trackback []

Two child-maturity milestones in one night. For the first time, we left the kids alone, briefly, while we walked around the neighborhood. They did fine of course. Even handled a religious solicitor with aplomb (my Mom's in the shower right now). Also, we negotiated a reasonable bedtime with the kids, and in exchange for letting them play out later than normal, challenged them to get themselves in bed in time, which they did. Progress! 9:26:38 PM    comment []

Ford Focus Mini-Review I've had my 2005 Ford Focus for 3 months and 3000 miles now, and it is time for a mini-review. I have a pretty loaded ZX4 SES. All it doesn't have is moon roof, weather package, audiophile package and leather seats. No point re-capitulating the basics (see Edmunds) in detail. It is a fun, well-assembled, well-thought small car. On to my particular observations, which in the nature of criticism, are slightly weigted to the negative. That could be misleading, I'm quite happy with the car. 8:55:58 PM    comment []
