During the summer I enjoy driving my little convertible, for the sun, the air, etc. If I have to get in the car and drive, having the top down makes it so much more enjoyable. That is, until I get behind a vehicle that is out of tune and belching out a big black cloud [...]

“School’s for the summer.” I remember when those song lyrics brought joy to my ears as I headed into a few months of blissful lack of responsibility and carefree fun. These days it makes me feel empathy for my wife trying to fill the day with activities to keep our kids engaged and out of [...]
I have four kids, which means I have four distinct little personalities that are growing in my home. Each is unique in the way they approach life, especially trying out new things. My oldest boy is disabled, so he is of course different than the norm, but the others fall into more typically known categories.

Have you checked out the new Street View feature from Google? If not, it is a fun view of a couple of major cities as taken from a roving van topped with some special cameras. The low resolution photos are all linked together for a virtual tour along city streets. Google is [...]
