i checked the LIVE LOON CAM one last time before going to bed, and i can see her again. it’s very nice to be here in the warm house, instead of being a loon sitting out on a nest up in minnesota with the snow falling and the wind blowing. ok then, goodnight,...

you know mollie will always win that battle. it’s not quite as grand or spectacular as, say, “clash of the titans,” but i did find her quite entertaining plus i didn’t have to sit through that movie. kevin, dad and david went, though, and loved...

it’s 10:19 p.m. saturday night and it just dawned on me that i’ve been sitting here in total and complete silence for about two hours now. that’s after i stopped vacuuming. i realize that i’m not very good at just relaxing while kevin is away. ...

mollie and i made a special video for her birthday. she actually didn’t want to sit with me on the couch because she prefers her own personal space. but she still likes me enough to tolerate me singing to her for her 10th birthday.
