Family Pictures
Tomorrow we are having family pictures of sorts.  Actually, we are having an ultrasound.  Hopefully by mid-morning we'll know if our next child will be a boy or girl.  Hopefully we will have full cooperation. UPDATE : It looks like...
Finding Passion
Passion is elusive.  It's sneaky and slippery.  It hides and taunts you.  For those lucky enough to have found it, you are truly fortunate.  For years now, I've been looking for something to be passionate about.  Something...

I'm very excited to announce that we are planning the first ever GiveCamp in the Milwaukee area: GiveCamp MKE .  In fact, it's one of the first GiveCamps anywhere. "What's a GiveCamp?", you ask.  In short, it is an opportunity...

Last night my in-laws came over to visit for a while and we decided to play Yahtzee.  Of course, Charlie was immediately interested in the dice and the cup, so we let her have a turn rolling.  In one turn (three rolls) she had rolled a Yahtzee...
Work Soundtrack
This happens to me on a regular basis -- probably every other month or so.  I get tired of the music I have on my iPod.  So I'm looking for suggestions.  What music helps you get your job done?  Sometimes I need something nice...
Blog Recategorization
As I mentioned earlier , I was bored tonight.  Rather than visiting MySpace I decided to do a little work on the categories I use in my blog.  I didn't remove any categories, but I did add a few.  As of right now, all of my posts are...

Over the last six weeks or so I have made three trips to California.  I grew up in northern CA and most of my family still lives there wondering why I ever left to live in frozen "Wesconson". The first of these trips was a whirlwind. ...
