So I roll into my driveway last night, or rather this morning at 1:30 a.m. returning from my brief business trip to DC.  I’m up at 5:30 because I have a tight deadline that I have to meet today, and I go out to the driveway to get the paper while the coffee’s brewing.  There I find that this little ‘ol blog has been profiled in the Winston-Salem Journal, and it includes a picture of the family.  I’m thinking this is kind of cool and I’ll bet the kids will love seeing their picture in the paper, so I put it on the kitchen counter and get the two olded up at their usual 6 a.m. to get ready for school. (The youngest is at Camp Hanes with the rest of Lewisville’s 5th graders). Here’s what happened:

• Neither one of them noticed the paper on the counter.  They’re pretty much zombies in the morning.
• I pointed out the article to Michael, my 14 year old son, first.  He says "Cool" and goes to get dressed.
• Five minutes later I pointed out the article to Erin, my 13 year old daughter.  She says "Oh my God.  This is so embarassing.  I’m going to be laughed at at school."  Then she packs her stuff up, gives me a kiss and leaves for the bus.
• Michael says "See ya" and runs out the door after her.

That left me with a cup of coffee and the question of whether I’m cool or an embarassment.  Yep, a normal day.

FYI, Kim Underwood from the Journal emailed me some questions for the profile a few weeks ago and asked for a picture.  I wasn’t sure if it would actually make the paper because the other blogs they’ve profiled involve "missions", or in other words they are written by people doing something good for the world.  I was pleasantly surprised to find out he actually ran the profile since this thing is pretty much random thoughts spilling out of my addled brain.  Make sure you check out next week’s Web Sightings since it will feature what I consider the best blog in town, Life in Forsyth.
