Blogging will be light today.
Filed Under Me | Leave a Comment
Why? Because I need to get organized. I fear my lack of organization in all facets of my life (home, work, writing) has reached critical mass and is in danger of imploding. Plus when you add my new role over at Gather (seriously go sign up) into the equation, the desire to curl [...]

Attention Whiskers fans

Meerkat Manor returns for season 3 on August 10th.

Yesterday my planned quiet evening of writing instead were replaced by the scariest three hours of my short time as a parent. My youngest daughter had been feeling a bit queasy earlier in the day and spent most of the day laying about. She didn’t have a fever, or if she did it [...]

Happy Father’s Day
Filed Under Holiday, Me | Leave a Comment
Slept until 10am this morning. First rule of Father’s Day is never wake Dad up early. Upon awaking I was greeted by two giggling girls who informed me there was a surprise for me downstairs. They led me downstairs to the kitchen where they had made breakfast for me, with assistance from [...]

Every morning on the way to my car I pick up two cans of crisp, refreshing Coke Zero from the soft drink storage area in my garage. The first can is for drinking on my way in to work as it’s too hot for coffee these days, even at seven in the morning. [...]
