  • Raising a Reader

    Michael Forbes, whom I follow on Twitter for hockey stuff, linked an article in the New York Times, “Boys and Reading: Is There Any Hope?” by Robert Lipsyte.  The issues brought up in the essay are boiled down to this passage: If we’re to counter this tendency and encourage reading among boys who may collectively…

  • 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…

  • 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):

  • 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,…

  • Thomas and Mattie Pictures

    rabbit hole movie in hd Thomas and Mattie with their cousin Shani. Aren’t they the cutest? :D

  • Pittsburgh Museum Fun

    I wanted to get the pictures up (especially for cute kid pictures), so I’m tossing these up with little commentary. Thomas and his cousins visited the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (also in Pittsburgh) this weekend. We pretty much have to go to the ‘chil-seum’ every time, and added…

  • Miserable

    And I don’t just mean the last Sabres game. Pretty much the whole family had the flu, so it’s been tough sledding the past few days. Thomas, Mattie and I are all feeling somewhat better, but Mommy is still down for the count. Hopefully we’re all back and ready for Sunday, as I work before…

  • Buffalo Zoo and Erie County Fair

    Yes, we were crazy enough to do both in one day…here are some pictures! Tropical parasites, your carefree infestation ends here! Tonight, you swim in ointments of righteous hygiene! The reference will make more sense if you are a fan of a certain cartoon, as I am.

  • More Family Pictures!

    All of which were taken either dropping my son off before heading to a wedding, or at the wedding. :)
