Finding the Golden Ticket

Recently Jason posted a blog featuring some tidbits Erma Bombeck left behind before she passed away from cancer. I have reread her thoughts a number of times. It’s almost as if I can’t read it enough. After I read her words I feel like I’ve found the “golden ticket.” It helps me put things in perspective and gives me permission to make sure I am enjoying each moment. …

Look Who’s Talking About Algebraic Number Theories

Here I am sitting with the newest Cabbage Patch Kid prototype...David Letterman's future sidekick...the offspring of Yoda and Elton John...actually, it's John, the son of some good friends and my nephew by proxy. If nothing else, he looks like the world's smartest baby. Cute, ain't he? …

Rock, Paper, Scissors and Decisions

Rock. Paper. Scissors. The ultimate conflict resolution game for kids. You pick rock, your buddy picks paper, and you get to climb the fence to get the errant tennis ball. Did you know that there is an actual Rock, Paper, Scissors International World Championship? Believe it. What about using Rock, Paper, Scissors to help make important life decisions? Stephen Shapiro of GoalFree.com shares a technique he learned from a "creative-type" named Russ Schoen: …

Make a Joyful Noise

This morning started as a normal Sunday morning at church. The opening song was starting as the priest and altar servers were walking down the aisle. As they approached the altar I noticed they had a visitor- a young girl, my guess is 3 1/2 – 4-years-old. She had followed them up on the altar. She was dancing freely to the music with a big grin on her face. She danced and danced for what seemed like minutes, but it was probably only ten seconds. Then she did something that surprised us all! (As if this wasn't surprising enough already!) She went up to the podium and grabbed the microphone, …

Hitchhiker’s Guide to America

Talk about escaping adulthood. May I introduce you to Matt "Fiddy" Fidler and Scotty MacDonald, two recent graduates hitchhiking their way to all 50 state capitals -- in 50 consecutive days or less. Their web site, Hitch50, documents the entire journey. From their own words: Why are we doing this? We both just graduated college and didn't exactly pursue the typical business jobs our classmates were chasing, so we needed something to do. Something fun to do, which involved traveling and meeting people and sharing experiences with them. So... we decided to hitchhike to every state capital, in …

Party Like It’s…

We just completely re-designed the Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand, adding a bunch of new products and features. We wanted to commemorate the occasion, but were left scratching our heads. How exactly do you properly celebrate the grand re-re-re-opening of an online store? We contemplated the idea of showcasing the home page on one of our computers -- one with a big fancy ribbon tied around it. Then we could huddle around the computer for a big, ceremonial, and extremely underwhelming ribbon-cutting ceremony. We settled on a party instead. Confetti was tossed, things were broken, and the cops …

Sincerest Form of Flattery

A few days ago, I received an e-mail containing a photo that represents one of the top highlights of my cartooning career to date. It is a photo of a little boy -- and die-hard Kim & Jason fan -- who has decided to be Frankenstein this Halloween. Joey modeled his look after the costume Jason (the cartoon character) wore in an episode back in 2004.  How cool is that? While I can't guarantee a record setting candy intake for Joey, I can say with certainty that he made my October.P.S. By the way, this isn't the first time Joey has been featured in this blog...[tags]Halloween, Halloween …

escape adulthood?
