There is roughly, oh, NOTHING that inspires hatred quite like the incessant trailers for the newest crapfest in the “Final Destination” movie series. We watched “Corpse Bride” tonight, and frankly I was a little disappointed. She said she liked it, but I could tell secretly she was pretty down too, …
Long day of plane rides Friday, followed by a long car ride home from Dulles. I can’t say I accomplished much on Saturday since I was really beat from the traveling. I was happy just to be home with Eleya and the kids! My mom had made plans to come …

Yesterday I met with the parents of the kids involved in the earlier projectile incident. The mothers of the two boys who admitted to shooting the BB rifle in question were very apologetic. The ladies seemed like genuinely nice people, too, and it was a shame to have met them …
