Summer is almost over **sigh**

School's just started for me, and I'm having a hard time getting into gear with things. I know it's just the last vestiges of summer that are still hanging on, but that should change after Labor Day on Monday. School starts for my son next week, which I know my wife is looking forward to, but it'll somehow be bittersweet when that happens, because that officially seals it - summer is over! School work begins in earnest, the air gets crisper, leaves begin to fall, and the long trudge towards next spring. I enjoy the promise of the colder months, and being able to sleep at night with the window open at night, but as soon as it gets cold again, I'll bemoan the fact that summer was too short. Anyway, with a few more days until the semi-official end (Labor Day) of summer, we should all enjoy the coming days before the year's school and work routines get into high gear.

I've been on vacation...the blog will resume shortly.

I've been away from writing on the blog for a couple of weeks now, but I've been thinking about it. I'm going to resume shortly, but I'm probably going to change the angle of the blog a bit, and make it less about kids and family. I guess I'm going to open up the blog a bit. I'll see though. Please stay tuned!

...Oh brother, they named their kid what?!?-Part 4

Things just keep getting better (or going south, depending on how you look at it) with the kooky kids names. Here's a link to some wonderful examples of bad kids names. Dow Jones? That kid can absolutely not fail in his life! He'll have to be a stockbroker no matter what!
