Komen Race for the Cure - This Weekend!

Hi guys. As you all know, Berit and I walked the Susan G. Komen 5K Race for the Cure last year and raised $500 to help cure breast cancer. This year, our whole family is doing the Race, and it happens on Sunday!

We'd love it if you could support us at any level at all ($5 or $10?). This year we're walking in honor of Kersten, Pam's best friend, who along with pam beat breast cancer, only to die tragically in a car accident.

Please go to my or Pam's race page to read more:

You can go straight to the kids' pages and make a donation to support them in the walk at these links:

The Average Family

The other night, after an average day of head-butting with children, Berit brightly announced that she’d heard that the average family has 2000 arguments a year. I thought about this for a moment, trying to wrap my head around why this was necessarily revelatory or good news for us.

“Yeah? So? We probably have 2000 arguments a year.”

“Right,” Berit beamed. “So we’re average!”

Out of the loop.

As part of my morning commute I take Berit and her two friends to high school. This morning, as we’re passing the city bus, one of the friends blurts out, “oh my god.”

“What?” asks the other friend.

Pause.

“I’ll text it to you. I’ll text you too, Berit.”

Flowers.

Griffin engineered these.
