The Linus Epidemic

So, my son has what I like to call the "Linus Epidemic."  There is one particular blanket that he is very attached to.  Luckily it only causes problems at bedtime.  He absolutely cannot go to sleep without it.  Tonight we spent like an hour trying to find Hayydn's blanket twin (yes, luckily we have two).  We tried others of similar fabric and color - no go! 

Finally, we just pulled the original out of the dryer,  a little damp, and yet he was asleep in minutes with a huge smile on his face.

The question is, 'what happens when we don't have the blankey anymore?'  I think we are in serious trouble if we don't solve our little problem before those blanketrs wear out or disappear.

Somebody tell this kid it is winter!

So, I was hosing out the back of my truck and I turn around and Hayydn is splashin' around in the water. It is freezing mind you. But it was pretty funny so I had to grab some video. I had to coax him a bit because he got a little camera shy. :-). Good thing mom didn't see it or I would have been in trouble. :-).

Just testing the video posting capabilities.

Job Interview


My wife and I attended the funeral of our neighbor's baby today. It was a nice service. I have to say that I think the hardest thing I could ever be asked to do is lose a child. They are a pretty tough pair though and seem to be hanging in there.

Anyway, I also have a job interview today, so my lovely wife came along, unhappily, but she still came. If I could only get her off the phone. :)

Mobile Blogging

About 3 months ago my old phone (voyager) which I loved, developed a hunger for battery juice. :)  I would get about 2 hours per charge-standby.  Unfortunately, my phone would die all the time and I wouldn't know it.  A replacement battery cost about $40.  I went into Verizon and found out I could get the Motorola Droid for $99.  So, I did it.


I love the Droid.  I am able to do anything and everything with it.  Like the commercial says, the Droid Does!  However, this is my first "smart phone."  So, I might be blown away by stuff that is common on a bunch of phones, but ignorance is bliss. ;-).


Anyway, I found an app for updating and viewing your blog and others via your mobile device.  I have to say that I kind of like it.  This blog entry was created using the app.  So, hopefully that will mean that I will be able to actually update my blog with much more frequency.
