Wil - I know you are half a world away, but I saw this and immediately thought of you.
In case you haven't seen it yet, it's hilarious and brilliant!
Please let the world know that you are also a CCOKC! (and not a dick)

Greetings from Australia!
Greetings from Australia! I've been here for something like four days (I say "something like" because the time travel thing that happens when you cross the International Date Line is still confusing me), and I just love it. Anne and I are in Melbourne, which I've found to be an absoulutely wonder...
A valuable life lesson indeed. What a great experience for her to have learned from!
I know this is not the first time I've said this, and probably won't be the last, but the closer Elsa grows to the age when I met you, the more I think I'm just looking at pictures of you from back then. It's marvelous and always makes me smile :).
some pushing involved
A few years ago we signed Elsa up for a short season of rec soccer, which involved a 45min practice, right before a 45min game at the local park on Saturday Mornings. She showed her stuff, so we looked for something a little more involved. The other option was a competitive travel team with ga...
Your daughter is breathtaking. And so much like you, it seems.
I am not a crafter (knitting only), but have just inherited a whole whack of felt in various colors. It made me think of you :). Wishing I lived close enough to pass it along.
in the workshop.......
Elsa made these today, (very much Joel inspired) as a christmas gift for Cyrus who can't stop drawing his family.
In that carrot picture she looks SO. MUCH. LIKE YOU.
Warms my heart :).
garden update
Can't complain.
Mmm! They look delicious! I've never gotten to make them with fresh grape leaves, only jarred.
foraging on
My yard is covered in grape leaves, and how can I look past free veggies? Turks just love stuffing things. These were my favorite as a kids, and my mother and grandmother and I would sit around stuffing them. It's sort of a social thing. I was glad to have Elsa to help. I simmered the grape...
Oh, Suna. I am so, so sorry. I did not know your father well, but I remember him as someone with an easy smile and a warm presence, much like my own dad.
I know how hard this is. But I can tell you from experience that it will get easier with time. The time will come when thinking of him will be characterized more by your warm memories than by the pain and injustice of losing him too early. And, sucky is it is, you will be stronger for having gone through it. Maybe all that is small comfort now, but it's something.
If you want to talk, cry, wallow or not wallow, anything, I’m here. Much love to you, my old friend.
my baba
I always felt lucky to be a piece in his family. He was such a loving, attentive, available, and generous father. He supported me in every twist and turn along the way. He gave me the gift of music, the passion for fine food and wine, and his awe of nature and flowers seem...
Beautiful, broken camera or not. :)
the family that broke the camera
Well, my camera is broken :( My husband bought me a flexible tripod for Christmas and here is our first attempt at a family portrait. The sad part of this photo is that the tripod tipped and my camera is at the camera hospital for about a week. I have been thinking about this blog lately, ...
I'm just gonna hedge my bets and say you're writing something TV-related. An episode of something or other. Yeah.
Streetlight explanation is here, Kevin: http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2007/02/there_are_four_.html
any colour you like
Anne and I took the kids up to Ventura yesterday, where we met my sister and my parents for a day at the beach. What follows are some of the benefits of living in Southern California. I'm grateful I got the day off at the beach with the people I love most in this world, because today I'm s...

I don't fancy myself a space geek, but that is pretty damn beautiful.
Incidentally, this one looks to me like some mysterious anomaly the Enterprise would encounter... :) : http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_731.html
The Prometheus Plume
"Two sulfurous eruptions are visible on Jupiter's volcanic moon Io in this color composite image from the robotic Galileo spacecraft that orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003. At the image top, over Io's limb, a bluish plume rises about 140 kilometers above the surface of a volcanic caldera kno...

Is it weird that when I recently caught Stand By Me on TV and heard the voiceover, my first thought was, "Hey! That's not what Grown Up Wil sounds like! Why didn't they just use his real voice!??"
In my defense, it was late and I was pretty tired...
(Though now I think it would actually be kinda fascinating to see a re-cut version with Dreyfuss edited out and you playing Grown Up Gordie.)
try at working out chaotic things
Today is WWdN's fifth birthday. To celebrate, I break my self-imposed week-long silence and offer the following scene from my living room, last night: Anne and I played Scene It? which is an insanely fun game in the style of Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture Edition, Cranium, etc. One of ...
