turn the tv back on, but why?

Sunday night at midnight passed. Kcrazorback daughter was fast asleep--having successfully not watched any TV, or played any video or computer games for an entire week. For this heroic accomplishment, she gets the latest Littlest Pet Shop stuff from mom and dad and a book and an IHOP gift certificate from the school.

Her dedication was incredible. It suprised even those of us who really believe in her and know best what she is capable of. She's a great kid.

Mrs. kcrazorback and I also enjoyed having the TV off every day (although we did sneak in some The Office after junior went to sleep at night).

I'd even say we're enjoying watching her watch the occasional program now that Turn Your TV Off Week is over--knowing that she's not really addicted to it.

Today is Earth Day! Go green. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

ode to no. 5

You already know that one of the best to ever play the game played in Kansas City and wore #5. But George Brett wasn't the only guy.

All 30 MLB teams have retired his #42. But when he played at the highest level in Kansas City, Jackie Robinson wore #5 for the Monarchs.

Today is Jackie Robinson day--players throughout MLB will wear #42 in games today. To educate yourself about the Negro Leagues, start here. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is a local and national treasure.

Never segregate to play.

OK, now that you've considered it, go ahead and give.

You can give here.

sorry

I've gone quiet for a while. (Lucky you.) Anyway, the last couple of weeks haven't been much fun. I'll resume posting some time soon. Although I am thinking about abandoning blogging for Twitter.
