Coming Soon…Tintin!

tintin My friend Jay, knowing that my six-year-old loves all things Tintin, sent me a link to this news story announcing that none other than _Steven Spielberg_ is gearing up to bring the redheaded boy detective to the big screen. My brother-in-law has always thought that _The Red Sea Sharks_ would make an excellent Bond-like action flick (should Mr. S. be trying to decide which book to start with).

I’ve only started getting into Tintin since my son took a great interest in the stories. It used to be that every time we popped into Pages Books, he’d ask for yet _another_ of the books, which he’d go home and read within a day or so. It’s getting to the point that the only Tintin item in the store we don’t (yet) have is the cool rocketship display stand. Thanks to Captain Haddock, he now understands what “drunk” means!

The Big Snip

big snipRecently, over at Dethroner (where every man is king), the theme for the week was fatherhood. Seeing as we’ve recently had our second (and last) child, I’ve decided to go for the big snip. In the spirit of fatherhood week, I decided to contribute a piece on the subject of the impending vasectomy.

Safe to say, I’ll be stocking up on bags of frozen peas and corn in the near future.
