My turn

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005

We went out to dinner the other night. I thought the kids might sleep on the way home because it was a little past their bedtime. However, they did not. In fact, Flash talked for almost 10 straight minutes to her dad, telling him things and asking him about other things. [...]

I am still affected by video and photos of September 11, 2001. I don’t want that to change. It’s too important to remember the people who were lost. It’s too important to remember the people who are fighting for freedom, freedom for all.

We are planning a trip we thought we would never be able to take. We are going on a 25 day trip to New Zealand and Australia over the Christmas holidays. Flash is going to miss some school, but this is a once in a lifetime vacation. First, I spent some time [...]

It’s that time of year again

Tuesday, September 6th, 2005
