Denver, LA, Ignacio

I'm all over the damn place.  In my 48 hours in Anaheim I managed to go to two days of conferences, do my little presentation, quickly go see the beach on day 1 and zip through Disney for Mickey ears on day 2.  Travel seems so glamorous until you're in a Hyndai Accent and wiping your face with a sock.  I definitely met the creepy guy standards, wolfing down my hamburger in the parking lot of the world's most famous theme park.  I'd spent my entire lunch buying mouse hats and had no time for napkins.  And it was hot in that little car.  Sweaty, greasy, covered in ketchup--I may make the kids wear the hats at least an hour a day. 

Now I'm in Ignacio, CO and staying at the newly remodeled Sky Ute Casino.  This is Southern Ute country.   It's wide open spaces, snow-capped mountains, and people with a healthy respect for the environment.  This may be why everybody does their smoking indoors.  Hey, if I have to second-hand a carton a day so a bird may live, then so be it.  But I have a feeling my canary would have died a long time ago.

This is the picture of health...

That's me at Seal Beach in CA.  Other people wear suit jackets to conferences, but their Brooks Brothers doesn't come with a hood. 

Meanwhile, back at home...

"Quin wore big boy pants today.  And then getting him to wear a diaper to bed was a challenge.  So he is wearing a diaper with the big boy pants over the diaper.  I just hope he is excited about the pants in the morning."

Q, I hear you man.  Fashion faux pas or function fo shizzle?

Why you have dogs first...

Everybody responds to a whistle.

Sadly, the dog the least of them.

Sick Day 2010

really gotta change the couch cover.  Dominates the photo a bit.

Oh cute little vessels of foulness.   Just get it over with and get me sick now.  Watching you is like standing in front of a firing squad with hesitation issues.  But I love you.

And there's the dog...and more importantly, harmony betwixt the dog and the cat.

And for still being alive despite meowing right after I got Q to go back to sleep...here's to you girl.

all right...you win.  You can sneeze on me.

Parenting Fail

He's taken to sleeping at the door. The camera seemed like a safe way to find out where he was before I opened it.
