All Your Song Are Belong to Us!
The Little Guy turns six this week. Hard to believe that he’s only a few weeks from starting first grade. Time waits for no man. Or woman as the case might be. I digress. So, for his present we decided to get him an iPod. He loves music and listens, sings, dances around the house…

My boys go to camp during the summer. It’s a great camp and the people there really care about the boys. For their part, the boys love it at camp. Everything’s all hunky-dory and what not. Or at least it was. Last week we found out that there was a child in The Boy’s bunk…

When The Boy was 2 we had a series of incidents at his daycare. He had a friend that he had spent every day with since they were about 6 weeks old. This boy’s parent stopped talking to The Wife and I, and rumors started flowing around the daycare. We eventually found out that our…
