Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood

I grew up visiting Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood. While I don’t remember many of the advertures we had together, I remember many of the people… Mr. Speedee delivery, the King and his court… Mr. Rogers’ putting on his shoes, singing “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood” and then turning to tell us what we were […]

Roger and Me - Rabbits vs. Black Men

I have a “Stupid White Men” desktop calendar (one of those things that usually has a cute saying for every day of the year, or some inspirational quote) that my wife got me for Christmas.
Here’s Monday’s entry:
“My first film, Roger & Me, got an R rating because it showed a woman clubbing a rabbit to […]

Letter to the Editors of Sports Illustrated re: Phil Taylor column on Sandy Koufax reaction to NY Post claim that he is gay.

Editors,
I want to thank Phil Taylor for pointing out in the elephant in the living room in his column “Revealing Reaction”: the homophobic nature of the heated denials that arise when it is suggested that professional athletes are gay, lesbian, or bisexual.
When I saw Derrick Hall, speaking on behalf of Sandy Koufax, quoted […]

Cats and Kids

Sunday’s big event for Lynnaea was a visit from Sarah and Journey. They took her out on an extended bicycle trip. Journey’s over at our place almost every weekend the kids are here, and sometimes even when they’re not (emergency babysitting is o.k. in our book).
The big event for the whole family was the return […]

Lunches at School

We made chicken curry for the kids (their favorite) Sunday night, and brought it to school for them on Monday and Tuesday.
Gunilla was sick, so I was the only one there today… sat with both girls while they were eating, as we’d given them regular silverware and didn’t want it disappearing. Lynessa told me […]

Violins for Peace

Yesterday’s big event was the violin. We followed that up with purchase of a Suzuki practice book at the music store that Lynnaea had been needing, and Gunilla and Lynnaea took a trip to Toys R Us to buy a karoke remote controlled robot (eek… karoke is like, one of the more alarming Japanese cultural […]

Field Trip!

We went on a field trip to New Leaf with Mr. Raugi’s class (Lynnaea’s teacher) on Thursday morning. There were several other parents there. It was a nice sunny day to take a walk. We went down Branciforte to Soquel, and then up Soquel across the bridge directly to New Leaf, with Gunilla leading the […]

A Violin for Lynnaea

Lynnaea’s violin arrived this afternoon. She knew that there was going to be a surprise for her when she got to our house, but she had no idea what it was until she actually opened it up. She was thrilled. She let out a little gasp, and her face totally lit up. Very cool! :)
She’s […]

Bush Administration hypocrisy on ownership/use of WMD: inability to use chemical weapons “unfortunate”, says Rumsfeld

[This is intolerable. -Thomas]

Parliament was among the protestors, he said: “The United States
defence minister told us last week how it was unfortunate they can’t
use chemical weapons, and that the use of atomic weapons was a
possibility, My God, it makes no sense for […]
