Thursday, May 30, 2002The Thursday Threesome for May 30th Onesome. Healthy. Tell us about one thing you did for yourself that's healthy - and not just physical, mental and emotional health matter, too! Spend time at home with my family. That takes care of all three. Twosome. Wealthy. What in life makes you feel wealthy in your heart? Prayer and lots of it. Some people give this as the knee-jerk "look at me I'm such a good Threesome. Wise. Share your favorite proverb or motto... or just make one up yourself "A witty quote proves nothing". -- Voltaire Thanks to J's Notes for the quick link! Go visit and drive his stats up a little - he'll be pleased. Ferris Bueller's Month-and-a-Half Off Comin' atcha poolside my friends. Until my security clearance goes through, I am camping out at home and taking it easy with my son. This doesn't entirely mean that everything is fun and games. To be sure, there is about 18 months of cleaning that has to get done in this house (which in no way corresponds to when my wife moved into the house) and a variety of outside/yardwork oriented items that need tending to. On the upside, Jonathan is thrilled - and I do not use that term lightly - to have is daddy home. We are having a blast folks. Walking around, eating cookies, watching Jay-Jay the Jet Plane, hanging over the end of the couch, tickling/wrasslin' episodes, and of course the obligatory typing on the computer. Jonathan and I even had the chance to sit and read for a few moments. Come to think of it, it's hard to tell who's having a better time here. This is nothing serious, I not only have the chance to camp out with my son, I can also catch-up on a host of reading that I will have to do before the fall while taking the chance to write a few articles, one for the local paper, the other for publication. Add to the stack the Fredericksburg GOP, the local YR unit, Catholic University stuff, and general cleaning duties that I have put off (plus cleaning up after my constantly re-arranging wife) and I have a full plate. Makes you wonder how I worked in a job, doesn't it? Sunday, May 26, 2002Memorial Day! Jonathan and I would like to wish everyone a happy Memorial Day, and if you have a chance you should come visit us at the Luminaria at the Confederate Cemetary on Washington Avenue. Make an afternoon/evening out of it in Downtown Fredericksburg. See you there! Thursday, May 16, 2002One more update! Last night I updated the website. Some things have been moved around to make everything a bit more navigable, others have been left alone, and there are a few more additions. Check it out and see what you think. In other news, Jonathan has officially learned the word 'no'. What he has yet to learn is when he should say it. It's okay to say 'no' when he doesn't want food or a toy. It's a whole other deal when I tell him not to touch something and he says 'no'. Grrr. . . but he's learning. 'Please' has officially re-entered the vocabulary as well, the only trick is to get him to use it all of the time. Getting him to say 'please' and rewarding him by letting him touch or play with everything is one way to encourage him to keep saying 'please', but it also teaches him he can get everything he wants by saying 'please'. If you stop doing that, then 'please' becomes sort of worthless - he might as well grunt because it will do him just as much good. The experiment continues. Allergy shots are fun. Just thought you'd like to know. Monday, May 13, 2002Top News This Morning Just testing an idea. Not much going on this morning in the world - I may have to go with the rant-o'-the-day option, just for kicks. Israelis probed for 'targeting Arabs' Israeli police question four Jewish settlers suspected of planting a bomb at an Arab girls' school - one of a series against Arab targets. Full story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/-/hi/english/world/middle_east/newsid_1982000/1982851.stm Arafat rails against Likud setback Embarking on his first trip outside Ramallah this year, Mr Arafat attacks Israel's Likud party for its decision not to back a Palestinian state. Full story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/-/hi/english/world/middle_east/newsid_1984000/1984088.stm Cuba opens up for Carter Fidel Castro greets former US President Jimmy Carter to Cuba in the first visit by an American president, present or past, in more than 40 years. Full story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/-/hi/english/world/americas/newsid_1983000/1983840.stm Saturday, May 11, 2002What to do, what to do. . . I have a few areas where I'd like to see this site go. Unfortunately, I have no direction. Jason would like to see me turn this into a daily news site with commentary (J's Notes), but there is the potential for a web journal rather than a log (what I have now). Then there is the WorldNetDaily version where I can simply post the rant-o'-the'day on the site and hope people will read them. Which is an idea. . . Anyhow, if you would like to offer some input (or have a really cool idea), let me know.
