Arghh! Blogging can be cumbersome

So as not to look like a complete jerk I should also seriously* say here is my lovely family. For all the grief we give each other I think the journey has been a fun one.


*For those who even read this blog retort (i.e. my mom, a taxi cab driver I met in Shanghai, Ben Bernanke and sometimes my wife) you'll know I can't be too sentimental so the REAL truth of this post is to sneak yet another photo of my cool looking pumpkin ;) Peeeerrrfection!

OK that last post was really to emphasize my artistry

I like the Nintendo Wii. It is a unique platform and I look forward to what Nintendo will do in the future. This pumpkin is a hats off to the innovators over at Nintendo. Way to go "Blue Ocean"

My lovely family

Being Called Dad

I have to say that when Aidan took to calling me "James" I had a hard time with it. There is no one else in this world that can call me that and I guess I kinda like him calling me "dad"

It doesn't help things when a particular mom (names not released to protect the guilty) snickers each time he calls me "James!"

Thankfully the phase has passed (for now) and I was even offered some kisses without solicitation!

Jamesie is also a guilty mom's generated name for me. Do I as a loving husband respond with retaliation? No.

I love you honey... :)

As a child my favorite letters were I, P and O

Yes, this is Naphtali's hunky husband when he was a wee little child. Mind you that is only a regular sized coffee cup.

We have an upcoming "Guess who this baby is" contest at work. I'm going to have some fun with it and a buddy was nice enough to create this photo for me. Thanks Andy!

This header is for all those business folks out there. Guy Kawasaki created fun kids T-shirts using the idea. Please please please encouraging people to think entrepreneurially at an early age. Seems like the older I get the more boundaries I put around my ideas. I like to think its a little wisdom mixed with my childlike imagination.

I'm looking forward to the day when the IPO door opens up again. Until then I guess my other two favorite letters are M & A!

I second that motion!
