Teagan came into the office this morning and asked, “what are you listening to, Daddy?”

Me (absentmindedly): An album called Never Mind the Bollocks by the Sex Pistols.
Teagan: What’s a “bollocks”?
Me: Um… (crap) they’re uh, well, it’s another word for cow testicles.
Teagan: You’re listening to music about cow testicles?
Me: Well no. No, in the UK, bollocks is a word used instead of bullshi…it’s a bad word in England. Let’s leave it at that for now, ok?
Teagan: Ok. Seems kind of weird though.

In the media business, we’re not afraid to tackle the tough issues facing America today. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the news.

It’s only 31 °F this morning but that’s not keeping me out of the garden. As far as I’m concerned, it’s Spring. It seems I’m not the only one either. I found this little friend squirming around the radish seedlings that I planted last weekend.

Everything in my spring garden is coming up nicely— lettuce, carrots, cabbage, spinach, radish. Even the garlic, which I thought I’d lose to the winter weather, is beginning to green up and add a few inches to the leaves.

Despite the crushing snow, I think those hoop houses worked out nicely.

Hmm. I see that one of my photos is being used on answerbag.com.

Should I be proud of this or no?

NEA’s Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss.

I spent a few minutes this morning celebrating with my youngest daughter, Ayn, and her classmates at her preschool by reading my favourite Dr. Suess book, Fox in Socks.

I always enjoy reading that to kids. The look on their faces when I read the line about the book being dangerous is always priceless. The school also hooked me up with a great hat like the Cat from Cat in the Hat. I’ve decided to wear it all day today and remind people that reading to children is one of the best activities we can engage in as adults if we want to create lifelong successful readers.

Are you in the market for some silver? If so, have I got a deal for you.

I listed a 100oz Pan American Silver Bar from the Northwest Territorial Mint on eBay this morning. The auction runs for five days or you can buy it now for $1,850.00.
