American parenting is killing marriage
This article sounds very true, although I would not go as far as generalizing it for all Americans.

Mothers must devote themselves to their children above anyone or anything else, but many wives would be offended if their husbands said, “You’re pretty great, but my love for you will never hold a candle to the love I have for John Junior.”

Mothers are also hol … ⌘ Read more

Big Red Bus
“Hi guys, don’t forget to donate today!” says the lady with the oneblood.org t-shirt. The Big Red Bus parks on campus often, sometimes they seem to be here every day. “We’ll give you a t-shirt and a cookie!” She says. That’s the price of your donation, but is it?

Never-ending homework
Ever since Kent started the 9th grade he has been having to do an unusual amount, and I mean really unusual, of homework. I might be getting too old, but I do not recall having to do that much, so early into high school. It is really messing up his sleeping schedule, and–kind of–mine.

Going to sleep really late each day, and waking up when sun still sleeps is wearing me out too. ⌘ Read more

On braces
This is mainly for our records. Today Kent got his braces on, and thus it begins a few months of uncomfortable chewing, special diet, fastidious brushing and everything else that comes with braces.

Now I must go to sell some blood, and place one of my kidneys for sale on the black market. ⌘ Read more
