Zoodles: The Greatest App For Kids (And Parents)
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while. For the past year, Gus and I have had one heck of time exploring a ‘kid-safe’ tablet application called Zoodles. We’ve watched Elmo dance and sing, Jason Mraz on YouTube.com and even interacted with puzzles, games and drawings. Zoodles is a smart idea. The builders [...]

Monkey Joe’s: Welcome to The Jungle
I am often reminded about my childhood when I see Gus blend into the masses at Monkey Joe’s. There is freedom in numbers while I watch him interact with no name children of his own age. He has a good nature as he navigates and watches the others jump from moon bounce to big slide. [...]

I wonder the ratio of actual purchaser to browsing parent with kid. It should be very high seeing how in one Saturday morning we ‘crashed’ several legitimate businesses to just hang out and check out the people. Gus and I are avid people watchers. The picture on the left is Gus and I in the [...]
Christmas Parade in Uptown Columbus
What a great morning to spend with Gus and family. The weather was just cold enough to remind us it was winter and Santa Claus was round and jolly. It was a rushed morning as Gus and I hurriedly got things together to meet up with Jon and Angie Smiley so Gus and their son [...]
Visit to the Coca Cola Space Science Center
What a great time for us! I hadn’t been to the Coca Cola Space Science Center in many years and it was good to see Gus attach to just about everything including the remote controlled space dump trucks and just about every button he could see. We tried to sit through the Omnisphere experience and [...]
