Avoiding a tedious repair job by using my doorbell’s backup bell
Did you know that most doorbells have two chimes in them? I didn’t until today, and it just saved me an hour and a half and $20. A couple of months ago, the button to our doorbell broke. The button … Continue reading
School form hell…please, create a standard emergency contact sheet form!
My older daughter just started junior kindergarden, which is an exciting but difficult time for the family. My wife and I have divided up different aspects of managing the enrollments and transitions, and we have agreed that filling out all … Continue reading
The Rothman-Shore Family Video, 2011-2012
Every year, I put together a video with highlights of photos and videos of our family. I just finished assembling the latest one, from the summery of 2011 to the summer of 2012, and I am once again posting it … Continue reading

If you never incur overage charges, you may be on the wrong mobile plan
Long ago, I did some research and switched us to a $15/month 200MB data plan from AT&T. I had determined that neither of us ever exceeded 150MB (usually closer to 100MB), so it was an easy decision to switch from … Continue reading
