  • Work From Home Chronicles

    An occasional series dedicated to my observations on working from home. We are working from home all this week thanks to the World Junior Championships downtown (hello $50 parking!).  It has benefits, but as you’ll see there are some drawbacks, too. Day 1 – I take immense delight turning off the “early” alarm on my…

  • Father's Day Weekend at Camp Findley

    Most folks were already there when Jen, Mattie and I got there.  The first night began with some swimming, but was mostly eating, getting everything squared away in the right spots, and herding 5 children into bed.  That went better than expected for most of the days, actually. The rest of the days, the kids…

  • Back In Action

    As you could probably tell, I was off the grid for the weekend, so not really any tweeting or blogging going on.  I will have pictures of the kids up later, though, for those of you who like ’em. :)

  • Happy Mother's Day!

    I would like to wish all the Mommies out there, especially my wife and Mommy of Thomas, Mattie, and little Eva to be, a wonderful day!

  • Mayville Ice Palace

    We recently took the kids to see the Mayville Ice Palace on the way back from ‘camping’.  I’ll have pictures and stuff about that later, but check this out (and yes, we walked out on the ice to visit the ice fishermen):

  • A Story for Christmas

    Now that you’ve unwrapped your presents and seen the fam, here’s a Christmas story of a different kind. If it’s familiar, I’ve linked it before, but it’s worth reading agian. Enjoy. Merry Christmas!

  • Eggertsville Hose Fire Safety Day

    We went (as we seem to every year) to the open house at the Eggertsville Hose Company. Thomas loves it there anyway, and where else can you see a house on fire, a helicopter land and a car cut into pieces all at once? requiem for a dream movie wikipedia He just won’t give up…

  • New Pics of Mattie and Thomas!

    My parents were in town the past week or so, and we went to the Buffalo Zoo and the Strong Museum. Here’s a few highlights: In no particular order, as my in-laws’ camera didn’t have the right date set and I’m too lazy to manually sort all the pics. By the way, if you have…

  • Camping Adventures: Lost Tires, Rainstorms and Lots of Children, Part 2

    So, when we left off, there was a decision to make. We had only made it maybe 40 miles or so from home, and the weekend was more than half over. But Thomas desperately wanted to see his cousins, so off we went. Things still weren’t any better, as the rains turned into a downpour,…

  • Camping Adventures: Lost Tires, Rainstorms and Lots of Children, Part 1

    If you’re a longtime reader of mine (either here or in the forums, for those select few), you probably already know that I don’t like camping. I am not what you call an outdoorsy guy…if you’ve seen the episode of Monk where he exclaims “There’s NATURE on me!”, I’m not too far off from that.…
