I love Pandora. I have a Deadmau5 station on it and I started it the other night on the TiVo. Sam and Ellie started dancing to it. I guess kids like techno. I’m sorry for the long video, but I just couldn’t cut it down to 30 seconds.

She’s always such a trouper. She’s been walking increasingly more, but I’m going to say officially started walking on July 5 (14 months). Here’s a …

We stayed in the big house again, and it seemed like there weren’t as many people there as usual. I guess that’s because there wasn’t. Sam enjoyed the water this year, but was still a little anxious at …
Read more →A few of you noticed that we have our Amazon show case on the right side of our website again. Fewer still called me out on my “Kardashian Konfidential” book. No, I really don’t have (nor have I read) that fine piece of intellectual fodder. I did recently subscribe to Rolling Stone magazine though and that has now …
