The Ravings of the All Purpose Glox Welcome, Welcome to my den of frothing cappucino foam! When the sedulous All Purpose Glox has a few farthings of time to cast into the wishing well of this site, you will have the opportunity to view life from my two-bit perspective. All Purpose Glox is one of my alter egos picked up from a children's book entitled, "Puck's Peculiar Pet Shop", by author Dean Walley and illustrator Rosalyn Schanzer. I received this pop-up book as a gift when I was four and loved it. It has proved no less attractive to my children as well. As a father who is highly engaged in the rearing of my children, my career, and many other areas too diverse to list in this introduction, I find that I identify with the comically blue, poly-brachiated Glox.

"Glox darns socks, winds clocks, packs boxes. He walks and talks and waxes oxes. Glox picks locks and fixes axes. He can even do your taxes. There are no knacks the Great Glox lacks. The Glox likes letting you relax!" Though I must say that I'm not sure I follow Glox's creedo of letting you relax, I'd like to relax sometimes myself!!!!

I'll post a bunch a various pictures here so you can see snapshots of my life, and of those who are important to me. I'm still getting the hang of this blogging thing and I'll probably give you temporal whiplash as I instantly jump from present to various points in the past and back. Hmm... that's kind of how my mind works anyway, kind of all over the place yet simultaneously focused on about 5 general areas (which I won't discuss here). Calm and collected on the outside while internally it's like someone smashed together the library of congress and Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

These are my two little sweeties, Rowan and Holly. This is a 2004 picture but I like it a lot.

Even more handcrafted gifts. Mommy basking in the love of her little ones this mother's day. If the date and time stamps look off on some of these posts, it's because I'm still figuring this blog posting thing off and I just switch times and dates on the posts to make them appear in the order I want.

Lo kicked back and read a book all day, after arising at 10:30 am. The kids had also put together a singing trampoline acrobatics mother's day routine. I had to keep them going out and practicing it at 6:45 am. They kept arguing with me about it until I told them that they would wake their mother up if they practiced that early, and what kind of mother's day gift would that be afterall. So, they waited until she got up to go practice it. They've actually been working on it all week. Tonight, I prepared a nice dinner tonight for my wife, kids and parents, consisting of steak, sauteed fresh asparagus, a specially requested diced & seasoned red potato dish, fresh salad with ginger dressing (I bought that), and sushi for an appetizer (I also bought that as Lo had specifically requested sushi). I did the whole chilled glasses, chilled salad bowls, and other little details. Actually, it wasn't that big a deal as I do most of the cooking anyway. The biggest thing for Lo was that I didn't try to draft her into helping me do any of the house stuff and I intervened with the kids whenever they started "going off" before they could disturb her. My mom also seems to really enjoy my cooking. Happy Mother's Day All!Posted by Picasa
