The Price of Autumn | Daddy's Timeout

https://daddystimeout.wordpress.com/2013/11/24/the-price-of-autumn

The Price of Autumn. Posted by Julio Ibanez. November 24, 2013. Despite (or maybe due to) spending a childhood without it, autumn quickly became my favorite season when I moved north.

Not to mention the arrival of apple cider and the addition of pumpkin to all things. While fall is full of charms, I’ve come to realize that it comes with a cost. Enter yo...

Summer Learning | Daddy's Timeout

https://daddystimeout.wordpress.com/2013/06/11/summer-learning-2

Posted by Julio Ibanez. June 11, 2013. As the last day of my son’s kindergarten year rapidly approached, the worry of summertime brain rot began to creep up on me. Certainly, we’ve all experienced it and it’s a huge impetus to the idea of year-round schooling. To go back to school. Plus, let’s face it, most of us adults won’t see another “summer vacation” until we retire. So why rush my kids to that point? 1) Learn about a president he doesn’t know. The first one on his list, it was both surprising as he...

Lepidopterophobia and Its Origins. Posted by Julio Ibanez. August 18, 2013. On the way home from a road trip, one long enough to warrant the name but short enough for us to have invited a couple of my son’s friends, a random topic of conversation came up as is the tendency after about 30 miles of continuous road travel:. My son: Dad, what do butterflies eat? My son: No, they don’t! What do they eat, really? Friend 1: I punched a butterfly once. Me: Good, because he was definitely after your brains. Thing...
