We moved pintglass.org to a new web host today. The old one finally got on our nerves enough that we moved to Dreamhost, which is dreamy.

Maybe I’ll blog again someday.

Tru got to stay up for New Year’s Eve, so to kill some time we messed around with stop motion animations. Have a look!

My (very sweet) sister-in-law, with whom I apparently disagree mightily about both politics and religion, has a nice post-election blog posting.

I considered responding with a blog post of my own, but ended up just dropping a comment in on her post. My comment is so long I probably should’ve made it into it’s own post. Whatever. Feel free to yell at me either here or there.

I looked for a McCain-based version to do an apples to apples comparison, but it doesn’t appear that they’ve put one out. If you know of a McCain branded calculator similar to this, let me know and I’ll slap it up here too.

I’ve been up King’s Mountain before. This time though, I went with an old friend, Del, and Truman (and Frodo). We took it slow, but it was super fun, and Tru did great!

Truman wanted to carry my Camelbak for a while, so he carried it from just below the summit ridge up to the summit. Then he kept it on all the way down to the car. I think the weight made it a little tough for him on some of the descents, since he kept sliding, slipping and falling. But he had a really great attitude the whole time. It would’ve been easy to get grumpy, since we walked for a total of 4.5 hours, and experienced lots of weather from warm forest to chilly rain and fog at the summit. But he was a champ the whole time.

Asher had his second soccer “game” today. I missed the first one, but it sounded like he had a lot of fun. This time, not so much. I took this little movie with my phone on the field.

How can I not post this?
