Time to fight against cancer again … oh and maybe win a trip to Italy!
Hello friends … my bike idol, fatty, is doing it again.
As you may recall his last contest to help raise money was a huge success and he’s doing it again, but you only have a week, so make a difference NOW.
You are your brother’s keeper, and your sister’s and your communities! So let’s help [...]
Meet Dave …
From Time.com, Original Story Here
David Chameides is not your average American. For one thing, the TV cameraman owns two Emmy awards — how many do you have? But more importantly, while the average American throws out around 1,700 lbs. of trash annually, for the past year Chameides has thrown out absolutely nothing. A deep [...]
It never fails, at least it hasn’t yet …
September rolls around, my birthday, favorite weather, the start of another school year, … and … a cold. Every single time Macros starts school, I get sick with in a week, and this year with Aidan and Marcos headed off to learn … I am already sick. They’ve been back at school for [...]

We demand …
There were a great many themes that I really latched on to in Obama’s speech last night. Several threads resonated with me. This morning I had an email in my box from We Can Solve It I thought this was an awesome, non-partisan video that lit a little fire under my butt, and [...]

So when I first heard that Alki Ave might be closed one day in the summer to all car traffic, I was thrilled! So now that there is a date and time, and even a map, and a website. I invite you all to come over to our house on Sunday the 7th [...]

Yes! It’s true, and now months after it actually happened, I am permitted to talk about it. We (my co-workers and I) received a whole big bunch of Nikon D90s a couple of months ago. We basically each had a camera, and took a whole bunch of pictures testing the thing out.

I had every intention of not mentioning this every again, but Jake reminded me that this is something other people might learn from so …
Okay, so as I’ve been told by my very knowledgeable friend, everyone who has a roof rack, and a bicycle, has done this, or will do this someday, so it [...]
The things I would have missed …
I had a little alone time today … the boys were hanging out with their cousins and Hong had already gone off to work. We needed a couple of things from the store, and like 2nd nature I grabbed for my car keys off of the entry table. As I tried to nab [...]
Read more →Upcoming Birthdays …
Okay, so I promised Marcos that I would remind everyone that Aidan’s birthday is a week away, and that he keeps an up to date Amazon Wish List (as we all do, in case you were curious).
Now, I told him that I would put up a link and remind everyone, but beyond that I made [...]
Read more →People who have garage sales are nuts …
I have been known to occasionally search out some garages sales, especially the ones where I might find neato old bikes. But Hong decided we had too much stuff. Not really even we had too much stuff here, but actually too much stuff at her parents house. I’m not quite sure why [...]
Read more →Summer Interruption
I hate to interrupt all of our fabulous summers with talk of schools already, but I figured that’s it’s really sort of a cloudy, gray, almost ugly, morning; that it would be alright to bring it up.
Anyone who has had an education conversation with me knows, that I feel pretty passionately about a great many [...]
