ATA Strands us in Hawaii
Friday, April 4th, 2008Don’t you hate it when you fly to Hawaii, then your airline goes bankrupt while you’re there, and cancels your return flight?
Well, worse things than 2 extra days of vacation could befall a person. Northwest Airlines was nice enough to give us a deal on a Monday red eye (after 60 minutes of us freaking […]
Noah’s Heritage
Saturday, March 15th, 2008Recently, after my mom forwarded me an email explaining how we’re 12th-or-so cousins who-knows-how-many-times-removed of Katharine Hepburn (through Thomas Janney), I asked her (my mom, not the late Ms. Hepburn) & Jo’s mom for the nationality breakdown of each of us. So here are the results of generations of random Europeans (and one Native American) […]
Tuvok Obama
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008I’ve been thinking for awhile about how Obama is Tuvok. I knew I wasn’t the first to realize this, so I finally Googled it. For your blog-reading pleasure, I have compiled the following list:

President Annoying Toy
Friday, January 18th, 2008The toy I’m listening to right now plays the following hits
Hickory, Dickory, Dock
This Old Man
Baa Baa Blacksheep
Pop Goes the Weasel

Dot dot dot.
Or would he?
P.S. We live […]

Thursday, January 17th, 2008I asked Johanna if she wanted a laptop that also magically cleaned the house.
She said, “Yes.”
I asked if she wanted a laptop, and also one hundred fairies to do her bidding.
She said, “I can do my own bidding.”
I love doing my own bidding:
Me: Ben, I bid thee: drink a glass of water.
Me: As you wish, […]
Pat’s link to all our Christmas Photos
Sunday, December 30th, 2007Since my mother-in-law Pat VanderBeek did such a good job getting all these photos together, I figured that I’d just give y’all a link to see our Christmas as the VanderBeeks. As you can see Guitar Hero was a hit thanks to Nathan, and unfortunately I’m experiencing withdrawals.
We missed snow at their house by only […]

Happy Birthday, Uncle Nathan!
Saturday, October 27th, 2007Noah told us he wanted to make a card for Uncle Nathan, but we explained to him it was too late to mail it to him. So Noah suggested we use “the internet” and other “technology” to get it to him on time.
Noah sat down with pen and paper and started thinking:
He decided to start […]
