Where I live, it isn’t often you see great expanses like this:
I can’t believe I let Jane get so close to this cliff. She’s just hanging out there with her binoculars looking at West Virginia and the Ohio river, while I take the photo from in the car. Yes, I didn’t even want to get out [...]

I love to read My Many Colored Days to my girls. Dr. Suess can get anoying to read (over and over like kids love), but this one does not bother me. I like Go, Dog, Go, but not again and again. One Fish, Two Fish is fun, but not again and again. My Many Colored Days, [...]

I find myself getting a bit ticked off this afternoon, combing mashed potatoes out of the dog’s hair. I went to the bathroom during lunch, should have known better.
“Why can’t food stay on the plate, or least the table?” I asked my girls this over and over. How is it that a mother can turn [...]

Here is a photo of our little Ilean from around Easter. It’s an awful picture of her, she would b embarrassed for me to show it I am sure. Her top-knot is not done properly, she could use a brushing, and that darn reflection that dog eyes get in pictures…regardless, she is a hairy beast. [...]

I haven’t been posting the last few days, obviously. There are a few things keeping me busy and that is okay, but it just seems like things all pile on all at once. Add to that a good new book and well, the blog lost out last week.
Frustrations for the beginning of May:

CHAPTER 8: DADDY vs. TRYING TRADITIONAL
I love my wife. With all my heart. And I want to help her and try to the best I can. I accomplish this with “Yes, dear” and by doing whatever I’m told. My first employer once told me “Happy wife, happy life.” I’ve tried to heed his warning advice. [...]

Chapter 7: Daddy vs. Nancy Drew
So, I saw this game online that looked interesting. Nancy Drew and the Haunted Carousel (and to make it legal, it’s by HER Interactive, available now, online at www.herinteractive.com).
Anyway, I could get a free 1-hour trial. I like mystery games, so I thought, “Why not?” Long story short, [...]

Chapter 6: Daddy versus the Awkward Potty
Do you remember Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books? I used to love them as a kid. I must have read over 30 different ones from the library. I have pondered, at times, that they should publish a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book for new dads. Better yet, a whole series, with each book dealing with [...]

CHAPTER 4: DADDY VERSUS THE DISNEY PRINCES
Insanity. My kids have it. From where did it come?
Editors Note: Notice how the preposition “from” began the sentence and did not end the sentence. A preposition should never end a sentence. No matter how much I see it in our local paper, or in my kids school [...]
