Maybe it’s the constant steam of earthquake news in the background, or the time change, but either way my 3-week-old son Ayden came to a big decision over the weekend. He decided that he would, from this point on, never sleep. His choice…but my oh my how our childrens’ choices affect the parents…

ANOTHER URGENT

Shinmoedake volcano erupts, sends ash two miles into sky…


Can things get any worse..


People talk about the end of the world a lot these days. I can only imagine that in Japan, it feels like it

URGENT

KYODO: Cooling system pump at Tokai No. 2 stops working…

Amazing images running in the DAILY MAIL of massive swarms of fish (as they point out, looking more like oil slicks in the water than fish, since there were that many of them) swimming to Acapulco..

Fishermen took advantage. So did people with cameras..

Did the earthquake and tsunami make this happen…?

Officials in Japan warn: A monster aftershock may strike within days..

The other fear, besides the nuclear concerns, is another tsunami.. The ultimate fear is a quake, tsunami directed at the nuclear facility at Fukushima..

The death toll continues to rise in Japan — and it may very well likely top 10,000..

I just can't stop thinking...

Only weeks ago, my wife and I brought a child into this world.. And during the quake and tsunami in Japan, someone there was bringing a child into the world too, at some unnamed hospital and some time.. So unsettling to think of how difficult Japan’s days are now..

As much as I hated the media over-covering Charlie Sheen, I think I miss him being the top story

It would be far better than hearing of death and destruction with waves of tsunami waters destroying land and human life.


I just can’t sleep..
