O Day

03.06.2010 School

It’s here. The day that seemed like such a good idea eight months ago … before Sarah was even born. :)
“Hey honey. The Water Quality Association’s invited us to give the keynote in March next year in Orlando. Let’s take the whole family!” said Tim, with all the Clark Griswoldian enthusiasm he could muster.
Wait, it’s [...]

A Love Letter to Dr. Seuss

03.02.2010 Play

Dude,
More than anyone not named Miles, I owe you for what I do today.
I started reading your books when I was two or three and haven’t stopped. The first book my son and I read together? Yours, too.
When I can’t write a word that’s made just right, I make up my own that fits in [...]

Stories From Home.

02.25.2010 Home

I’m on the last night of a road trip to Austin, Texas. It’s been my first plane trip since baby Sarah was born in September.
I miss my family. Emails like this about our 5-year-old son, Will, make it a little easier … and a little harder …

It Was 50 Years Ago Today

02.13.2010 Family

They said, “I do.”
And they’re the reason I’m here, sure, but they’re also the reason I like to think I’m polite and respectful and curious and, on occasion, a little funny. They’re also the reason I have two siblings – older siblings … much older siblings – whose reputations and good deeds I’ve tried to [...]

Thinking In Pictures Saturday Night

02.05.2010 Home

HBO premieres Temple Grandin tomorrow night. It’s the story of an inventor, advocate, and author who made an awful lot of people rethink autism. Her book, Thinking In Pictures, is the first book many parents read when they learn their children have the developmental disorder.
Here’s a fine piece about the production by The Daily Beast [...]

House Money, Four Little Words & The Night Everything Changed

02.01.2010 Family

Yesterday, as I planned my week ahead, I initially chose to write about strategic planning this morning. I owe you parts two through five of a simple way to make strategic planning doable. I was stressed about the week ahead – a monstrous to-do list as our practice and levels of responsibility continue to grow.
Then, [...]

Another Snow Day for Science

01.08.2010 Curiosity

Yesterday, the boy and I dug deep into the world of science with help from a bunch of experiment videos from PBS.
Today, the mad scientist continued to advance his field with ‘will it sink or float, daddy?’
Next stop, Stockholm.

Snow Day Play

01.07.2010 Curiosity

No school today. Snow day. There is some rejoicing. The boy actually likes going to school.

Our son’s gotten into science and cause/effect in a big way thanks to a free online video series over at PBS Kids’ Curious George pages.
The videos are each only a few minutes and present subjects like making music, how to [...]

One Step Forward …

12.18.2009 Family

You write check after check for tens and tens of thousands and thousands. You invest in special schools, doctors, diets, and therapies. Hours become days. Days become years. You give everything. You give stuff you didn’t know was in there because you have no choice. You didn’t ask for this, but you were given this [...]

My Son on ESPN Magazine Cover

12.17.2009 Nerdery

Or your son … or your daughter. Can’t resist. Put ‘em on the cover, or in highlights on Sportscenter.
This was too cool not to share … when was the last time a Kansas City Royal made the cover of ESPN?
