One thousand, three hundred and fifty five days. That’s a lot of time, when you consider it in terms of weeks (193.7) or even months (44.6). But it’s not a lot of time when you consider that’s how many days our older son went from the start of his life until his first […]

I’ve since canceled Packet8, and sent back their VOIP router (within the 30 day trial’s cancellation period).  While the audio was clearer, and the score a whoppingly high 4.3 at testyourvoip.com, the calls would usually drop unexpectedly after about 10 minutes.  Funny, I never noticed, and that probably says as much about each gender’s phone […]

Finally got to an Atlanta Silverbacks game this year. The S’backs have struggled of late in USL First Division play, earning just 2 points (2 ties) in their last five games. They’re camped in 10th place (out of 12th teams), and played the last place California Victory on Sat. night at home.

What do you say in a blog when you are the proud father…for the second time? You say, yeah! Quinn Wilcox Thompson, born 5/31/07 at 1616 EDT (GMT -4).  Beautiful, quiet, peaceful, innocent.  Sort of the yin to our 3-year-old’s yang, at least in terms of the night, which it always seems to […]
