    The Obligatory First Post

    November 9, 2007

    It’s impossible to try out different WordPress themes without a post. So here’s the obligatory first post. Making the theme selection even more difficult is that I don’t fully have my head wrapped around the plan for this blog/site. I’m about 90% decided that I don’t want this to replace Small Business SEM. I’ll have another domain replace that. I think I want this for personal/fun stuff, but details are TBD.

    Time for some sample text for the first post, so I can see how various themes handle text formats.

    Here’s an H2 element

    And some text to go with it. Mirum est notare quam littera gothica quam nunc. Nam liber tempor cum soluta nobis eleifend option congue nihil imperdiet? Nunc putamus parum claram anteposuerit, doming id quod mazim placerat facer possim assum Typi non habent claritatem insitam est usus. Nunc nobis videntur parum clari fiant sollemnes in futurum?

    Here’s an H3 element

    Qui facit eorum claritatem Investigationes demonstraverunt lectores legere me lius quod ii. Facer possim assum Typi non habent claritatem insitam est usus? Quinta decima Eodem modo typi qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari. Etiam processus dynamicus qui sequitur, feugait nulla facilisi Nam liber tempor cum soluta.

    Here’s an H4

    Qui facit eorum claritatem Investigationes demonstraverunt lectores legere me lius quod ii. Facer possim assum Typi non habent claritatem insitam est usus? Quinta decima Eodem modo typi qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari. Etiam processus dynamicus qui sequitur, feugait nulla facilisi Nam liber tempor cum soluta.

    How about we do some lists? Great idea!

    • Hello.
    • How are you?
    • What are you doing?

    Okay, now an ordered list.

    1. Hi there.
    2. I’m fine.
    3. Thanks for asking.

    I suppose I should also do a blockquote to see how that looks, right? Let’s see:

    Qui facit eorum claritatem Investigationes demonstraverunt lectores legere me lius quod ii. Facer possim assum Typi non habent claritatem insitam est usus? Quinta decima Eodem modo typi qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari. Etiam processus dynamicus qui sequitur, feugait nulla facilisi Nam liber tempor cum soluta.

    Okay, that should do it for text formatting. Time to get this baby on the Interweb.

    President Daddy!

    December 4, 2005

    “President Daddy! President Daddy!”

    That’s what T started telling this morning when I came out to the family room. Why? It was the first time she’d ever seen me wearing a tie.

    Ten minutes later I asked her, “Why’d you call me ‘President Daddy’?”

    “Because you had that long, hang down thing on.”

    Which, apparently, only presidents wear!

    Happy Day

    March 5, 2005

    As an update to this old post, today marked the first day of 2005 that was warm enough to wear shorts. And wear them I did … to the store, around the house, all day long. Yay!

    Bowling…

    February 20, 2005

    Let the record show that today, February 20, 2005, was T’s first time bowling. And she loved it!

    I would place the ball right at the edge of the lane for her, and she’d give it a little push, which I would quickly push harder so it would reach the pins. It was the cutest thing — she would squat down and watch it go, and if she knocked one over, she’d turn around in a flash and put both arms in the air and yell “I DID IT!!!!!!” I *so* wish I’d brought a camera with me. 🙂

    Meanwhile, I bowled a 156, which amazed me since it’s been 5-10 years since I’ve bowled, and I was never very good to begin with. But in a moment of true “Dad Studness”, as I entered the 10th frame, I went back and whispered in Sean’s ear — “Watch this — three strikes in a row.” And then I went out and did it! Not quite the same as Babe Ruth’s called home run, but as close as I’ll ever get…..

    And here we are, 6 hours later, and my right arm is SORE.
