School Board Member Dan Wood

[I met with Dan a couple of times, early in the 2001-2002 school year, to talk about technology and the school district. He struck me as a very bright, conscientious and dedicated person. I was very sorry to hear he had cancer, and was very sorry to hear he had passed away. -Thomas]

The girls like stuffed animals…

I bought a couple of really cute holiday theme stuffy type backrests for 80% off at K-Mart (three bucks apiece or something?). One is a snowman, the other is a Santa. As soon as the girls saw them, in a corner of our bedroom, and immediately appropriated them for their bed.

Washington, D.C. police ignore basic civil rights.

[I saw Doug Malken’s article in the Green Pages (national Green Party newspaper) and went looking for an on-line version to link to. Saw Richard Stallman’s home page come up in a Google search, and decided to see what the hero of open source had to say. A lot, apparently. Good for him!
He had two […]

Santa Cruz: Citizens Police Review Board chair takes on City Council, no holds barred

FROM: MARK HALFMOON
“Progressive” CA City Lays Waste To Police Oversight
On Tuesday, January 28th, the Santa Cruz City Council
will most likely vote to repeal the ordinance that
created the Citizen’s Police Review Board (CPRB) in
1994. Mayor Emily Reilly and other council members

money. They claim that the […]

The Sound of Violins

A new addition to the normal cacophony of our household, was the sound of our older daughter Lynnaea practicing the violin tonight. I used to play the violin when I was in elementary school. Apparently, our friend Martin did as well (the breadth of his talents continues to amaze me).
Homework was done (most of it) […]

More on how kids change your life…

My computer became a game machine for much of the day, as the girls played the Harry Potter games that Andrew bought them for Christmas. :)
Of course, this is another reason why email doesn’t get generated or answered with as much frequency as it usually does, and blogs don’t get updated with alacrity - girls […]

Blogging

A friend of mine says there is a correlation between blogging and unemployment… I bet there is also one between blogging and non-parenthood. When the girls are with us, the blog gets very little additions, my email backs up, etc. So don’t expect much updates till Tuesday afternoon. :)

Another Great Day with the Girls

When the girls are with us, our schedule and habits are very different - we’ve spent very little time at the computer all day… spent most of the day doing stuff with them. Girls woke us up at 8 a.m. and Gunilla got out of bed right away and spent the rest of the morning […]

Great Day!

We picked the kids up from school today - took Lynessa over to Hoots to have frozen yogurt. She was thrilled, and immediately said she hadn’t been there in a while… said her father (Gunilla’s ex, with whom we share custody) doesn’t take them there (it is cattycorner from the school). Guess he doesn’t like […]
