Questions for Jimmy Carter

Has he ever met George Washington? Does he play Packrat? Is he excited about Spore? Does he have a question for me? Inquiring minds want to know.

Drinking Sand

I want more than politics. I want leadership. I want a politician who understands the difference between fighting the fights he can win, and fighting the fights that need fighting.

Rituals and Routines that build a family

Families can provide a safe place to retreat from the chaos of the world- when the kids are teenagers you’ll want them to turn to home to find that peace (even if Mario Kart isn’t your idea of peace) and you will have laid the foundation already.

The League of Extraordinary Kids

Carter: (waving a big stick) This is my staff of leadership.

Robby: So, does that mean you’re the president?

Carter: Well, we could vote. . . .

Six Million Dollar Dog

In the thirteen years we have known her, Snooks has survived poison, vitamins, electrocution, car bumpers, and a bum spleen. This time, we think it’s her stomach.

Back to School

This year Carter has requested that we study King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and I’m excited about plunging in- but still, during my last trip through the grocery store I worried that Carter would be missing out on the whole school anticipation ritual.

Monroe County Fair

We spent Wednesday afternoon at the fair. It was one fine day.
