Exploring the Coast
After my computer died Monday morning, we headed out down the coast to visit Pawley’s Island. At Pawley’s Island, we found the parking lot and headed out to the beach. We made sandwiches, complete with real sand. Chloe huddled under a beach towel to stay warm while Camille played. Chloe decided that it really wasn’t
At the Beach
I don’t know why, but last month I just felt like I needed to get to the beach. The endless sky, endless ocean meeting at the horizon was something that I was in need of. I had thought of going to Mexico or Key West, but decided it would be better to stay much closer
robbie, robbie schaefer
yesterday, we were so excited to get to see Robbie Schaefer put n a kids’ concert in Decatur! He’s one of the Kids Place Live (XM?Sirius 116) DJs that we love listening to. Instead of being ten hours away, he was only ten minutes away, performing some of his kids’ music live on stage. It
The Stroller
Remember my post about buying a stroller for Chloe. not to play with, but to ride in? Well, last week we took it to DC and it was wonderful. Not all wonderful, of course, but overall, wonderful. I didn’t enjoy having to drag it through security, especially since I am now dragging two laptops with
Books, Books Everywhere
But not a page to read. On Monday afternoon, after returning from Baltimore, we headed out to the Library of Congress to take a tour and learn more about what’s there. We also planned to meet my grad school officemate and his family. As we walked to to the Jefferson Building from the metro stop,
Sunday in Baltimore
Our ZipCar reservation started at 10:30, so we had a little bit of time his morning to get breakfast and get packed for our overnight trip to Baltimore. We ended up with a bright red Jetta, that the girls just loved! On the way to Baltimore, we stopped at Target to get (yet another) swimsuit
City Saturday
We headed out around 8am this morning and stopped at the bagel place to get some breakfast. Only one guy was doing everything, so it took us quite some time to get out. By the time we walked the two blocks to the bus stop, it was just about time for the bus to come,
Lincoln’s 200th Birthday
Thursday Feb 12th was Lincoln’s 200th Birthday. After we left XM, we decided to get off th train at Metro Center and visit Ford’s Theatre. I had read that they were holding various celebrations there, including the grand re-opening of the theater after renovations. I was surprised at the lack of a crowd! We walked
Live on the Farm
Yes, you read that right! The KPL Fans went to the Animal Farm this morning! And Chloe says that it doesn’t small bad. Chloe’s other observation is that everything on the farm is “awkward”. We had such a great time hanging with Kenny! We listened as he took some calls, including one from the kid
History Center
Yesterday, I managed to get enough done early enough that we headed out to the homeschool day at the Atlanta History Center. The kids were pretty excited; they love to go there. Unfortunately, the traffic was an absolute nightmare. A funeral in the middle of the highway kept all traffic at 40mph for 10 miles.
Going to the Library
As with most families, we are frequent patrons of our library system. We generally have 30-50 books checked out at any given moment and are very thankful for the wonderful online system that allows us to order and renew books and manage our account online. Recently a couple of different library issues have arisen that
I’m On Board Now
Yesterday I woke as an IBMer. (Coincidentally, I was actually wearing a blue striped nightshirt!) As when the possibility of ILOG being acquired by IBM emerged, I have continued mixed feelings about my employer change. ILOG was a wonderful company to work for. I started there back in 1997, not very long after I defended
Do You Twitter?
I like Twitter. For many reasons. One is that sometimes I have something short and simple to say and don’t want to create an entire blog entry for a random thought. I can post these to Twitter and, via the nice widget, the thought appears on the sidebar of my blog! Not only that, but
Music Saturday
This morning, we listened to a wonderful Kids Place Live speical, Ellis Paul and Robbie Schaefer together in the “real Tall Tree.” (If you don’t know what that means, go get a trial XM subscription and find out.) When we walked into Eddie’s Attic for a Gustafer Yellowgold show, we were greeted by the sight
