I finally got around to uploading the videos from Noah's second Rock Band Camp. New band. New songs. Noah rocking the drums. Here he is drumming up a storm with his friend Ethan on guitar.
For those of you who watched a lot of Saturday morning TV in the 80's, you probably can hum the tune to this phrase -- "The shot heard round the world, was the start of the revolution." We took the kids to the spot in Concord, Mass, where the shot was fired. Pretty cool history. And it is a beautiful spot.
Thanks to my buddy Om Malik, Noah and I got treated to the Giants vs. Yankees baseball game today in style. It was a beautiful day and a fun game to watch. It was less fun for the Yankees fans but what can you do.
Noah is really into biographies these days and has started keeping a journal of inventors and their inventions. His first "inventor" in the journal is William Shakespeare. And what did he invent? A lot of words. Check out all these words Shakespeare invented:
- amazement
- birthplace
- cold-blooded
- dawn
- eyeball
- fashionable
- generous
- ill=tempered
- jaded
- love letter
- majestic
- outgrow
- puppy dog
- quarrelsome
- rascally
- school boy
- tranquil
- useful
- vulnerable
- well-behaved
- yelping
- zany
Can you believe that. It makes me really want to invent a word. So if you start seeing words in my posts that you've never heard of before, it is probably because I've made them up. Isn't that fantaristic!
Looks like Beckett is set for Halloween. He is going to be a parrot with giant feet (yes, the giant feet were his idea). Naoh is going to be a Hip Hop Alien (yes, being a hip hop alien was his idea). Darrow is going to be Dorothy (yes, she only wanted to be Dorothy so she could wear the ruby slippers). Julian has rehearsal for Christmas Dreamland Halloween night, so he won't be anything.
I was asked to be on a Trivia Bee team this evening but did the right thing and convinced them to let my brother Josh join the team instead. It was a much better call. But Noah, Beckett and I went to cheer the team on. They put on the afterburners and came in second after two sudden death questions.
It was the last day for Noah's little league team. Alas, they lost. But by some miracle they did end up with a winning season. Today's game seemed a little like the last week of school -- no one was really paying much attention nor did they particularly care one way or the other. I think we're all ready for summer.
