Every couple of weekends, the four year old and I make a trip to the library to pick out a fresh batch of books while his little brother stays at home with mom for an afternoon nap. Yesterday, we came back with about two dozen new books for bedtime reading. It turns out that I’m […]

Britney in Grand Forks
Last Saturday night Casey and I attended the Britney Spears Circus tour at its stop in Grand Forks. It was quite the experience, and easily one of the city’s biggest events of the year. I’m glad we were able to see Britney once, but I don’t think I’d go again if she came back to town […]

Yesterday morning I had the opportunity to participate in the 5K fun run/walk portion of the Fargo Marathon. I had never witnessed the start of a marathon before, so it was very inspiring to see thousands of people begin their 26.2 mile trek across the city of Fargo, including my friend (and former supervisor), John […]

The One April Fool’s Day Joke That Got Me
Not much surprises me anymore when April Fool’s Day makes its yearly appearance. Don’t get me wrong – I can’t wait to see what jokes Google comes up with every April 1st, and Think Geek has a reputation for coming up with some of the most clever fake-products you’ll ever see. But, that’s the problem […]

Kael’s Finger Mustache
I’ve been terrible lately about getting our photos off the camera and up on Flickr, so to partially make up for it, I recorded a little something for you this evening. I present to you, Kael’s fingerstache. In case you missed that internet meme, here’s a little background info for you: Boston news report on […]
