Visiting DC

My son Tyler is in DC this summer for an internship. We visited him last weekend. This was not my first visit to DC. It was my second. There is alot to see in DC and everytime or both times I have been there, it seems a bit overwhelming. So much to see. And hot. So very hot. We stayed at a great hotel; the Washington Plaza on Thomas Circle. Great out door pool. And great location. In the middle of the city. Walking distance to the Mall, etc. Great restaurants and great pubs. One pub worth mentioning is the Brickskeller. Over one thousand different beers from all over the world. It could not have been better. Tyler found a beer that he had in Buenos Aires. Quilmes. Right there in DC. What a great city.

Summer bugs me

Earwigs are everywhere. They bug me. Earwigs are pretty harmless. Some say that they pinch. I haven't been pinched by an earwig.

Eve of July 8th

Shared b-day for Tyler & Eli (technically not Eli's birthday, but a shared day none the less)

Happy Birthday, Tyler.

Happy 8th month, Eli. Tyler is 22 years old and Eli is 8 months. I hope you both have a great day. Tyler is my son and Eli is my grandson. And 8 is a popular birth day in our family. My mother is born on the 8th. I missed the 8th by one day (what's that say about me...a little off) There are others in my family born on the 8th, but I'll leave that for another day. Any way it's a good day. Happy day. A shared day worth noting. Love, Dad & Grand Dad

4 days with Eli

Just spent 4 days with Eli. He has changed so much. Eli is crawling and pulling himself up on everything. If you stand still too long, he will pull himself up on your leg. Eli will be walking and talking soon. He seems very close to both. He's a very happy baby...toddler. He is easily amused. He plays with his toys with both hands. In short, he is a busy boy.
We went to Old McDonald's Farm in Bever Park and he was thrilled with the animals. He's thrilled with almost anything. He likes mirrors and computer keyboards and necklaces and small pieces of anything on the floor that adults can't see. Eli likes to be outside. There is not much he does not like, except the occasional diaper change. He will not lay still. He flips over and crawls away. So he must be distracted for the event. Eli is a very busy boy.

WEB 2.0

The web became more available to participation.

"Whether Web 2.0 is qualitatively different from prior web technologies has been challenged by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, who called the term a "piece of jargon"[4] — precisely because he specifically intended the Web to embody these values in the first place."

My experience as a new Grandpa. Very foreign term. Like most new things, they become old and comfortable with time. I am certain this is a good thing.
