My family and I had a great day today. It was everything I wanted in a weekend day — relaxing, fun, bonding, and productive. I think it was the first weekend day in a long time, when I felt relaxed despite staying home all day with kids. Usually I brace myself for [...]

Lyrical Excerpt:
Took all this time to grow up
Is it a time to weave a cocoon?

I don’t know when it started. I can blame it on my parents — they should’ve punished me when they knew that I was playing video games way longer than the limits they imposed, behind their backs.

First of all, I had no idea that a cartoon of the same title existed until recently. The song was written right around the same time as the cartoon, but there is absolute no connection.
Darn. I thought it was a catchy title. Apparently somebody else was smart, also.

This weekend, my family and I attended the Family Day at Minneapolis Institute of Arts. It was a very well-put-together event by an apparently extremely well-run institution. A huge, gorgeous museum, a home to hundreds of valuable pieces, free and open to public everyday. I’d like to get acquainted with the member [...]
