A

Distant Dad

O

bviously, everyone’s got my number. Yes, the answer was number 2. I would like to go see my daughter as often as possible, but that is difficult for me. Responsibilities to my immediate family compel to stay put. The only way I would go to Japan is to go as a family and, as you [...]

Y

Happy St. Patty’s Day

T

he best thing about St. Patricks Day is NOT the beer. The first time I took M to a bar on March 17, she just had to try the green beer. Of course, there is nothing special about it. It doesn’t really taste green like a freshly mowed lawn or, I suppose, [...]

Spring Break–Interim Report

March 14, 2007

Y

esterday, I mentioned that I had received comments from some people I hadn’t heard from in a long time–Tak, the Vixen.
