Tonight I’ve been getting paperwork done for Adam to start attending Talmud Torah at the synagogue. I’ve also been working on our membership papers.
In addition, I’ve been working on, well rendering, a Star Wars-esque movie for Adam’s birthday. When it’s done I’ll post it here. We’re going to go see The Clone Wars for his birthday.
Today we took him to a local fire house to check out the truck and see what the firemen do. We had a good time. You can check out pictures here if you want to. This was a great trip. If you have kids you have to take them to a fire house. The firemen are great and more than willing to help out and show the kids around. They also got some cool toys.
Best of all, it reminded me of some very important safety things to teach the kids. Tonight we had fire drills, showed them how to get out of a room with smoke and check a door to see if it’s hot. We had a blast.
On a totally unrelated note, the boys were driving us nuts going to bed. It was taking them about an hour to finally get to sleep. Friday night after an hour I got them up to clean their rooms. Adam cried like he was being beaten. 15 minutes later they were ready for bed and went out.
Tonight they did it once and cleaned for 10 minutes. After that… out like lights. Easiest they’ve been to bed in forever. I’m so proud of myself.

I especially enjoy the Male/Female Hour. This is essentially male apologetics. He has an incredible gift of communicating the male’s nature in plain terms that make sense. For instance, men aren’t psychics and can’t read their wife’s or girlfriend’s mind. Or we’re not perverts for looking at other women—we’re men and we’re made to look.
It’s really good stuff. He’s a really smart guy, not insulting, and really entertaining to listen to. I’m not big on podcasts, but he’s lasted a week, so I’m pretty happy with it.
He’s also Jewish, so if you’re a member of the Tribe, hook a brother up.
A soldier meets a pirate in a bar, and the talk turns to their adventures. The soldier notes that the pirate has a peg leg, a hook and an eye patch.
“How did you end up with a peg leg?” he asks.
The pirate replies, “I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. As my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off.”
“Wow!” says the soldier. “What about your hook?”
“Well,” answers the pirate, “we were boarding a ship when one of the enemy hacked off my hand.”
“Incredible. How’d you get the eye patch?”
“A grapefruit squirted in my eye,” the pirate replies.
“You lost your eye to grapefruit juice?”
“Well,” says the pirate, “it was my first day with the new hook.”
