This is actually the morning version. Last night they performed again and I got a camera angle that was much closer, but the... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003838.html Megan has a talent show coming up today, and our old video camera is very very old. So I went out and bought a Canon HF-10 camcorder. It's a 15oz beauty that records full 1920x1080 to a built-in hard drive.... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003813.html As if having a broken wrist isn't bad enough, I seem to have caught some kind of lingering cold. So now I have the wrist pain, the cold, and this self-nagging about how little I'm doing in comparison to Lori,... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003789.html When Lori mentioned that I should take Megan roller skating my initial reaction was kind of so-so about the idea. I figured Megan would love it because she is such a good ice skater. But I'm not a great ice... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003675.html This is going to be a really fun weekend. We are in the first of three storms, and apparently the lightest of the storms at that, and things are already going crazy. Around the Bay Area the power is out.... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003651.html Lots of fun stuff this weekend. I went to the Nutcracker with Lori and Megan. Megan was enthralled most of the time, but even though it was only an hour I could see her attention start to wain. But she... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003646.html I don't know, man, you tell me: Open and shut, I reckon. I'm actually fine with him being a Chihuaha.... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003643.html Here is my second take on rewriting the family's cinnamon roll recipe. This time I changed out the butter/milk combination that required both heating and cooling for a much easier milk powder and water combination. Milk powder is great in... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003610.html It's kinda funny what you find when you are up at 5AM waiting to run and you Google your dogs name; Oso. For one thing you find some astronomical stuff here and here. There is a band in Santa Barbara... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003609.html The toughest thing about getting in a fender bender yesterday turns out to be getting near constant admonishment from Megan about it. I figured it would be a learning experience. I took her out to see the card with it's... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003607.html Megan ran in her first race yesterday. It was the 400 meter Pumpkin Dash. I had to wake her up at 7AM to get her there by 8AM, only to find out that her race didn't start until 9:30AM. As... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003605.html I just got off the line with a friend of mine who is going to have her first kid in a couple of months. I think back to myself at that point and how I was really freaked out about... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003604.html Happy Halloween from Princess Megan!... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003601.html We had some fun with iChat on Leopard tonight doing a three-way conference with Terri in Boulder and Bill in Florida: Lori said later that it reminded her of something she saw at Epcot as a kid and now it's... http://www.muttmansion.com/ds/archives/003585.html All the advertisers want to push brand loyalty on Megan. And she certainly seems to buy into it. She definitely wants 'Barbie' for her sixth birthday. I figured I would take a shot at it, so on an errand last...
