#1: Dreams of a (almost) 4-year-old Yesterday, Terah had something going on in the evening, so it was just Jacob, Oliver, and me. Due to how the logistics worked out, she brought them to the office after work and I took them from there. We went to the post office, pharmacy, and a restaurant. Jacob [...]

As you probably know from reading my recent blog posts, we spent a week in New York City. Despite some behavior issues from Jacob, it was a good trip. Oliver took his first unassisted step in our hotel room there. As I wrote, the boys both loved the subway. I didn’t have as much time [...]
Debconf10

Debconf10 ended a week ago, and I’m only now finding some time to write about it. Funny how it works that way sometimes. Anyhow, the summary of Debconf has to be: this is one amazing conference.

Really Dark Blue

As we were walking home tonight, Jacob started singing, over and over: Really dark blue, really dark blue, really dark blue… The tune changed a bit, but the words didn’t. Terah and I wondered what was really dark blue, until finally we heard: Really dark blue, really dark blue, really dark blue sky. Really dark [...]
The Best Place of Ever

Jacob and Oliver have enjoyed our recent train trip, and our stay, from Kansas to New York City for Debconf. All told, that’s a 40-hour trip, including the layover in Chicago. When we got on the train, in the middle of the night as usual, Jacob couldn’t stop chattering about how “great”, “fun”, and “exciting” [...]
