It looks as thought they updated Blogger. Cool. Neat. I like it when things are updated. We are in Ventura. Simon is way sick. Everyone is sick but Robyn n' me. Simon is crying. Robyn is trying to put him to sleep. Jack is riding in circles. Now he is using a cain to walk. Soon we will be playing trains. I need to make more coffee. I also need to write some things. Soon. Maybe. I'm putting a new podcast together. Something cool and radical. For cool and radical websites.

Death of Summer

It has been an eventful summer. I have been Mr. Mom. The Mr. Mom thing has been nice, but it's also been tiring. If the kids were a little older, it might be different. Jack is a little cooped up I think. We are at the mercy of Simon and his nap schedule. Poppo came down yesterday. We went to the Autry. He seemed tired--more tired than usual. Jack had fun. He had more fun than I thought he would have. In the evening we went to the Pantry. I had a ham steak and eggs. My mom bought me a mug. I have also been watching a lot of Dr. Who. This is all.

Good Morning Summer Vacation!

So, summer is here. At this point the things I write on this blog are really only for me and posterity. I am writing this from the table in my garage. My garage has really turned into a nice little office. I've my musical things, records, even some workout stuff. It's nice and cool and way better than anything I might pay for. When the kids go down, I roll out to work.

Jack is sleeping in our room tonight. Simon is sleeping in his crib for the first time. Should be fun. We really aren't going anywhere this summer. Robyn will be working more, though (which means I will become Mr. Mom). This is fine and good, but I know it will prove to be tiring.

Other things: sat in Dugout Club seats with the Sycz's. Amazing good amazing. Saw Buffalo Springfield with my dad. Sublime. Boss. Ended the school year with something of a bang. Thought about losing weight. Will think more about it tomorrow.

Reading: Nothing really. I should probably pick something up.
Watching: Just finished Generation Kill. Sort of starting Sons of Anarchy. I'll probably plow through. I like it enough so far.
Listening: Mostly podcasts.

I also got a rad Timex watch for Father's Day. Robyn is da' bomb. And I ordered some new Locals from Maui. Mine were worn right through.

Time to write about baseball. And record a podcast.

Father's Day

It is Father's Day. It has been some time since I wrote at the Woolly. I feel that, for posterity at the very least, I must keep on writing things here. Today was a good day. For Father's Day, I kind of wanted to just go in the garage and write all day. I wanted some quiet and solitude. Instead, I got lots of kid time, which was better and more fun.

Jack, Simon, and Robyn woke me up. Jack brought be a bottle of beer and a watch. The watch was/ is a sweet Timex. I feel like an adult now. It needs a battery, but I've worn it all day despite this deficiency.

Robyn made breakfast. This is something of a rarity, but it was delicious. Sausage biscuits and cheese. She just started drinking (and making) coffee. I felt spoiled. It was nice.

Robyn wanted to clean, so I took Jack and Simon for a walk around the lake. Jack ran some. He also picked up dirt along the way. It was fun. We stopped at the park. He slid. Then we made our way back.

Then Jack and I went to Travel Town. We watched people play with trains. We then rode the train. After, we went to Jamba Juice. Everything was good.

When we got home, Jack went down for a nap and I got my garage time. I got that bit of garage writerly solitude in. I also drank the beer. It was fun. When Jack woke up I took him and Simon to the store. We got steak and charcoal. I then cooked the steak with some vegetables. I just finished watching an episode of Generation Kill. Now everyone is asleep and I have some stuff to do. It was a fun Father's Day.

Colorado Springs, Colorado

We've spent the last couple days hanging around Colorado Springs. We are staying at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. It is really nice. We got a sweet deal off Priceline. We will be heading back to Fort Collins soon.

Jack was a little sick last night, so we didn't get up as early as we wanted. We still had fun though, hitting up some old spots we used to hit when we would come as kids.

So far, the trip has been really nice. We watched the Rockies dismantle the Dodgers and I got a tour of the stadium brewery. Overall, it's been a very nice trip. Jack is playing with a train, Simon is on his mat, and Back to the Future is on the television.

Spring Break

It is Monday. I am on Spring Break. I just went for a jog. It was a slow jog. I am wildly out of shape. Simon is in his vibrating chair. I think he is over it. We will be going to the park in a bit. Jack is playing with trains. We leave for Colorado tomorrow. school is going well. Other things are going well. This is all.

Simon James Gloyd

This is how our family looks now. Simon is rad. He was born 2.5.2011. Last night was our first night home. He slept really well. We'll enjoy it while we can.
