TV watching is serious business
This is Toren’s favorite way to watch the magic box, which he takes very seriously:

cousin Itt at Fort de Soto
Even though the weather was quite nice while we were at Fort de Soto, the light wind and bright light was too distracting for Toren when it came time to eat. So, Debi improvised (the towel) and I accessorized (the hat): I couldn’t help but think of Cousin Itt, from the Addams Family: I was…

Toren at the beach – comic version
While Rosemary (Debi’s mother) was here, we went out to Fort de Soto beach. As luck would have it, we arrived amidst storms all around the beach and stayed for a couple of hours without getting rained on. Just as we left, the rain hit (you can see the clouds in the background). I have…

WWI
You may be thinking, “What is Ryan doing posting about WWI? What does he know about WWI?” And if that was what you were thinking, you’d be right – I don’t know anything about WWI. But I was a witness to “Woolley War I”. It was brutal: I think Toren lost this battle. But the…

I’m the King of my world!
In case you don’t get the reference, the title is from Titanic. Toren spends a good 20 minutes or so in this position, watching the “magic box” with us at night: Bonus: Can anyone tell what we were watching? If you’ve seen it and you listen close, you may be able to tell that Toren…
