Poems for Julia

Fun at the movies

With the re-release of Beauty and the Beast, or as we call it at our house… BATB, we had a few moments to snap a few pics with the Lorax, the Chipmunks and Pirates.

If you haven’t seen BATB, it’s pretty good, I think it may stick around for a bit.

What if every politician read Dr. Seuss’ The Zax?

What if it were mandatory for every politician to write a book report on Dr. Seuss’ The Zax?… weekly!

He was a friend of mine. A tribute to Tom.

One of my favorite people and best friends of all time. Tom Lehmann.

A magnificent person, who’s never forgotten. When he passed away it was so sad, but there are so many who can’t stop and probably will never stop telling stories about him.

So loved that his friends wrote songs (see below, I also have a song of my own about Tom written many moons ago).

So loved that the special needs apartment complex he dreamed, gained support for, fought for, and lived in, renamed their complex “Lehmann Gardens.”

So loved that his friends created a site to remember him by. http://www.tomforever.com/

Below is a beautiful song by Joe McKay, a friend who happens to be a top-notch songwriter.

Enjoy!

Of course that is why she likes Scooby Doo

Julia and I were watching Scooby Doo tonight, she loves Scooby Doo. So I asked her, “hey sweetie, why do you like Scooby Doo so much?” Keep in mind that we have seen the wax phantom episode every day this week.

Now, when I asked this I expected her normal… “I don’t know”… or maybe “because it’s scary”… or “Scooby is so funny.” What I hadn’t expected was for Julia to look at me and without any hesitation say, “because dad, there are two girls.”

Duh, it was right in front of me the whole time. A show that looks and feels like a show that was targeted at boys, but has two girls.

The Poem “Secret to the Fulfilled Life (cold side of the pillow)” is now on the site

Secret to the Fulfilled Life (cold side of the pillow) has just been added to the site. I know, that’s some title – not really brief. Well it’s a different type of poem. This poem is really more for adults, but it is absolutely appropriate and an excellent lesson for kids.

To date it’s one of my favorites. I think because it walks through some of my own experiences and it also highlights one of my core philosophies – appreciate what you have.

Princess Me
I was stuck on this plane on the way to St. Louis when I got on a poem writing kick. I found myself writing a bunch of new ones and even updating a few oldies. Here is a new and improved, twice as long, Princess Me.
