BigFrog Gets Results

Back in January 2003, BigFrog reported the CD price fixing settlement. Were you proactive? Did you fill out the settlement form? If so, you should be getting this in the mail like I did.

THIRTEEN DOLLARS AND 86/100 is not much these days, but it's enough for a value priced CD. And what do you know... if history repeats that may just be enough to get you qualified to collect in the next CD price fixing conspiracy settlement.

You Know You're Getting Old

You know you're getting old when the only hair you have to brush out of your eyes is from your eyebrows. :-)

Best Wrong Number Ever

My cell phone rings with an unknown number:
me: Hello? This is Steve.
girl's voice: Umm, is this a tattoo parlor?

Mindless Abandon

Now that I've completely stopped watching news on television, I've embraced a number of new shows for pure, mindless bliss. And while the news was entertaining, I'm much more entertained with following: * American Idol (you can't sing) * Apprentice (you're fired) * Fear Factor (never during dinner) * L-Word (L is for lick)

Putting Your Children to Work, Part 2

Mother's rejoice. In the original putting your child to work entry, I described how you can get your three year old to feed your infant. Now, just 9 months later, I show how you can get your twenty-month old to wash the dishes.

California Winter

[http://www.bigfrog.net/archives/IMG_4386.jpg | http://www.bigfrog.net/gallery/cawinter] It's February, and 70^0F in Malibu. Time for the beach. Katherine made a friend on her own -- I usually have to introduce her to the child in question (hi, this is my daughter Katherine and she wants to play with you). I think she would have been swimming if we brought her bathing suit. Vince is getting older and braver -- stood in the water on his own. Also getting to be like his dad ... his new phrase is %I don't know%. See [more pictures | http://www.bigfrog.net/gallery/cawinter] in the [Photo Gallery | http://www.bigfrog.net/gallery/].
