A Fine Speciman of Manhood

Yes, Josh is buff. And contrary to whatever else he says, he is secretly delighted that I'm putting this picture of him, in all his manly glory, on my blog.

A Toddler's Take

We all see things differently. The English biologist/politician John Lubbock once wrote, "What we see depends mainly on what we look for". If this is true, then I wonder what that says about a three year old boy named Sam. Here's his interpretation of events that take place in "The Lord of the Rings". The naked man is mean and he bites the fingers of the nice guy and falls into the orange water that's really hot. And the big dragon is really scary and he tries to eat the nice kids. And the elephants are really, REALLY big.

Things I learned from Teddy Roosevelt (and my dad)

Last week our fridge broke.

Busted. Not cold. Damaged. Getting warmer. I had no clue as to what I should do. Called the repairman. Told me it would cost $300 to fix. Did some research on the internet. Identified the problem. Bought the part for $47.39. Replaced the part. Felt like the "coolest" woman on earth! "Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it." Teddy Roosevelt

For those of you who know Isabel....

The Creative Genius of a 7 Year Old Boy

When posed the question... "How could I make myself look like a bird?", most people would think ... feathers. But not a seven year old boy.... give him some white computer paper and a role of masking tape....he's good to go.

Don't you wish life was always that simple?
