Car Accident on Penn Avenue

I am up late working on some code, and all of a sudden there is a really loud noise, and I look out my window and watch a car turn kind of sideways and roll over. As far as I can tell there wasn't a second car involved, but I don't know what could have happened to make him flip... (More)

Chef Jonathan

While cooking our breakfast on Saturday, I saw that Heather had put the potatoes on the counter, meaning that we should eat them soon, and not forget about them in their normal storage place. I asked Jonathan how we should cook the potatoes for dinner, and he said that we should make... (More)

It's Worth Finding A Good Pediatric Dentist!

Last month, I took Jonathan for his first dental checkup and cleaning. He did a great job, asking lots of questions and generally having a good time. But they did discover two huge fillings. The regular dentist doesn't do fillings for kids, so she had us make an appointment... (More)

Sunny On Sunday

In college, our friend Volus used to say that it was always sunny on Sunday. Even if it was gray in the morning, the sun was out by the time church was over. I found that he was right for the vast majority of the time. This weekend was no exception. Saturday was rainy,... (More)

Germs, Plants, Stacks and More

Noah has discovered the fun of taking out and putting in objects to a container. He also isn't interested in crashing towers. Instead, he likes to take them down carefully block by block. He likes to copy us in driving cars around and the other day we were having a blast... (More)

It's Not A Thankless Job

Jonathan and I were drawing and coloring together downstairs. At one point, I had written his name, and then when we were cutting things, I cut a heart out around his name. Soon after, I went to change Noah's diaper. I heard Jonathan say, "How do you spell... (More)

Shopping Cart Thrill Ride

After Noah's doctor appointment, we went to the grocery store. I had parked forward-facing to a curbed, sloped sidewalk. On the side of the walk opposite the parking lot was a railing. Because of the curb, I did not push the cart to the trunk of my car as I usually... (More)

How Does Skin Stick Together?

I try to take Jonathan's questions seriously and answer them as accurately as I can. This morning, I could not think of a better answer than "well, the cells, they just do." (Which is not very satisfying.) So I looked to the internet for help. All I can find is that... (More)

My voice has a problem with not being able to be understood by most auto-voice phone systems, and you can only say "Tech Support" so many times before you wish you hadn't ever called in the first place. Here is the answer to that problem - a list of how to get to a real human... (More)
