They changed the pick up point for my youngest; he now gets picked up in front of the house, not across the street. So today I got to see him as the bus pulled away. He looked at me briefly as they buckled him in, and then looked straight ahead. The thing about a [...]

Well, I picked up some extra roma tomatoes, some garlic from the garlic stand, and some local honey (yes honey) for my tomato sauce. I managed to somehow get the ‘tomato machine’ working.

It’s not just Harry Potter that has kids crazed, begging their parents for preorders, and hoping to stay up to go to book release parties. This Twilight series has kids (girls?) going nuts, too.
I just preordered Breaking Dawn, and we might go to the midnight party at River Lights (Second Edition) to get our copy. [...]

We just bought Teddy a new scooter, here in Iowa. This was taken in Brooklyn, years ago. He’s not using it much here, and I am not sure of the date this photo was taken. That’s kind of important because there was a date where he was a bit more [...]

Car Break-In
Posted in Current Affairs, Iowa, Local News, Local Stuff, commentary, family, life, money, tagged car, crime, dubuque, family, Iowa, police on November 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Earlier this week I woke up to my driver’s side window smashed in (by a spark plug, apparently a common way of breaking car windows quietly and quickly). My GPS, which I normally take in every night, was stolen. I was supposed to go out for one more drive, but Ted wanted to walk, instead, [...]
