Biarritz

Biarritz
Being in Biarritz was like visiting Huntington Beach...right down to the fact that they were holding the World Surf Championships while we were there.

European Vacation by Wheelchair

European Vacation by Wheelchair
I need to read through the entire trip, but what a resource for people. Jake can walk now, but we still need to use the chair sometimes. I really want to take him to Europe (I mean the kid does love to eat). It is just a daunting thought to think about going through Europe with a wheelchair

Gimmelwald, Switzerland

Gimmelwald, Switzerland
Having Anja and her father here has made us talk a lot about Europe. I can't wait for us to take a visit here to Gimmelwald We had such a great time in this little town. Great food, great sunsets. A lot like Yosemite really. I'm not sure we would be able to take Jake here though..the mountain side is VERY steep, and the valley below is a LONG WAY DOWN.

Trips I have taken

Trips I have taken

I think I will endeavor to do this myself. And perhaps a list of restaurants also. Probably it will be for my own viewing pleasure, and as a way to prove that I did in fact spend the appropriate number of Christmas' and Easters and Thanksgivings with each family.

Catcher in the Rye

Just came across this story.. somehow... I don't even know how I got to a Maine Newspaper article from December of last year, but anyway. I think it is very interesting how few parents get involved in education..sadly it seems the only ones who do want to start burning books.

What follows is my favorite quote from Catcher in the Rye. I actually read this part out loud in my highschool Honors English class (okay that was when children didn't swear in front of their teachers). Mrs Eiswerth was very flattering and not thrown at all by my finding that quote to be essential to Holden's coming of age.

"That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write 'Fuck you' right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetary, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say 'Holden Caulfield' on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say 'Fuck you.' I'm positive, in fact."

Bloglisting.com

So I was googling everyone I know (and vainly, also myself) and up came a google hit four listings down with "Jennifer Aniston Naked", and my name and blog address.
Of course it is actually just a listing on Bloglisting.com but it was rather odd.

Disneyland Resort

Disneyland Resort

Took Jake to Disneyland again this year right before Christmas.. We are really mean parents because we took him on Tower of Terror A friend asked us if that might be considered a form of child abuse.. being that Jake can't actually speak to tell us that he REALLY doesn't want to plunge 13 stories.

You only need to be 40" (102cm) to ride by the way...
