This post isn’t really an update on the Wilsons. It’s just interesting music geneology that struck me this week. Bob/Johnny As in “Dylan” and “Cash.” The former was a major star in 1965 when he didn’t notice the janitor emptying ashtrays in the recording studio he was workin in. The latter recorded that janitor’s first […]

Ok -the directions Tim typed up for me so I could post to this blog are apparently dangerous in my hands, as I cannot seem to stop myself. You see, while looking at the pictures of Carson, I thought I would see what struck me as other good comparison pictures. So as not to unfairly […]

This post came about after I browsed through a few pictures on our computer. When I saw this picture of Carson, I was struck by how much the features he had as a baby (aged 15 months) are still so prevelant in his pictures at age 5 and a half years. Carson – March 2003 […]

Well, after promising Carson for over a month that I would sign him up, I managed to take him to his first Tae Kwon Do class last night. It was at the Dublin Recreation center, so a relatively low-key class and a good place to try it out. The classes officially started last week, so […]
