A couple years ago, my new year's resolution was cheese, jeans and killing...a year in which I would learn to make my own cheese, make my own jeans and learn how to kill a man with my bare hands. The resolution was as whimsical as it was unlikely of success, and none of it came to pass.

May's taken to the new training-wheel bike...in style.

We visited the Fairy Homes on Mackworth Island over the weekend. The two and the five year olds loved it (maybe not quite as much as the thirty-somethings).
