Kids are great! We get so much joy every day being with our 2.5 year old daughter. I know I’m biased, but she really is one of the funniest kids I’ve ever met. She has the best sense of humor (I give her mom full credit for that), and she takes pleasure in doing and saying funny things to make us laugh.

She’s also quite affectionate, and as any dad can tell you, there’s not much better than getting a hug, kiss, and “I love you, Daddy” from your daughter. (One of those things that’s better is getting a hug, kiss, and “I love you Hubby” from your wife)

But the BEST part about kids is that when they get old enough, you can put them to work!!

I’d say 2 and a half is old enough to start mowing, and I figure that over the next few weeks we can add in the dishes, laundry, mopping the floors and splitting wood for our campfires.

It’s a really good that that when I’m at home I’ve got a wonderful wife to talk some sense into me when I get too focused on something. The last two nights here at the conference, I’ve found that I get wrapped up in making something big happen, and I forget to go to bed. I really REALLY didn’t intend to stay up late tonight after staying up too late last night. Here it is, 2:40 in the AM and I just realized how late it really was, that I’m hungry, and I’ll be getting very little sleep again tonight. The good news is, my part of this project is nearing completion!

There…I just took a picture of my very sleepy self on my phone and emailed it to myself. Now to insert it in this post…. aren’t you all so very glad I took the time to do that before going to bed?

It’s a viscous cycle isn’t it? I realize I’m up too late, so I write about being up too late, which keeps me up even later. Ok, now i’m just rambling, It’s 2:49 am.

good nightttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

just because I can. thanks, matt p., for the sweet hook-upz on my HTC Mogul, and thanks for taking care of Daryl’s phone problems today too.
