Skating at HB State Beach / Easter Candy Hunt
There’s tons of vids on my drive but it takes a long time to get to those, ya know? Anyway, the community Easter egg hunt was cool except for the lack of eggs (Lack of funding? Envirobullshit? No one knew.).

We are Legion, or the Ts have already won.
– NOTICE OF BAGGAGE INSPECTION – To protect you and your fellow passengers, the XSA is required by law to steal your wife’s panties and confiscate your house keys so you can’t get in when you arrive home from your 26 hour flight at midnight inspect all checked baggage. Your bag was among those selected for physical inspection (possibly because it contained used women’s undergarments). During the inspection, your bag and its contents may have been searched for prohibited or tantalizing items. At the completion of the inspection, many of the contents were returned to your bag (albeit not in the orderly or sensible fashion in which they were originally…

Airport waiting
Time for the long journey home, boarding in five minutes. LAX does itself no favors instituting a mandatory full body search for parents carrying baby milk, and the comically serious airport policeman cruising around these hallways on a Segway makes things seem so… LA.

nth Degrees of Mike Shinoda
We’ve been too busy to post anything for a couple weeks and that’s a good thing… It’s been too fun meeting up with family, friends, and random celebrities. In the one month we’ve been here, I’ve seen Shaq driving a convertible on the 405 (not really), Kid Rock in a bar in Monterey (not really), DJ Qbert walking into the character breakfast at the Disneyland hotel (probably not really), and became aware that I have a mere two degrees of separation from Lincoln Park/Fort Minor headman Mike Shinoda (really). More photos and stuff will follow after our return home. We’re departing on April 25 and will be home at the…

The Children’s Museum at La Habra
This museum was about 40 minutes away from our house and had the most impressive trophy room I’ve ever seen. I mean, it was like a great trophy room with a bunch of stuff for kids to do as well. For the purpose of edutaining kids, this place gets 3.25 stars out of 5 (but if it had been crowded it would have dropped below 3, I think). Their flashtastic website is here.

Fishing Derby at Mile Square Park
Although we skunked out like most on that day (in spite of 1,600 lbs of rainbow trout being stocked a couple days before), we had a great time. We met Phil Friedman and everybody around us was friendly. The kid fishing next to us picked up his sister’s pole when it bent over late in the day (his sister had gotten bored and wandered off somewhere) and he pulled in the biggest fish of the day. All in all, it was a good day.

First three days back
Day 1: Indoor rock climbing with my little sister Day 2: First snow for Mina and Max, up at Wrightwood Day 3: Storytime at the Main St. Branch of the Huntington Beach Public Library. First beach visit – we parked in the state beach lot and started walking to the water, but MAx and Mina got distracted by the sand so we headed back. Still too cold anyway. Got a SIM for my phone (more on this later) at At&T and went indoor climbing again. Pho dac biet for late dinner.
