Samantha, painting a picture of a rainbow for Sedona.

I’m about halfway through Lisa Brennan-Jobs memoir, Small Fry, and Steve Jobs was pretty much exactly the type of father you’d think he was. That’s not a compliment. 📕

Today, Samantha got 4 new games in the mail. I think she now has roughly 30 board games which means we may have gone overboard.

My two favorite people are decorating my cast.#

My foot, three weeks after surgery, six and a half months after my accident.

Reason #37 I love working from home: Shirts like this would be frowned upon in any office.

My favorite video of all-time. It’s the best of Bruce’s love songs, full of cynicism, and none of the romanticism of his early days. 🎵 Bruce hates lip syncing so the vocal is live. The camera slowly pans in through the entire video until it’s only his face in the frame.

Nothing gets Samantha more tickled than talking to her birth sister.

If the unicorn needs a shot, Dr. Samantha is ready.

Samantha and her favorite book.

This is what Sam looks like when she’s in a good mood in the morning.

Samantha is cutting penguin pictures for her pre-school homework this week.

Homemade Alfredo sauce sort of made by Samantha.

You too can follow Sam on her obstacle course.

I just watched a few videos of Malcom Gladwell that a friend recommended and I can’t decide if I’m a cynic or he’s an idiot?

There have been a lot of birds in our area lately. Every evening, when my wife and daughter get home, Sam wants to sit and watch. My wife got a picture of her today.

She has the greatest laugh in the world.

Missing you Grandma!

It’s been 10 years since we lost my Grandma on New Years Eve, just before her 91st birthday. Maybe it’s my general mood, but I’m feeling her loss heavily this year. This is a picture of her clowning around with my wife. Imagine how much fun she would have had with Samantha.
