Here is a picture of the 2007 Christmas tree just completed today. This year we purchased a new tree. It’s pre-lit and we added LED lights to add color. It’s also 9 feet tall and narrow at the base so it looks different from the one we had for years. We all think it looks [...]
Family
The kids like Pucca
The kids like the show Pucca; it’s really funny in a less than 6 year old sorta way… It’s good addictive fun. The other show they like is Power Rangers.
$10 HG Gundam models
Last week we were in Flushing and found HG Saviour Gundam and HG Insurgent Ginn for $10 each. We ended up buying two of each. I assembled the first one and even put on the stickers for my son. Here is the picture of it put together. My son likes it a lot and is [...]
Kids and TV
When I was a small kid, I had to worry about being able to change the TV station from channel 4 to channel 2. Or to channel 13. And how to get UHF. I just overheard my 5 year old son: “Grandma? Can you record that show?” I had to learn how to turn the [...]
The Mercedes Experience
Our Mercedes experience is less than perfect. In fact, a lot less than perfect. It is not an experience one wants to have if one can avoid it. We have the 2000 year model of ML320, the Mercedes SUV. Granted, it is a 7-year old car. But still, it is a Mercedes. It is supposed [...]

Kids and digital cameras
For Christmas the kids had each gotten Disney digital cameras. These were okay but needed special software, a non-standard USB cable, and had no preview window. Yesterday Lily and I got the kids inexpensive affordable low end HP digital cameras. I’ll post the best pictures they take over the weekend here.
Back from a 5 day vacation this week
Every year Lily’s company nominates about 100 employees or so and sends them to a company paid vacation/off site meeting. These nominations are to reward them for outstanding achievements. The employees get to bring their significant others and this year Lily was selected to go. This is the second time Lily and I went and [...]
Hello! I'll be right with you!
5 year old boy to 3 year old girl at 5 am: “You HAVE to go downstairs and get my toy doggie.” 3 year old girl: “I’m scared! No one’s downstairs!” 5 year old boy: “HE-LL-O! I’ll be right with you!” Lately he’s been picking up words and phrases from somewhere and it’s really funny. [...]
