I love Halloween, but this year was especially awesome because I got to go Trick-or-Treating with Aiden for the first time. I’ve taken him to a couple of houses before (sometimes just carried him there) on Halloween, but he was too little to really get the full experience. This year, dressed up in his Jedi Knight...

The elementary school where Aiden goes to pre-school discovered one confirmed case of H1N1 virus this week. It’s a SWINE FLU OUTBREAK! They won’t be closing the school though. Things that they suggest will help: wash your hands often, don’t share personal items or food/drink, and keep sick kids at home. ...

Aiden loves Playhouse Disney, and we tape new shows for him all the time. A relatively new addition to the Disney lineup is the “Imagination Movers”, now just entering their second season. The show is about four guys that help people with their problems, which they call “Idea Emergencies”. Along the...

I figured that some day in the future, there would be a little boy trying to put his grubby paws on my collectibles. Three years...

There was a charity benefit concert for a local teen at Coruscant Comics on Saturday. Chrissy had just left with her sisters, but she called me as she passed by the parking lot to tell me that there were Star Wars characters outside. They were there to support the event, which was very cool of them. Chrissy said we should...

Once again, it’s time to decorate the front yard for Halloween. The garage rafters were full of orange storage boxes, including last year’s monstrous Day-After-Halloween haul. Just getting everything out was a chore, but it was all worth it once the yard was complete. We easily have as many Halloween decorations as...
