I use the term dinner loosley.

We are going to hold Ethan’s birthday party there. The place is awesome and luckily Ethan loved it.

I didn’t have a camera with me other than the iPhone … And the only time Ethan himself stood still long enough for a picture was when he was on a machine that was moving.

Here are a few shots of just such an occasion via the iPhone’s humble camera.

Sometimes I build a castle for Ethan to discover in the mornings. (out of his blocks)

He always rounds the corner into the family room and as he sees the castle he stops cold ad gasps! Then screams “whoa!!”

He runs up to it … stops and looks at it for ten seconds… Then destroys it.

It’s fun.

I had the thought to take a pic of the castle one night.

Here is Castle Meade.
It never lasts long … But it keeps coming back. The barbarian hordes can’t truly defeat king Daddy!

Now Daddy needs a Harley too …

It’s also my first post to multiple sites from one post. I’ve installed a few plugins that will help me keep several sites running.

We’ll see how it goes.
Not sure if the iPhone post will keep all me line breaks and stuff.

I’m also going to be using fewer categories for posts. This will be an adjustment but in the long run it will be more efficient.

I will try to pick up the slack with the thoughtful use of tags.

All for now … Next test will try to add a picture.

Stay tuned!

I’m just finishing the late night feeding.
Will post more when I have more sleep

Truth be told I’ve probably undone all my progress.

It’s too damned easy to get out of the routine.
Probably because it’s anything but routine.

I need to re-evaluate and find a way to eat right as a part of my NORMAL patters.
Even when business travel puts me in airports for days at a time as it has recently.

I need to buckle down and get an exercise routine in place.

I had a kick boxing thing for awhile - but once Jana had to go back to work (in the evenings) after ethan was born it just wasn’t possible to consistently have the evenings free to make the classes.

That’s too bad because it was a lot of fun.
And FUN was key to making me consistent.

Stay tuned as I think about how to get such things in place.

it refuses to put my posts in the “The-Diet” group despite my tagging of my posts in the appropriate manner.
The Elitist bastard of an application is determined to keep my OUT of the social support group.

I hope you like my latest tag Technorati.

This was a hard week.
I traveled a lot for business and ended up eating poorly.
For about two and half days the only times I had to eat were before the next plane boarded.
So fast food was in the equation this week.

But although I was eating poorly - I wasn’t eating much.

Here are the numbers.
