    Scarlett’s Second Halloween

    I know this was months ago, but I started writing this back then and just got the opportunity to finish it recently. This year was Scarlett’s second Halloween, but the first one where she had some kind of a clue about what was going on. The previous year we’d dressed her up as Toad, but…

  • Memorial Day 2013

    Memorial Day was pretty awesome this year. All three original Mesa Brothers were reunited for the first time since Christmas. It was my third major holiday celebration since Scarlett was born (in 2012 we only celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas), but it was the first one I hosted. Even with Danielle’s family only 3 hours away…

    Last year after Dina and Brian went to The Village for Halloween, I did some research on this tradition and decided we would go whenever things worked out.  Well, this year was that year so we decided to spend Halloween night in Greenwich Village in NYC’s Manhattan.  But, first, we rewind once again to last…

  • Happy Columbus Day!

    Enjoy your day off government (and other) employees!

  • PC Christmas

    This is over a decade old, but I just discovered it. ‘Twas the night before Christmas and Santa’s a wreck… How to live in a world that’s politically correct? His workers no longer would answer to “Elves”, “Vertically Challenged” they were calling themselves. And labor conditions at the North Pole Were alleged by the union…

  • Feliz Cinco De Mayo!

    Which is not Mexican Independence Day.

  • Happy New Year!

    Welcome to 2008!

  • Merry Christmas

    I wanted to wish a Merry Christmas to my readers, however many (or few) of you there are. I hope this is a time of happiness and family fun for you. And, if you’re Christian, I hope this can also be a time of reflection for you upon the sacrifices Jesus made for you so…
