One with the Puppet
I’ve gotten into the lolcats thing lately. See I Can Has Cheezburger for examples of this, but looking at some of the examples, most noticeably the walrus with bucket theme, I got to wondering whether these unintentionally cross the line of being offensive to African Americans. I asked a co-worker about this, and their response …

We got a new camcorder today. It’s all digital. Expect enlightenment soon. I’m trying to figure out where this year went. Jessie turns 1 on the 24th. She’s started taking a few steps on her own. Anyway, I’m working on a few side projects that should be entertaining, at least for me.
This is our backyard. Yes, that was a big tree that fell over about a week ago. If it had fallen a different direction, it might have caused some major havoc, but we’re lucky/blessed.
It’s been a while since I wrote on the blog. Life has kept us rather busy. In short: Jacob turned 3 yesterday. He has new pictures in the webgallery links for April 2007.

When I come home, it’s dinner, bath, bed for Jacob, and by then, Laureen’s asleep with Jessie. Weekends, if I’m not working at church, there’s Laureen’s morning yoga class, Jacob’s Little Gym, then …
I’m involved in a study at our church called the “Search for Significance”. It’s an interesting way to reexamine life, especially from the perspective of all of the lies that we tell ourselves. Tonight’s lie was “When I do something wrong, I blame myself and am not worthy of love.” Some friends and I discussed …
Jacob is getting pretty tall for his 2.5 years. As a matter of fact, his head is almost, but not quite, at my waist. This is important for only one reason: he likes to run around and crash into people forehead first. Of course, I’m the one getting crashed into…. And I guess you could …
