Christmas 2010 is over! The (16-month old) monkey seemed to sort of understand what was going on, but net result is that he got a bunch of new books and toys that he’ll be able to enjoy for awhile. Daddy got some new clothes, a DVD or two, and a new pressure washer that he’s [...]

We bent over backwards! Act now!
My interest in whatever you’re trying to sell me is indirectly proportional to the amount of underlining you do in your letter.

Thanksgiving 2010 was chock full of activity for the Celebration Harts this year. Rowan’s nap schedule kept us in the Orlando area this year, despite a generous offer to rejoin the Ormond Beach Harts. In the morning we went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Sherri’s folks come down every year to do the snowbird thing in a house a few miles from here. One of the benefits to us is that come late March, we get a huge influx of leftover food from them and their other snowbird friends. One of the items they left with us last March [...]

In the morning Celebration hosted their semi-annual community-wide yard sale. We got rid of most of our trash treasure during the [...]

Son’s first (well, second, I guess?) birthday was 10 days ago. We had a family party on the actual day with me, Sherri, the birthday boy, and Sherri’s mom, who was [...]

I moved the other day. I was a Comcast cable TV and high-speed Internet subscriber at the old place. I moved several hundred yards, into a new place. I didn’t add or remove any services. I brought my own CableCARD (which was on file on my old account) and my own cable modem (also on [...]

The baby. I should’ve done this 10 years ago. Of course, I hadn’t met Sherri yet and I can’t imagine doing this with anyone else (she’s Supermom!), so that isn’t a regret I’m sharing, just me looking back… The baby’s amazing. All the stuff I thought would bother me doesn’t. I don’t care about changing [...]
