Lost in space
I wrote a great post about the Backstreet Boys concert last night but Jacob ran up here after school, eager to get on cartoon network.com and somehow managed to close down everything I was working on, losing that and some other stuff.…
Hug your kids
Another tragic tale of a young parent lost too soon is here.
This guy was friend of Judy and Steve Burns in Ann Arbor and Judy sent me the link. It moved me, so I thought I'd share it with you all. All I can say is hug your loved ones and…
Jet lag continues
Day two… Anna woke up at 2:30 this morning, which means we got an extra hour or two of sleep, I guess. She came in bed and we put on Caillou on the portable DVD player. How did people survive without those things? Jacob joined her by 3 and…

Jay Gindoff in da House
Jay Gindoff came through here on Sunday evening. I picked him up at the airport, which was a fiasco already reported on, I believe. Then we had dinner downtown. Next day he and I tooled around Beijing. We went to a frigid Tianamen…
