Where Sokolovics (arrived 2004 CE) co-exist peacefully with stromatolite fossils (deposited ~400e6 BCE)
Thomas turns 6 this week, so he had a b-day party on Saturday at LaVallee’s USA Blackbelt Champions.
The kids practiced karate, played dodgeball, and ate pizza. What more could a kid ask for? I’ll tell you what else – Thomas got to cut the cake with a sword! Cool.
After his party we [...]
We went down south last weekend to visit Glo and Lou for Easter.
Nanny and Poppy helped the boys color eggs…
Poppy watched the kids play at the playground…
… and Thomas got some quality Nanny time…
Unfortunately, I was up sick most of Saturday night, so we came home first thing Sunday morning. The Easter Egg hunt [...]
It was a beautiful day here in CNY, and the kids in the neighborhood released some pent-up winter energy today. They swarmed from house to house like locusts, greedily devouring all the fun at one house before moving on to the next. The swarm stopped at our place for an hour or so [...]
The snow wasn’t good for skiing this weekend, so Kath suggested a Sunday snowshoeing adventure at Highland Forest. A great time was had by all. It was also the first time I got to take the new birthday camera out for a spin, and I was very pleased with the results.
Daniel went on his first sleepover last week. It wasn’t really a big deal – we didn’t expect to get the “your kid is scared so come get him” call at 10pm – but still, it’s a first.
Thomas felt a little left out, so we had a sleepover of our own. We played [...]
It’s been over three weeks since the last post, and with Thanksgiving travels and dad’s upcoming surgery, I likely won’t be posting again soon, so here are a few pictorial tidbits from the recent past:
Thomas finished his outdoor soccer season a few weeks ago (as did Daniel), and I got a few pics of him [...]
Jules Verne saw a future where man would conquer the seas in submersible watercraft. We are navigating the seas of that future.
Arthur C. Clarke envisaged the use of space-based communication satellites. That reality is here (over).
William F. Nolan followed Logan as he tried to escape his Lastday execution. There is pending legislation [...]
I picked the last of the summer bounty today – about 1.5 lbs of carrots, which were promptly peeled and frozen for winter stew, and 4 servings of beans:
Also, we have about a yard of some really rich compost (on the upper right of the photo below), and we’ve started the new batch for next [...]
Enjoy this photo from Nanny and Poppy’s this weekend.
