Another Great day with Man Cub
Namaste Y'all;
Just a quick WOW what a great afternoon yesterday!We played in our favorite playground- I love the location right
on a small peninsula surrounded by two rivers , lots of flora and fauna and fish. Geese, Ducks,Herons, Egrets, Bald Eagle,
Fox, Squirrels and assorted budgies, etc. The bonus is we can see our house from this park. It was a fabulous afternoon of
playing with an veritable UN of friends ( local, from Mexico, from the Philippines, from japan, from Korea, from Guatemala,
from Pakistan, from, Kenya, from Rwanda, from Nigeria, etc...It was truly awesome watching everybody- young and old ( like
me -lol) playing ,laughing, loving, helping, enjoying, sharing, We had to go grab a quick bite then it was off to the grocery
store -you gotta love a man cub who goes in wanting 'nanners, carrots, soybeans, melons,grapes, apples, pears, Brussels sprouts,
multi grain bread, .... Any way it was an incredible afternoon and evening. The night was spent snuggling and loving, and
reading, and enjoying,
Folks I am strongly urging
y'all to continue to keep it simple- Life is filled with magical moments . We need only remain open , embrace each little
moment , and simply simplify- enjoy the little things that use to bring us pleasure-
MAN CUB -THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE YOUR DADDY,
FOR BEING UP IN HEAVEN AND PICKING ME OUT AND FOR TEACHING ME TO ENJOY LIFE
AND THE SIMPLE PLEASURES IT BRINGS AND OFFERS !!!!!

pleased to meet you
Greetings Folks;
Yes I know its been awhile so let's get out of the mustard and
catchup. Sir Alexander of Robinson has been a very busy and brave young man. Last week Daddy went to NYC with some friends
to see another friend perform her show on Broadway; a very long day indeed. The show was fantastic. Alexandros stayed with
Ms. Karen and Monet. Now as we know Rusty knows no strangers; he has met Ms. Karen once and Monet - never; it didn't matter.
I dropped him off at their church, gave Ms. Karen a hug, got our man-cub out and told him to have fun. Of course
we prepared for what he might expect so he wasn't too scared. He, bravely walked up to Ms. Karen took her hand
and Monet's hand and walked into his first church service. Of course he got his praise on and let the spirit move him- he
rocks, and played drums. After church he went to a cookout and went swimming- yeah he had a blast. They gave him a bath
after swimming but as he told Karen -"daddy should have told you I like baths not showers". Apparently after
he talked to me (hey I'm not used to being this far away and for this long so I kept checking in-more for me than anything
-I trust Alexander. Karen ,and Monet) he told Monet- " I'm done talking to daddy, you can turn the water back on."
Needless to say he was fine. Thursday was the prom at school;quite a beautilful affair. It is nice to see these students have
a chance to get formal and show they really are good kids. A-Rob had another long night , but this time he stayed with Ms.
Ellie. Today we cruised through the farmer's market and the drove up to Baugher's- obstensibly to do some pick your own but
the line was long just to get on the tractor ride and frankly Alexander couldn't care less, but we still bought som cherries
and strawberries. He just wanted to play on the swingset and make new friends. Or little man introduced himdself to two kids
who in turn introduced themselves, Alexander responded with " pleased to meet you" well apparently other children heard this
and before long all the kids were introducing themselves and responding-From the mouth of babes- why can't adults be that
courteous? I mean it looked the U.N. at the swing set we met people from Eldersburg, Richmond, India, Pakistan,Iraq, Japan,
China, Israel, Vietnam,& Scotland. None of the kids cared- all I saw was kindness and love between them. Let's face
it hate is taught. Excuse me while climb down from my soap box. Let's face it I rant therefore I am .

Greetings;
Wow it's been a quick three
years since I graduated CCBC and Alexandros and I began our journey toward independence together. Truth be told my sol
invectus really helped me move forward. Enough about me ,that's not why y'all are here anyway. OK OK so on with the show...
Rusty had another great week! He went swimming three times with Ms. Ellie and the gang and even made it to the pool a
couple of times with papi. Yesterday I was bustin' with pride because Alexander shopped very well with me at Target
then was sooooo kind and respectful at the pool. A-Rob shared his pool toys, was courteous, and shared his snackerals; yes
even his chocolate goldfish. Man I am so impressed with our mancub. That said I need to find some way to get him to clean
up after himself home- I think he has me trained. That's all for now folks so.....tfn

Our Fearless Fish
Yep that's right folks the pool in our complex
is open and our fearless little fish had a blast today. I 'm not a fan of water-wings so I got my little guppy love a swim
suit-PFD vest combo. He didn't put up much fight when we put it on, and really enjoyed being in the big pool and having some
freedom. Alexandros was very courteous and made friends quickly. Ahhh let's face it the boy ain't bashful. On two
separate occassions other children were being reprimanded by their mothers and Alexander obeyed- he wasn't even acting up.
Let's face it he rocks.

Cinquo de Mayo
Well folks Alexander had
a fabulous Cinquo de Mayo !!! Ole !!! We went to the market where of course our lil' jazz man just had to have a muffin and
perform with the guitar player. Yes folks he was caught playing the air guitar and dancing... imagine that. From there we
headed to TU for the football fest. OK OK so we drove my Midhurst Road first , I wanted Rusty to see my old 'hood, naturally
he saw and put in a request for the Rodgers Forge Tot Lot. Man does that place rock! Lot's of cool things for my wee bonnie
lad but also families. Listen we just don't see that kind of interaction at our local playgrounds from two parents that
we saw there. It was touching and refreshing. Alexander was very good when it came time to leave, I gave him his usual 5/2/1
minute warning. When I told " Ok buddy we need to leave in one minute" he very sweetly asked " daddy can we stay for three
more minutes...please?" I had to say yes and he was totally cool about walking off the lot when the time was up. He rocks!!!
Are you ready for some
football? Well man cub is!!! We went to watch the Tigers practise game. It was sooo cool!!! we watched a few plays and naturally
our boy wanted to join in the fun, and did. They had a moon bounce, football toss, and uniform try on for the kids. Alexander
couldn't even wait for that stuff, he walked right up to the bench and snatched a helmet and tried to get into the action.
The players werer really cool to him. Fortunately it was halftime, and our boy was trying to get the helmet from
the starting quarterback, and we were talkng to friend of mine, an assistant coach. Alexander got his shot of water from one
of the players, tried to tackle a player, and decided to return the helmet. Then off to the moonbounce. Heaven!!! Football
and a moonbounce! He made friends and played a loooooooong time. I ended talking to one of the other fathers, TU basketball
coach. After the moonbounce Alexander went to the field goal practise area then snatched another helmet from the dress up
table. He couldn't care less that the man in white behind had just been drafted by the Saints. Instead he just went to
the field, notice the player on the left? yeah he walked right up to him and llike they were old friends. A-Rob returned the
helmet. grabbed a football and made a dash from one end zone to the other, ok so he started to tucker out around the five
yard line (think Kelly Gregg) but still made the 110 yard dash and spiked the ball. actually he ended up running
through the net in the back of ther end zone. He is so cool.
We then made our way across
campus to the Baseball game, yes the little bugger tried getting onto the filed, this time he ran past six adults, reached
up, opened the gate, and headed for the dugout. One of the ladies laughed and said " the players can't even figure out how
to use the gate" What can I say we got ourselves a regular Rum Tum Tugger ( a curious cat) . We watched the game for
a few innings then toured daddy's campus. We found the water fountain , Alexander enjoyed looking at the water and fish.
Today the bridge walk was
canceled so we stayed home and cleaned...yeah right we PLAYED!!!! and a little cleaning. It is very late and we have
a long week so ttfn

Greetings Y'all;
This is the site
to find out what Alexander the Great and his daddy are up to. We hope to keep this thing current :) Keep coming back for updates
on my man cub.
On this page, we will try to keep you posted on all things Alexander the Great!
FYI the reasons why we chose Beautiful Boy over Alexander the Great for this web page are (1) Beautiful Boy is "our
song" written by John Lennon for his son, who shares his birthday and (2) if you "Google" Alexander the Great
you will get ~ 37,500,000 hits, as opposed to only 31,100,000 for Beautiful Boy... D'oh!!!
