Xander’s First Circus

by @ Tuesday, September 27th, 2005. Filed under Family

I took Xander to his first circus tonight. Every year, AOL has a night at Big Apple Circus when they come to town. Tonight was the night, and I took Xander to it. Kate and I decided that Mira was a bit too little to enjoy the whole thing. Xander loved it. His first joy [...]

A Giving Soul

by @ Sunday, September 25th, 2005. Filed under Family

Oh, I forgot to mention the other reason we were at Target. We were buying stuff to make some personal care kits to take to Xander’s school. They are going to be sending them off to another school where there are people in the area that were hit by Katrina. We’re also making little fun [...]

We Love Katamari

by @ Sunday, September 25th, 2005. Filed under Games, PS2

We Love Katamari came out last week and I didn’t even notice! I know, I’m shocked too! Last I’d looked, it was going to come out in October or November. In any case, it’s out now and we went out to Target this morning to pick it up. Xander, Mira, and I had a great [...]

San Francisco Oven

by @ Saturday, September 24th, 2005. Filed under Food

I had one of the best pizzas I’ve even eaten today. We went to San Francisco Oven, which is a new pizza place that opened up in Ashburn a month or so ago, I guess. We’ve been once before, but I didn’t get pizza that time. Anyway, I got a pizza with pepperoni and roasted [...]

Brain vs Mind

by @ Thursday, September 22nd, 2005. Filed under Family

So on the way to school today, I was teasing with Xander about something I don’t even remember any more. He responsed, “Have you lost your mind?” Which is something he’s started saying when you say something silly, I’m not sure where he picked it up. I told him, “Maybe, no wait, there it is, [...]

The Spirit of Giving

by @ Wednesday, September 14th, 2005. Filed under Family

Right after Katrina hit, Kate and I decided to give some money to the Red Cross. We decided this would be a good chance to help teach Xander about helping others. We took some time and talked to him about what had happened and what the people there were going through, and he decided to [...]

I’m registered as player 142 in this year’s World rec.gambling.poker Tournament. It’s an online, play by email, not real money Texas Hold’em tournament that is held every year. I’ve played the last three years and I’ve really enjoyed it. Last year I finished 819 out of 1159 players (went out on a pair of Jacks, [...]

School Update

by @ Tuesday, September 6th, 2005. Filed under Family

Xander had a wondeful day at school today. He was very excited about his day. As usual, getting actual details out of him is a bit of work. He loved getting to stay till 3pm though. He learned to do some cloth folding today as one of his solo lessons. There appear to have been [...]

Back to School

by @ Tuesday, September 6th, 2005. Filed under Family

We dropped Xander off this morning for his first day of Kindergarten. He, of course, did great. The question, is how the rest of us will do. I’m going to deal with it the best, since I’m at work all day anyway. Kate and Mira will have some adjusting to do, since they are used [...]
