One of the things that I am really happy about when things like this come up, is that my kids really are not picky eaters. Sure each of them have those things they don't like, and they almost always groan if I make oatmeal more than one a week, but for the most part there is almost nothing they won't eat.
How I meet Their Mother – A Date with my Wife
The silence was broken when I said, "You know, I think the last time we when to Red Lobster you threw up." A moment of thoughtful silence "Wow, that date was before child #1. And I have thrown up so many time since then that I had forgotten about that." "Well I am glad we are now measuring time in numbers of time you have thrown up."
Visiting The Magi
As I said I got to see a great many wonderful things. Among those was the Cathedral in Koln. As a child I only saw it once. I have since been back there and seen it again, but it did not change the way that I saw it.

That was not the case with this Cathedral, if anything it looked bigger and more impressive to me. And made me feel smaller.
People Going To Space
This past year we saw some incredible steps toward finally getting into space. The private companies, SpaceX and Virgin Galatic have made some impressive progress toward normal space travel, Notably with the dragon space craft docking with the international space station and the their new reusable rocket system. Again not traveling to other planet but a big step. This past year NASA also put on one of the greatest shows with their Curiosity rover, Landing on Mars. It has been a great year for space travel. Here is looking forward to another very exciting year.

Really I have had a hard time getting into any of the projects that I was very excited about before that. But, I did promise myself that I would not stew in my own juices forever.

Red Tails – A Movie Review
If you know nothing about the Tuskegee Airmen you can watch this movie and enjoy it. It does a good job of showing you a slice of life of what happened during the last years of World War II within one unit of Tuskegee Airmen “Red Tails.”
Christmas Cookies Interrupted
I had just gotten the first batch of cookies in the oven when the cry of, “He’s bleeding” went up. Now, understand I live in a house with 6 boys and 3 girls (not counting my wife and I.) There are many injuries.
