Fun with kids
One of my favorite Jack Handy quotes is "The face of a child can say it all- especially the mouth part of the face."
A few nights ago I was putting Carolyn to bed. In the middle of her prayer, she sits up and says, "Wait, I gotta bless somebody. Mom told me about... Never mind, I don't remember."
I then escorted Carolyn to her bed, tucked her in, and leaned over to get a hug. I had shaved my head just a few hours before. She reached her arms around my neck and said "Good night, Daddy. Where's your hair?"
Carolyn is very much like her Grammy (Beth's Mom). We saw Grammy the next day and the first thing she asked me was, "Rob, where's your hair?" I forgot it in my other pants.
One morning I heard the kids playing in another room. I heard Seth say, "Get in the bag." At first I was concerned- kids and plastic bags don't mix- but I decided to keep listening. He kept insisting, "Get in the bag," and I heard Carolyn disagreeing. It sounded to me like he was telling Carolyn to climb into his sleeping bag. He then stuffed a balloon into the sleeping bag and said, "There, see? There's a balloon in the bag. It's a party. There's a party in the bag. Get in the bag." I was grateful that I was in another room so that they couldn't hear my laughter.

I've got a golden twinkle in my eye
Here are more things I found and find worthy of sharing.
= 1 =
"By the end of today, what would you wish to happen?" Don't wait to get things done, start on them now and then keep at them- little by little.

The title "How to be outstanding" is a little misleading. It doesn't instruct, it reveals.

Astounding optical illusions

I love the rain.

Protesters complain too much

I've got a Golden Ticket
I read various blogs on a daily basis and I occasionally come across something that changes me, or at least means something to me. So I'm going to attempt to post (occasionally) a Best Of- list of things I find during my wanderings.
= 1 =
Here's a really long post about what Michael Lopp calls a "Trickle List". If you don't want to take the time to read it, I'll condense it for you.
Don't worry about creating To Do lists- they just make you feel guilty when you don't do something on the list. Instead, make a list of things you feel you should do- alot. The Trickle List is more like a recurring, daily task list. I've been thinking about doing something like this recently because I just need a small, daily reminder for some things.
= 2 =
I don't mean to rock anyone's world here, but I'm not exactly a sports fan. I don't DO outside- it would ruin my pasty complexion. But I can recognize an amazing baseball moment when I see one. A ball girl makes a truly amazing catch and then just tosses the ball to the nearest "real" team member. Heroes are not always the ones in the limelight.
= 3 =
Let's get organized!
Jott - Capture thoughts, create tasks and set reminders with a simple phone call. Basically, you call a number and then you dictate a message and it gets turned into an e-mail, a reminder, an appointment, a list, a blog post, whatever you set it up to be. And it's (mostly) free.
Remember the Milk - A great way to manage your tasks. It can talk to Google Calendar, e-mail, IM, Twitter, and lots of other inputs. Free, free, free.
Now Do This - Bar none, the simplest To Do list on the web. Again, free of charge.
= 4 =
Tomorrow (September 19) is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Honestly, I think this one's a complete, utter, asinine, bona fide waste of time but it sure is getting popular.
