"Further Up and Further In!": November 2013
http://annesfastlife.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Further Up and Further In! Monday, November 25, 2013. Here We Go Again. I wrote my last post on the first of November about one holiday. Now it's the end of November, and I write this evening about another holiday. I know - I do it every year. I don't mean to beat a dead horse here, except that it's far from a dead one. My kids are confronted with this horse repeatedly this time of year, year after year. To say, "Do you intend to give her a candy cane or not? How could you possibly know? It's done. N...

Daddy Magic: February 2009
http://daddytmagic.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
For the last four days, I've been dealing with a terrible bout of flu/cold/something terrible. I never really spiked a big fever, but I did get achy all over. There were times when I could only lie in bed and moan. My wife has been such a big stud to manage everything and help nurse me through it. Links to this post. The rank exam consisted of five components: techniques, forms, self defense, sparring, and breaking. The techniques (outer knife-hand block, e.g.) were not a big problem, nor wer...Finally, ...

Daddy Magic: October 2008
http://daddytmagic.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Guess who had a good long romp in the dirt today? Links to this post. Two kinds of Daddy Magic. Tonight, Eliza was having a hard time settling down, so after 40 minutes of poking my head into the room to remind her to lie still and be quiet, I decided it was time for action. I went and very soberly sat next to her. Eliza, I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this.". Curious and apprehensive eyes stared back at me. OK, Daddy," a little unsure about all this. A nod, yes. That's the good kind of Daddy Magic.

My 8-year-old son Ian is destined for a career in writing. Behold his latest work. My only input was on some capitalization. Everything else is his, including drop-capital and word emphasis. I might add that this is a work in progress, and he's greedy for any spare lap-top time to work on it. For the uninitiated, Bionicles. Are fantasy creatures from the Lego. Universe, complete with online games, comics, books and an extensive back-story to drive sales. Do you have to make us miss literally hours. 8221;...

The Diller Family Garden. What's most exciting is that finally the broccoli plants have all flowered, and we are not far from having garden broccoli on the table.

Daddy Magic: Sonar Jamming Tiger Moths
http://daddytmagic.blogspot.com/2009/07/sonar-jamming-tiger-moths.html
Sonar Jamming Tiger Moths. I just found out the neatest thing about moths and bats. Bats, we all know, use sonar to detect their dinner in-flight, in much the same way that submarines detect target ships or airport radars detect incoming planes. What's super nifty in this article I just read in Science. Is that several kinds of moths use countermeasures to jam the bats' sonar signals. How cool is that? Who knew that there was this whole sonar battle going on over our heads in the dusky skies?

Sunday, February 28, 2010. Toddler Dinner Etiquette, Part 2. We have all been informed of proper dinner etiquette. Sometimes dinner, or lunch, doesn’t happen at home and you find yourself someplace new. Dining at a restaurant is a little different than dining at home. You may find that the Grown Ups don’t really like going to these places because they are afraid of something. Let me help you put their minds at ease. You might also see people walking by with their dogs. The Grown Ups could be afraid t...
