Here is a sweet little action. It has two faults: One, it is only visible as an action to people who frequent bookstores and actually look at books – that is, it only touches other readers. Or other Flickr viewers. The other problem is that I can’t help but feel sorry for the people who work at the bookstore. Still, this is pretty fun.

Ben lost his first tooth today. After dinner, I dashed out to find a tooth fairy toy. My mom put a quarter under my pillow. I’ve been told that the average tooth fairy gift is $5 today.

Isn’t it interesting that now her personal life will be up for the hyenas to…
Why He Should It would be an opportunity for him to make a gesture of compassion toward people that have suffered and sacrificed because of policies and decisions that have never been honestly or adequately explained to the American people. It would be an opportunity to establish a meaningful public forum on the topic of why we went to war. Perhaps it’s time to actually make the argument that we need those permanent bases, we need the resources and control,…
This morning is my son’s first day of kindergarten. For the last week or so he has been preparing for the big day. His Monsters Inc backpack seemed like a “baby” pack to him now, so we got a “supercool” Batman bag and some “Star Wars” sneakers. Loves the brand-names, he does, just like most of his friends.
