Ron Paul for Pres..

I can only hope that Ron Paul can get better recognized and get the republican nomination. I'd actually vote for a big party if he got in. But really he's a libertarian taking an old Republic stance of small government.

I like bill Maher and he can usually handle himself in a debate but Ron Paul totally destroys Maher in this interview. Best he can do is keep saying "against the civil war" but Ron Paul points out that the Civil war had very little to do with slavery.

CERT Disaster Training

What you are looking at here is not BBQs gone wild. Its serious distaster training in progress at the down town fire department. Vanessa, myself and many friends are taking a disaster training course sponsered by FEMA so that we will be valuable to ourselves and our community in the aftermath of a disaster such as an Earth quake or major terrorist attack.

After we graduate from the course we will receive a Disaster pre-paredness backpack and be on some kind of reverse 911 emergency assistance list.

The Price is Right

With the recent retirement of Bob Barker I thought I would share my appearance on TPIR for those that missed the airing.

Donovan Pretends

Shortly after Donovan's Birthday we got this little gem videoed.

Donovan Turns 3!

After Filling up 300 balloons we got Donovan's 3rd birthday party started. He had a great time playing with the other kids and finally getting his "Thomas the" Train birthday cake. Several days earlier Donovan had been claiming it was his birthday. We finally had him understanding his birthday is June 1st and that he was turning 3 years old. Vanessa came up with some good games for the kids including pin the number 1 on Thomas, finding Gummy Bears in a bunch of wet pasta, finding marshmellows in flower, and a pinata. Donovan and the kids enjoyed all the bubble toys and then we let the kids release most of the balloons into the night sky. By the end of the night Donovan just conked out while trying to stay up to watch more Thomas the Train on TV.
