Late on Thursday, OWTK will begin a Children’s Music Review Tournament that will last for a couple weeks. I have compiled a field of twelve new/newish releases that will be pitted against each other along with brief reviews and a song or video sample (if available) of each. Oh, there’s also...

The Bear’s birthday will be observed officially this Saturday evening at my folks’ house. The “event” will piggyback onto our family’s Easter feast. We ordered a pair of 7″ cakes from a cool little mom-n-pop bakery on the Main Line with instructions to decorate...

The Mouse has spent the last 16 hours marking her territory all about the house (and the left side of my favorite red shirt). The poor gal will celebrate her 9 month birthday today with a nasty stomach bug but the funny thing is that she couldn’t be happier…when not upchucking – the...

The Bear turns 4 (holy crap!) this coming Sunday. We wanted so badly to have her party at World Cafe Live on 3/16 for the Justin Roberts show but it would wind up costing close to $600 which is flat-out insane. Then we looked for something else original and fun (renting out a small movie house and showing...
