6 year old sleepover
My daughter is having a sleepover with her friend tomorrow night and she presented me with a written list of what she wants to do during the sleepover. Can anybody help me decipher this? Continue reading 6 year old sleepover
Smelly Phishing Bait
Phishing, that act of impersonating another person via email to get you to log in to a false website designed to steal your personal information is rampant. I get emails a few times a day from people claiming to be banks, PayPal, EBay etc… stating that my account has been breached Continue reading Smelly Phishing Bait
As American as apple….
From the other room I heard my son telling my daughter to stop. First reaction, OK what now… as he comes running into my office saying “look what she did!”
A little background first. My daughter has been into apples, but lately, she likes chewing the peel off of them and leaving most of the meat of the apple there. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know. As long as she is eating something even remotely healthy, I’m happy. So back to the story…
He comes in holding this apple that she has ‘peeled’ and says ‘what does this look like to you?’ I saw it right away, a map of North America.
I know what you’re thinking, the daughter was just being clever. Well, she is that, but she is 6 and thinks Ireland is a state and Indiana is a whole other country. She might recognize the US on a map or globe but she couldn’t recall it well enough to chew an apple skin off to recreate it with the peel.
So, I thought this was a rather cool event and I documented it electronically for posterity sake. It has been provided below for your viewing pleasure.
It’s got everything, Maine, Florida, and Texas, a skinny Central America and even the top of South America. All in all, a fairly excellent job if I might say so myself. And if you look hard enough, you can see my baby in the background grinning with excitement at the enthusiasm her Dad showed at her remarkable feat.
OK… so it was really cool to me :)

The Green and Red of Mayo
The Green and Red of Mayo movie was made from pictures I took in Ireland in September of 2001. My wife, 3 children, my Mum and my inlaws all returned from the trip late in the evening on September 10th. The next day, everything changed and I made this movie in an effort to both remember and forget. Continue reading The Green and Red of Mayo

Kids Say…
I have been tracking the things my daughter (who is 6 at the time of this initial post) says/asks. Not everything mind you, just the stuff that makes me see the world through her eyes. Continue reading Kids Say…
New Friends and Chinese Food
I love to travel, and because of the Navy I have had plenty of opportunity. The one thing I dislike about travel is traveling alone, which is another thing I have plenty of opportunity to do. During the work day it’s not so bad, but going out to eat and sightseeing is just depressing if you do it alone, Continue reading New Friends and Chinese Food
