This week is a bittersweet week for me. On Wednesday night, I went out to a bar with a bunch of colleagues to watch the Phillies win the World Series, which was awesome. But the real reason for the outing was a farewell to the CTO and founder of our company as he was resigning and Thursday was his last day with the company. So I find myself sitting here on Halloween, on the day of the celebration parade for the World Series win, on a day that I will be getting a catered lunch and get to leave early to take the kids trick-or-treating, in a rather ho-hum mood.

Shameless Plug
I am obligated by love and devotion to post this shameless plug of my wife’s work being published: http://blissfullydomestic.com/photo-bliss/get-the-correct-exposure/. When she isn’t raising our children, writing on her blog, or chatting on Twitter, she is also working on her hobby as a photographer. As the kids get older or work becomes available, she plans to go pro. So please check her out (her photography, that is).

We both know who we plan to vote for come November … as does our 4-year-old daughter. Read more “Partisan Parenting”
Appropriate Voting Age: 4?
In this political season, my wife has made a point to keep our 4 1/2 year-old daughter abreast of the high-level details – she is aware that we are soon voting for a new president; she knows who the candidates are; she even has some opinions of her own about what qualities a good president should have (in her words, a president should be able to do anything a mommy can do). We are unapologietically liberally slanted and are pretty confident in where our votes will be going in November. Read more “Appropriate Voting Age: 4?”
