Internet safety

January 31st, 2008 · 1 Comment

Tru’s been digging on Star Wars videos on YouTube lately. That’s fine, but he’s also figuring out the address bar in a browser and just kinda being the 6-year old information sponge he’s supposed to be. All good. But a little worrisome since you never know what he’ll come across (no, I don’t sit right [...]

Snowboarding with Tru

January 26th, 2008 · No Comments

Tru and I went to Skibowl this afternoon and rode for about 2.5 hours. He went on the lift for the first time, and that was a pretty cool deal. I had to get him out of school early so we could play hooky together. I think he might’ve liked that most of all…

Amy had to teach this morning, so I had to figure out how to avoid the “housebound boy” syndrome (multiplied by three).

Blog brain drain

January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

I turned off the auto-update from EcoQuaker to this blog. It was annoying me, so it was probably annoying you, too. You’re welcome.

New blog

January 1st, 2008 · No Comments

You’ll notice some weird posts earlier today. Those are pulled in from my latest diversion: EcoQuaker. I don’t know what my fascination with blogs is all about. Amy doesn’t even blink anymore.
Anyway, this one (should it stay alive more than a few months) is about being green, about being an environmentally conscious Christian and pretty [...]
