Laugh or Scold?
Angus has a toy Bob the Builder hard hat. Tonight I walked into their room and Fred was wearing it over her face like a mask while Angus threw blocks at her head.

Pride
Today was the first day of class. As I waited for the bus this morning a nervous looking student reached for a schedule from his back pocket. I assumed it was a copy of the bus schedule, but it turns out it was a print out from Student Link, the system I maintain and largely [...]

A brief trip report, finally. Easily the best family trip we’ve ever had. The kids were great, we were great, and except for a few bumps it was all wonderful. I also checked out of work to the greatest degree yet, and it was so nice. 5756 miles, about 110 hours of driving. That’s a [...]
