dyk and I had such a BAD day with the kids...and I do mean bad, terrible, horrible, made me want to cry, have an anxiety attack driving down the highway bad....


dyk that I decided even though we're 20 minutes from the New York New Year - it would make me happy to start this?

DYK Bruce & I play 'good cop bad cop' with Maegan a lot?

DYK We just take turns who gets to be the bad cop?

DYK But, we had a talk with Maegan long ago and told her never to pit us against each other because she was the odd person out?

DYK It's a strict rule that will not change?

DYK And we've made the consequences for doing it so bad that she will think several times before she does that?

DYK I've always told her that she would never be able to cause a quarrel between Bruce & myself...so don't even try?

dyk the Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty ferry trip is great?

dyk it's been several years since we did it (pre-9/11) and I remember thinking that for NYC it was the bargain of the century? The whole thing is less than $10 per person!

DYK Although we never made it as far north as San Francisco, I will have to say that San Diego was one of our favorite spots too?

DYK We wound up spending more time there than we intended, since Bruce had to go to the clinic after that spider bite?

DYK It all turned out well because we had built in a few down days and where better to spend them?

dyk I love that Maegan knows how to defend herself!


dyk I was once manhandled (for lack of a better term) by a drunk guy walking by me on the street who could not resist trying to grab "the girls" without permission.


dyk I have have no self-defense training, but my instincts kicked right in.

DYK Thank you, Jamie!

DYK I think she's a great mixture of both of us?

DYK She has my nose, I'm sure of that? And her lips...definitely my father's?
