular and more accessible.
