Back seat driving

The trips and I were driving around the other day. Colin said something I didn't quite understand, so I reached my right arm back to the back seat and put my hand on his and asked him to repeat himself. He was about halfway through his sentence when he stopped cold and said rather forcefully, "Dad! Use both hands to drive the car!"
He might look like me, but he gets THAT from his mother. ;)
Kids rock.

Back from the dead... almost...

How time flies! The trips are nearly FIVE years old! (And Trips' Dad just turned 32... as if the way the kids are growing up didn't make me feel old enough!) They're healthy, happy and sweet. They take good care of each other... most of the time... and they are without a doubt the three most beautiful jewels in the crown of my life. And, I'm still very happily dating a lovely young lady named Marissa. What a revelation she has been. She's a real sweetheart. She loves the kiddos, cooks like a champion, has a great singing voice and is a fantastic actress. Not to mention, she never fails to make me laugh - at life AND at myself. I'm a very lucky guy. I'm currently rehearsing for TWO shows at the Hale Centre Theatre in Salt Lake City. "A Christmas Carol" opens on December 2, and "See How They Run" opens on December 30, I think. I'm playing Jacob Marley in "Carol" and Clive in SHTR. Both casts are VERY talented and I can't wait to get going. Things at ABC 4 are busier than ever... we're in the heart of sweeps right now, the quarterly ratings period, and everyone's running around with their hair on fire... which is a convenient reason not to blog so much, sooooo... back to work!
