Easter 2009

This was Kiera's first Easter, and what little I got to spend with her was a blast. While she still doesn't grasp the concept of finding eggs, it was fun letting her "hunt" for one that we put in front of her. We had to battle off the other kids from trying to take her egg, but that's what happens when you have four other little kids running around. Once she found her egg, first place it went? Right in the mouth. That's why she has that nice blue mark on the corner of her mouth. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay long as I had to go to work, but Kiera had lots of fun playing, eating, and crawling in the grass while I was there.

Joining the party late

I had known basic knowledge about the internet from my older brothers screwing around on bulletin boards looking for porn on a 14.4 modem in the early 90's, and also from using Prodigy at my aunt's house. However, since my parents never advanced past a 486 Windows 3.1 setup until around 1999 (and they still don't have the internet to this day), I never had any real internet experience until I got my first (and REALLY old at the time) computer in 2001. Once I got that, I entered the wonderful world of surfing on a cable modem and never looked back. To this day, I cringe if I have to use dial-up (and even DSL).

Why I gave up on "Catch-22"

I've picked this book up probably 3-4 times, and yet I've never finished.

It's not that the book isn't good; from where I've read it to (around 100 pages) it's very humorous and entertaining. It just seems to me that it starts getting repetitive, and I start losing track of characters and what's going on. Eventually I'm sure I'll finish it, but it's going to take a LOT of patience and nothing distracting me.
