Vintonville - The life and times of a guy, his Lady-Friend, a Little Dude and a Little Sis.

Like a four-year-old, I’m fighting sleep because it’s too early to go to bed. #
If the low cloud cover dipped any lower, we’d be in Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow. #

One of the cool things about sharing a birthday with Little Dude is the way I can totally disguise my man-child birthday wishes with the easy cover of “Little Dude would LOVE it”. And 98% of the time, I’m telling the truth. Such are the benefits of bridging a 31 year age gap with immaturity.

Prepping Year One. Skipped it in theaters, am pretty sure I’ll realize why when it’s all over… but rentals make it so easy to say “Yes”. #

KVNU’s Movie Show at 5pm. Probably talk Amelia, Saw VI, Astroboy, The Vampires Assistant and a post DVD release thrashing of Transformers 2. #
Parent/Teacher meeting for Little Dude. Yeah, that feels weird. #
Trying out this newfangled thing called “Twitter” all these hipsters …

Well folks its official!  Dan finally admitted this is his “Daddy blog”.  Rightly so, he posts and his posts are awesome!  The dude has some serious skills.  He’s ranked–if not won–every contest he’s ever entered.   He landed a  freelance job with a running company when his last official run was in Junior High.  He was …

Joshua was old enough this year to actually register for a sport…  if you can call T-ball for ages 3-7 a sport!  Major League or not, we were the proud and excited parents, our boy playing T-ball!   I’ve taken the next step in life…right!  After practice, games, more practices my little man will be hitting, …
