Took the girls to Riverside Park for a dinner picnic and splash. As an
added bonus I'm blogging while we're doing it!

Headed off for a weekend of camping (if you can call it that) with my cousin Shannon and his family up near Arthur. It's only an hour or so away, so we won't get killed fueling the beast. It is a nice beast, though, courtesy of our new best friends the Bowmans! Will post some more pics after we get back Sunday night.

Madeline decided to spell her shortened name "Maddie". Thought it looked cuter ;-) Who am I to disagree?

An interesting address to the TED conference.

I love reading. Always have, for as long as I can remember. In fact Lynn wanted me to take a picture of both of girls sitting on the couch reading the other day. They both love to read, especially Maddy. She is voracious. And not just the fluffy stuff most kids her age read. Her favorite book right now is the Girls Book of Verse and she'll proudly tell you how far into Genesis she has read.

My Mom thinks my life should be committed to paper one of these days. I'm not so sure. I've done some interesting things, and people seem to enjoy hearing my stories, but is it worth publishing? Give me another ten years and I'll let you know. I have discovered that the earlier chapters of my life have shaped the ones yet to be written. Like a good novelist, I'm trying to envision the end so that the chapters from here on out make sense. I'm storyboarding my life. Wish I had started sooner.

Another great performance... love this guy.
