  • Blessed.

    We’re blessed every day, but this weekend a little more than usual. Blessed that the dog broke his toenail cleanly off and only required an antibiotic and some time away from licking his paw. Blessed that when I was holding Grayson and I slipped off the icy front porch that we weren’t seriously hurt. We…

  • Park Time

    The Shoos were holed up for most of the week and the weekend suffering from a cold. We were all going stir crazy and luckily the weather let up so we could enjoy some time at the park. The hat matches the kid’s personality. Mrs. Shoo sporting a new hat she just finished. Do you…

  • Rides Great

    I haven’t gotten to do much trail riding this year. When I finally got the bike out a couple of weeks ago, the hanger that holds the rear derailleur (the device that switches the gears) snapped off. That was a mile and a half walk back. After a visit to Amazon and a new part,…

  • Reflektor

    I found the connector.

  • Fun was had!

    Congratulations Terry and Kirsten!      

  • New Haircut

    This weekend, I got the privilege of taking Grayson to get a haircut. He has a history of crying at all of his haircuts. I thought it would be different with me. Well, we can dream, can’t we? Before: During: After: He looks like a totally new kid. Mom was a little upset with how…

  • Lolla 2013: The Dino Stories

    Last weekend I went up for my annual pilgrimage to Chicago for Lollapalooza 2013, a 3 day music festival with over 300,000 people attending. This was my 5th. As a tradition, and a great way to find people, we stick Danny the inflatable Dino on a pool float. We carry him around as a badge…
