Word Explosion
Posted on September 7, 2007 - Filed Under Kids | Leave a Comment
I read ages ago that little kids go through stages where they learn heaps of words in a very short time. I didn´t know how true it was, since Dorian has always learned pretty steadily. Also, he has two languages being thrown at him, so it wouldn´t be surprising if he was a bit off [...]
So Much for Big Scary Felix
Posted on September 6, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | 2 Comments
Hurricane Felix arrived last night, supposedly. I slept. We had a little rain, no wind and certainly no sign that a hurricane was closing in. Whew. I´m very relieved. Only a few more months to go before the hurricane season is done with!
Huh? What? Thursday?

Boy, did this week disappear on me! I missed the whole thing. It just vanished into thin air and I feel like I´ve gone from Sunday to Thursday without any days in between.
So, I missed Wordless Wednesday and I´m just going to toss up a Thursday Thirteen here below . . . but I suspect [...]

Yesterday, Dorian went on a mouse hunt. See, we have this little grey fieldmouse that has been pit-pattering around here for a week or so, but yesterday was the first time he actually saw it.
I frequently point out that the mouse has just run by, but I don´t think Dorian really understood what a [...]

They are predicting that Felix will hit us sometime tomorrow. Unlike Dean, this one is heading right for us. We have been watching on the tv for the past few hours as they evacuate people in Honduras and Nicaragua. Scary stuff!
Anyway, we are battening down the hatches here. Antigua shouldn´t get too bad, but the [...]
Of Lack of Internet and Happy Labor Days

In the US, it´s Labor Day today (notice I even spelled that the American way?). I don´t really know what you do on Labor Day, all I know is that you don´t actually labor, which seems a bit odd, but anyway. Each to his own. I know, we have Labour Day in Canada (also spelled [...]
La Banda Vega is on Tour
Posted on September 1, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | 4 Comments
Banda Vega is Irving´s band and they are on tour for 10 days. Doesn´t that sound fancy, like he´s a rock star or something? Well, here in Guatemala, Banda Vega is actually getting pretty famous.
Thankfully, since this country is pretty small and most of the gigs are not that far away, Irving is still [...]
