End of Silence

The La was sick all weekend with a sore throat and a fever that hovered around 102 for a while. She seems better now, but she’s been keeping us on our toes with the odd habit of holding all of her drool in her mouth, apparently avoiding swallowing because it’s too painful, and then randomly [...]

There’s an article in yesterday’s Statesman about a small business. The interesting part is that it’s in the house where The Boy was born. The article briefly mentions that it was a “midwifery”. I’m not sure that’s a correct application of the word, but whatever. It’s not the type of store I’d typically visit, but [...]

There are tons of sites out there that allow you to make different sorts of lists. Amazon lets you make lists that are stored on their servers and they also make an API available to search their product database. Other sites take advantage of this and allow you to keep lists of DVDs, books, whatever. [...]

We haven’t been having much luck with photos lately, which is why I haven’t updated the picture of the week in a while. The Wife forgot to bring the camera with her to Reston. We also didn’t take many pictures while my mom was here this weekend. On top of that, it seems that the [...]

The Boy started Pre-K at UT Elementary School today. He started the morning bright-eyed in his uniform of a white polo and khaki shorts. He was yodeling or something as we were getting ready. I first said “Boy, please.” which he apparently didn’t understand as a request to stop. When I explained to him that [...]

The Wife and kids returned from Reston yesterday morning. I picked them up from the airport, had lunch with them and then headed to work for the afternoon until my dentist appointment at 4:15. I got out of the dentist appointment in time to catch Steve Burns’ in-store appearance at Waterloo Records, although I missed [...]

I sent our little gift from G.W., “Tax relief for America’s families” as it said on the check, to my bank last week. It was returned back to me on Saturday with a note, “Payable 2 parties - cannot deposit to single”. Turns out that because of the Patriot Act, they need a form filled [...]

The Wife and kids are in Reston visiting the in-laws, so I’m having a bachelor daddy weekend. I went to the redistricting rally at the Capitol yesterday morning. I’m apparently a horrible judge of crowd size as I estimated the crowd at a few hundred and the Statesman reported close to 5,000. There’s actually a [...]

There’s a rally this weekend against the redistricting crap that’s still going on here. I’m planning on attending. This blog has a pretty good collection of links about what’s been happening for those that are unfamiliar.
I attended a public meeting about the current status of the Mabel Davis Park cleanup project last week. I’m planning [...]
