Reality Me

So, I’m now very inspired to put video cameras all over the house. I was able to use one of the computer cams to keep an eye on my daughter while she watched Blues Clues. I had the pleasure of programming while watching her try on her sisters hat and watch tv and play. Mostly she watched television. Here is my wife’s impression.

As a follow up to yesterday’s Mis-interpreted News

US: Leave Haiti While You Can

(CBS/AP) The latest U.S. travel warning for Haiti advises Americans to leave now…

Juggler’s made up interview responses:

“Get out! We have no weapons of mass destruction!”

“Party’s over mon!”

Nix tapes. I need music right now.

Several days ago I was recalling that my most productive times were when I regularly listened to “productivity” tapes while driving. Then my brother mentions he is listening to tapes. And my 10 yr old girl is on the radio today so I pull out an old boombox to record her. Now! I have a tape player by my desk. I think I’ll listen to tapes while I work.

Just had a reason to retell this story:

I remember in high school I’m sitting there on my Apple //c clicking away on my 2400 baud rockin connection and Dad comes in, doesn’t say a word, and gently places a hammer on top of the $600 modem. He walks to the door, turns around and says “the next time I try to call your mother before I leave the office and I get a busy signal, that hammer goes through the modem” This was before caller id, call waiting and affordable cell phones. It was very effective!

Morning play time over. Time to break the speed of CPUs!

Does anyone remember those Foster beer commercials “Foster’s – Australian for Beer” Below is one (or a spoof on one):

I think my friend Tim’s pictures should be captioned with “Australian For Bruise.” This is one tough character! He was playing soccer with a broken collar bone! Now for us Americans the translation of “soccer” is “football.” We aren’t talking about the white and black ball that you can’t touch with your hands; soccer means pig skin! [apparently I buggered that one]

Visit Tim and wish him well!

Apparently it is the morning for everyone to wake early. The 13 yr old awoke just in time to sit with the 7 yr old and listen to their 10 yr old sister talk on the Radio. The 10 yr old girl did a better job than the DJ! (proud Dad!) She really did well. She enunciated and gave full answers with the exception of one brief session of “uh huh”s. She would make a wonderful radio personality!

Wife just text messaged me that they will be on in 6 minutes.

Tape is recording the show. Let’s hope the 10 yr old gets to speak in the next 100 minutes.

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

Woke at 5 and made sure the wife and 10 yr old were getting ready. Woke again at 5:25. The 10 yr old girl will be on a radio show this morning on WRJZ Radio (on AM station 620) talking about Girl Scouts. Very exciting!

The 7 yr old woke during our morning preparations and would not go back to sleep.

Last Night

Spent some silly time taping printouts from MapBlast together to help the wife in the morning.

What keeps you interested in a person’s blog? Is it the writing style? How much of it is the content? Do the news blurbs or special subjects make the difference? Is it following their day to day activities? Or getting a peak into their psyche? (I’ll correct that word as soon as the wife tells me the correction) A chance to compare your life to theirs? A soap opera in the making? Educational material? Or links links links?

Let me know in comments. Perhaps you can help mold this blog to your own personal perference!
