Balloon rocket
Feb 3rd
Yesterday, I spent the day with my daughter at her preschool class helping out with the kids. She was excited to bring daddy to school.
The day had a space theme and the kids had fun learning about rockets and space shuttles. On of the activities the teacher had setup for them was a balloon rocket that the kids could blow up and shoot from one side of the room to the other.
Each kid also received a balloon rocket kit to take home. My daughter loved this. We had to go home and setup her rocket in the living room.
If you have a preschool aged child, they’ll love the balloon rocket.
Some bad news
Jan 20th
Today I found out that a good friend’s father passed away yesterday. He was a very intelligent and respected man in the town where I grew up and went to school. I had spent many a day hanging out at his house with his son through high school and after. The world is a little darker without the bright shining light that was Ed Crow. He will be missed…

The Barack Obama Action Figure
Jan 29th
Yesterday I went into my local comic store and was presented with a display of Obama Action Figures along with the issue of Spider-Man comic that features our newly elected president.
My first response was shock. I could not believe the powers that be are creating toys of this guy. I mean WTF happened to this country? First, we have a news show with a huge wall mural containing 44 portraits of Barack Obama, and new they are making toys of him and saying he’s “the closest thing we’ve ever seen to a superhero… “
This is absurd and just plain weird and I’m not saying that because I didn’t vote for the guy. If I saw a news program with a mural of George W. Bush as their background, I would be think the same thing. What happened to being unbiased? Obama is the first black president, and I don’t think that accomplishment should be taken away from him, but that doesn’t mean we should treat him like he’s the second coming of Jesus Christ either.
