Giving Thanks

When I opened the window to write a blog post I had no idea what I was going to write then out spilled from the keys "Giving Thanks". Probably because we are hitting the road in a few hours to visit my folks in Daytona Beach for Thanksgiving. Should be a fun trip and hopefully Abby won't be too bored in the car for such a long trip. We are gonna meet up with Dana & Aria and caravan until about half way there where Dana will break off and head on down the west coast to Tampa to enjoy her holiday with Nikki. Jenn, Abby and I will continue across the top of Florida to the east coast.

Jenn Joins Facebook

It took over a year, but my bride finally took the plunge and decided to join the rest of us degenerates who have exchanged short leg-stretching breaks from the keyboard for logging in to see who has commented on our pithy status update d'jour.

All-in for Tradition!

After what is literally years of talking about it, I am finally going to start a recurring home poker game and I am really looking forward to playing the role of host. Maybe it's tapping into the side of me that craves 'tradition' or the side that grew up traveling to a friend's house and falling asleep on the couch (in footsie pajamas btw) as my parents and their best friends played "31" late into the night. I still remember watching through drooping eyelids the glow from the dining room at the other end of the house, the laughter, gags and guffaws shared between adult best friends. It was a fun time, a safe time and that was some of the best sleep I remember as a kid as the accidental eavesdropper into the grownup world.

First post from new iPhone app

First thing I noticed is that the keyboard doesn't change to landscpe mode in the squarespace app. My phone is lying on the desk an I'm trying to type as fast as I can to push the limits of the auto correct... looking back over text, not too shabby.

Lots to look at with the app. Very robust and has received rave reviews. Gonna try to take a pic and insert it next.

Not sure about alignment... Here goes the post...

Halloween 2009 Wrap-up

Abby's footprint is the scary ghost - Thanks, Crystal!Come and gone. I swear it crept up on me faster than I expected. Been losing track of time, even days for a long while now and I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I was pretty excited to learn that my birthday would be on a Saturday this year and my first thought was "Parrrrteeeee"... which is exactly what happened but not in the context it might have been meant.
