Show Notes
- Nuketown News
- The First Tooth
- Jordan lost her first tooth. Whoa.
- Reading the Magician's Nephew
- After watching The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Jordan decided she wanted to read the books. So we're starting with the first one, the Magician's Nephew (which is actually a prequel, having been written sixth, but we're going chronologically.
- Baseball Season
- It's spring, which means Sue and the kids can spend the day outside in the yard, digging in the dirt ... and I can spend the occasional night watching the Mets.
- DVR means my chances of watching a game have gone up significantly (since the game may start at 7, and I can give the kids a bath, read them a book or two and start watching around 8:30).
- Gonna be a great summer for baseball. IronPigs AAA Phillies affiliate is now playing in Allentown, and I hope to catch a game or three (at least one with Jordan).
- Also going to Shea Stadium to see a Mets night game on 7/9. It's been 20 years since I was last at Shea; this time I'm getting decent seats, and watching under the lights. It's gonna rule.
- Might also try and catch a Mets game in Philly, and maybe a Yankees game at Camden Yards; we'll see how that goes.
- Comments Galore on Nuketown
- Conversation on Nuketown has really taken off since I opened up commenting to those without accounts. Haven't done per-day tally, but there have easily been 30 comments since I opened things up. Which is probably as many as I saw in the previosu six months on the site.
- Jordie & Star Wars
- The Harry Potter vs. Star Wars scariness debate continues on the site.
