One of my favorite post-holiday traditions is reading Dave Barry's annual recap of the previous year's news events...

OK, I will admit - we followed a few of these traditions at our house... I'm not saying which ones, though.

From Coleman Cox (in 1922):
"Never dispute the woman who says she has a model husband. Webster's Dictionary says a model is a small imitation of the real thing."

I'm not sure what it is, but there's something cool about the street names in this tiny town outside of Eindhoven in the Netherlands... I can't quite put my finger on it...

Some people I know should read this... not that I'm naming any names, of course.

My friend and fellow cycling enthusiast Keith shared the following security camera footage from the good folks at Woodinville Bicycle which captures the hilarious antics of a would-be thief attempting to steal a bicycle... I think we have a future Darwin Award recipient in the making.

There was a brief period when all three of our adult children were living with my wife and me in Seattle. Our youngest was starting college, our middlest had just returned from a year living in Peru, and our oldest had relocated from Texas to Washington following her graduation from college.
Things are different now; our children have all left home, married, and started lives of their own.
However, when I was recently going through several folders on my computer with collections of old files, I discovered a Word document with a note that I had typed up for my children during that short boomerang season when they were living with my wife and me as adults.
Notice to Everyone in this Household:
- You will wash your own dishes immediately after you are done with them.
- If you have friends over, you will wash their dishes immediately after they are done with them.
- You will carry any dishes from your room (or your car, or wherever) back to the kitchen immediately after you are done with them.
- If the dishes in the dishwasher have not been run, you will put your own dishes in the dishwasher.
Contrary to Popular Belief:
- It will not hurt you to periodically empty the dishwasher as a favor for the dish person.
- It will not hurt you to periodically cook dinner.
Do you think this note this made any difference in their behavior?
