I never knew Josh Harris had brothers, but I recently found out about their web site , and a survey they have published - the questions were based on questions and comments from women who were interested in what guys thought about different articles of clothing, make-up, etc. The survey... (More)

Jon's 30th Birthday Party

We had a big bash, hosted by the Moores. I invited all our Pittsburgh friends that I had valid email addresses for. (So if you missed it and are disappointed, send me your correct email address!) Total attendees: 45 (including babies.) We all had a lot of fun, and I'd like to... (More)

Car Radio

I finally got around to taking apart our radio in our car that has had a CD stuck in it since we purchased the car. The dashboard came out unexpectedly easily, so I should have done it a long time ago -- I had been intimidated by not seeing any obvious screws, but when I yanked on it,... (More)

Spelling and Reading

Jonathan was wearing a shirt he got from Auntie E for Christmas and he looked down at his chest and said, "zero-s-h-k-zero-s-h. Oshkosh!" That was interesting to me because when he was first learning numerals, he called zeroes "o." When I menioned that in... (More)

Unsupervised Electrical Experiment

I'll begin by assuaging grandparental fears: no one is hurt! And now I'll start from the beginning. As mentioned elsewhere, it is extremely cold out today. We forgot to open the cupboard under the kitchen sink and thus the pipes froze. I put our space heater on... (More)

Helping, Singing, Teething, Reaching

One afternoon we were shredding carrots in the food processor for a salad. Noah was getting upset, so Jonathan said to me, "You go ahead and give Noah milk; I'll finish the carrots." Noah has been wanting to eat more and has had lots of practice feeding bits of things... (More)

Skiing

We finally went skiing for the first time this year and although it was pretty cold, we did have a lot of fun and stayed a lot longer than we did last year. We had a little trouble getting our tickets - it is always hard to find the ski club people, and I was incorrectly asking for Carnegie... (More)

Thoughts on Marriage

A friend of John Kuhns was asked some questions about marriage and what the point of it is. This was his response: I think you are right that marriage is becoming less and less meaningful these days. People seem to think of marriage as just a very-committed relationship. When you are in a... (More)

RSS Feeds

I have been meaning to get around to putting at least some of these in my "Links" panel on the right, though I suspect that it would be too long to place all of them there. But, anyway, here are the blogs that I read regularly. (The RSS feed reader makes it possible to... (More)

Lost Planner, Boys' Events

I lost my planner just before Christmas (as far as I can deduce, in a shopping cart in the parking lot of Jo-Ann's on McKnight Rd - anybody seen it? Please return it, you can keep the gift cards, I just want the information!) It had several notes in it about cute things the boys... (More)

Bump Keys

I heard about bump keys recently, and had a little time to play around this morning. I read an article about them, and watched a youtube video , and away I went. It took about 15 minutes to hand-file a key. And then another 20 minutes to try the "pull-back"... (More)

Saturday Adventure

It has been a long time since the last time Jonathan and I went out on a trip together, and Heather suggested that I take the kids to give her some time to clean and other things by herself. First, we glued all of the dining room chairs, since they have been falling apart more than usual... (More)

Long Commute

Tonight, due to the Steeler's game, the first snowfall, and regular silly commuters, my trip home took an hour and 15 minutes, resulting in an average speed of 3.5 miles an hour. The last mile and a half took 45 minutes. I even saved a half an hour by calling Heather when I got close to... (More)
