Here’s a quick look at what I was reading online from June 21st to June 30th:
Flip, flop and fly
Jun 30, 2009 in Around the House, Fatherhood
I think The Girl’s acrobatic inclinations are starting to rub off on her brother. After six years of staunch skittishness, he’s finally willing to rumble, tumble and let his feet leave the ground. I guess the indignity of being shown up by a toddler was just too much for him.
Case in point — this “game” that kids came up with after dinner last night. There’s no way The Boy would have done anything like this a year ago, but now he’s willing to risk minor head trauma in the name of entertainment. It’s progress, I guess.
Kennedy’s Berlin speech
Jun 26, 2009 in History
Forty-six years ago today, U.S. President John F. Kennedy delivered the following address to the citizens of West Berlin.
Delivered a little less than two years after the construction of the Berlin Wall and during a period when many West Berliners still lived in fear of being overrun by the East German forces which surrounded their tiny enclave, the speech is now seen as one the defining moments of the Cold War.
It’s so damn hot… milk was a bad choice.

This is totally unacceptable.
A weekend at home
Jun 22, 2009 in Around the House, Fatherhood
We had a very busy, but very good, weekend. The Wife went back to the Swamp for Friday and the first part of Saturday to help her parents pack up the house they’ll be moving out of soon and we had some friends and their kids over for backyard water fun and dinner on Saturday night.
Sunday was relatively laid back. Just some grocery shopping and wandering around the aisles of the Home Depot, looking at possibilities for remodeling our bathroom and kitchen. We didn’t do anything for Father’s Day per se, but that’s fine with me. Just being able to relax with The Wife and the kids is enough for me.
