Well, it’s Hallowween 2005, and I’ve been horribly remiss in posting to here, but we’ve done pumpkins again and wanted to get them up and online. It’s definately a Harry Potter Hallowween, as I’m sure you can see… Katie’s Ghost Scene Ellen’s Scholastic Harry Potter Daddy’s Harry Potter Movie Version
some conversation at the dinner table tonight: Katie: Daddy…daddy…daddy! Me:Yes, katie? Katie: Do you want to know what 6+6 is? I know… Me: Ok, what? Katie: It’s 8. and Me: what makes a rocketship go up? Katie: I know! The guys push the buttons and it goes up so people can do business on the…
Ok, so that’s a bit grandiose, but this weekend, the Yankees and the red sox meet at fenway with the Yanks holding a 1 game lead in the A.L. East. Last night, the Yanks came away short, losing 5-3, being hurt by a bad play at 1st by Giambi, and some good pitching by the…
At dinner yesterday with Kim, Kids, and my Dad… Kim: Ellen, are you finished with dinner? Ellen: Yes, can I have desert? Kim: What would you like? Ellen: I’d like my plate cleared. Isn’t that sweet?

Ellen made up a pretty good joke yesterday. There’s a building in New York City called One Penn Plaza, which, coincidentally, is located at one Penn Plaza, on 34th street near Penn Station. I have a client there, and Ellen’s been there a few times and we can see it from my parent’s house in…
A friend of mine told me a knock knock joke today, that I proceeded to tell the kids. The joke: Knock knock. Who’s there? Interrupting Duck. Interruptin… QUACK! Ha Ha.

Today was Katie’s first day of kindergarten and excitement was running high. No fear–that’s Katie’s motto–and, true to form she wandered into school without even looking back…or so I’m told. You see, I was up on the top field waiting, with Ellen, for her new teacher, Ms. Ailey (sp?), to figure out which was was…
