It looks like Rich is a winner again. I can’t believe my San Francisco lost to Minnesota … dang that Brette Favre!

Football Week 3
Monday, September 28th, 2009Aaron is 2 Years Old
Sunday, September 27th, 2009
Aaron is two years old today. Walking, talking, even spelling (mimicking his older sibs, probably), he has changed a lot over two years. Favorite animals: “dino-nose”, “t-rex”! He’s a menace, but a lot of fun. Can’t wait to go to school.
Camilla’s Perfect Score
Sunday, September 27th, 2009
Camilla scored a perfect one this week! I’m not going to post any more tests (except on my office door), unless they’re really interesting. But a first-ever perfect deserves some attention.

Apple Store Temecula
Saturday, September 26th, 2009Opening Day!
Sept. 26, 10am – We’re not there yet, but I have taken these photos off Twitter. It takes awhile for all six members of the Steussy Ranch to get dressed and get anywhere. Given the line – I think being slower is better for us.
Sept 24: The new Apple Store in Temecula is less than a mile away from the Steussy Ranch. I stopped by yesterday morning to get some photos of it. (more…)
Medical Reform: The Cost Burden Now
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009
I’m not a doctor, though I come from a medical family. My father, older brother and middle sister are doctors: 2 pathologists and one family practitioner turned PhD researcher. My one direct medical experience, six years working in a medical laboratory, was three decades ago.
So, if I’m going to comment on American health care, it is as a user of services. I’m aware of some of the issues that providers of services have, but I don’t have any special knowledge. No, my here-and-now ability is to offer what I truly know that few other people do: the cost of the current system. (more…)
Football Week 2
Monday, September 21st, 2009
UPDATE: Indianapolis wins! Here are the totals. Congrats to Mom!
The week isn’t over, as we have Indianapolis vs. Miami this evening, but Mom is definitely the winner in the family pool this week, regardless of the outcome. Congrats to Mom – unseating Rich as the champion sports picker!
First Tests of the Year
Saturday, September 19th, 2009
Pardon me playing Dad here, but I need to post the kids’ results of their first two weeks in school. Above is Camilla’s first test. Ever. Not bad at all. Particularly if you’re four years old.
This is Dan-dan’s first spelling test of the year. Not sure why he mixed up “can” and “mat.” I’m sure he’ll do better next time.
Dan-dan’s first math test. Ever. 100%. Not too shabby.
Temecula Montessori Spelling Words
Saturday, September 19th, 2009
I’m posting this as a public service for the Temecula Montessori Kindergarten classes. These are the spelling words for the year. Every year, parents and kids misplace this list, which is essential to getting homework done and preparing for tests. Only of interest to a select few people, and you know who you are!
We also have the 1st Grade words here, below.
Wawanesa vs. Allstate
Friday, September 18th, 2009
We just switched from Allstate to Wawanesa for our car insurance. Almost 50% savings (from $700 a year to $360 a year). It’s only available in California and Oregon. I strongly recommend going to their website for a quote for all my readers who are in those two states.
Tell them you saw it on the Steussy Ranch.
