Last night Evan slept in his “bed” fairly well. He spent the night there, waking up a couple of times (which isn’t altogether unusual for him). Our little cat Ginger curled up with him for a good portion of the night, since we left the door open and the baby gate up. As you can […]

Getting ready for his big boy bed
For the past couple of weeks, we’ve had a twin size mattress on the floor of Evan’s room next to his crib. There have been a few nights where he wasn’t sleeping well, so that way one of us could go sleep in his room to keep him company so the other could get some […]
Bicycle Camping on the Rock Island Trail
Last weekend, Derrick, Dave and myself finally got together for a guys-only winter camping trip. It was my first tent-camping trip in a couple of years and the first guy time I’d had in quite some time. In the days preceding the trip, we decided to do a sort-of double trip. We planned to camp […]
Video of Tim Storms
As I mentioned in an earlier post, Tim Storms is the current world record holder for lowest vocal note. I found a clip of him singing “Amazing Grace” with the group “Rescue”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFbjtmubBFQ The lowest note he sings in that clip is the lowest C on a piano (C1), approximately 32Hz. That’s over an octave […]
Travel issues
This week I’m traveling on business to the lovely state of Alabama to do some testing of our software in the field. Right now it’s almost 10pm, and I’m going to bed soon, having been awake for the last 40 hours, not counting a 45 minute nap. Let’s just say, the travel didn’t go as […]
Proof that I’m lame
Here it is New Years and we’re sitting alone at home, having a snack and watching New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, so this post is proof that we’re lame. In fairness, we did have an invitation to a party out of town, but that wouldn’t be very fair to Evan. If he doesn’t get his nap […]
Door surfing
Tonight at 7pm, right after we got home, there was a knock on the door. It was the girl from across the street, whom we hadn’t really met before, asking to use the phone. She’d gone out to walk the dog she was taking care of and discovered her apartment door wouldn’t open with her […]
Out of gas…
Yesterday we were around town and decided to test drive a full-size truck, just to see what it was like. Our salesperson was a young lady who’d only been on the job a couple of weeks. She came out to meet us in the lot and let us take one for a spin by ourselves. […]
The Christmas (shopping) Spirit!
I’ve always been under the impression that Christmas, regardless of your religious affiliation, was a time of giving and goodwill toward your fellow man. Whereas Christmas might bring out the best in people, Christmas shopping certainly must bring out the worst. In an attempt to get past some of the incidents of this Christmas shopping […]
If only I had a camera…
This afternoon was the last performance of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” for the season, so Evan and I hung out backstage while Dusty was getting ready. Evan got to meet most of the cast and run around a bit, but his favorite element was the group of cloggers (ladies ranging from teenagers to […]
