It is almost thanksgiving which means the most American of traditions, traveling by car. Since the rest of Ann’s family is near Philadelphia, we will be traveling up there to visit. We will also drive up to NYC for a day while we are there. McKelvey is interested in seeing the Metropolitan Museum of [...]
Every Friday we have a family movie night, with each member of the family getting a turn to choose the movie. The week that R.E.M. broke up we watched some music videos on youtube.
Now the kids really like some of the songs. It is fun to see their enjoyment of these songs from my youth. [...]
This week is a week where Ann is working while I don’t have school. Since when W&L is not in session is the only time that outside groups can book the theatres, this is not that unusual.

I have been gone a while, and it is good to be back home. We were at at Geneva Point Center in New Hampshire. It is a beautiful location: “Pine Haven”for an example. It is on Lake Winnipasaukee ( is that spelled right?), so there was a Beach which McKelvey and Arden loved. They got [...]
