He's 19 Months Old!!

I guess it's time to update Jack's blog - yes about a year later. A lot has happened in little Jack's life. He took a trip to Tokyo, had his one-year old birthday bash, went to his first San Diego Padres game, and on and on.... He also found out recently that he's having a little brother in April! So he's gearing up for big brother status. I've attached a picture of him at the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo with one of his favorite animals - the giraffe!

Incredible Mutant Lobster Boy Found on the Central California Coast!

Meet the Incredible Mutant Lobster Boy seen here being carried away by a local man in Kingsburg, California. "I can't believe what I found when I pulled the cage out of the water," claims Jose Wafferman, a janitor and lobster enthusiast who found this cute crustacean early Friday morning. "He scared me silly at first, but then I thought I would take him home. I sure hope the wife doesn't mind."

The lobster, nicknamed "Jacques" by the townspeople, weighed in at an alarming 17 pounds. "It's the darndest thing if you ask me," said Sheriff Griffith. "I swear it's half boy and half lobster. You ain't seen nothing like that around in these here parts. No sir!"

Jack Has Arrived!! His Father Just Took Eight Months to Get His Blog Back Up!

Eight months later.....Capt Jack Rogers is here! As you can tell by the date on my previous post, it has been over a year since I've written anything. The last time I posted, Kimberly and I found out we were having a baby boy.

I was so excited at the prospect of having a child, that my mind raced with ideas. I wanted to write something for him that would last forever, so I started with an idea of a futuristic space fleet of kids who would go and explore the outer reaches of the universe. The main hero of course would be Captain Jack Rogers (no relation to Buck Rogers). They would fight outlandish extraterrestrials, explore new planets and worlds, and possibly find out what's past the outer layer of the universe.

Well, the story is on the mental "bookshelf" for now. The paragraph you read is as far as I got. I thought it would be cool, however, to keep an updated blog of Jack on-line. An internet diary, if you will, that others can read, comment on, and view pictures that we'll post of Mr. Jack E Chan. To view correctly, the most recent posts start at the top.

If anything else, this will be a blog dedicated to the boy who has turned my life upside down. I'm inviting you to enjoy the photos, the silly writing, and also to post some comments as well. I'll be giving updates on Jack and what he's up to these days - currently teething, trying to crawl, and learning to laugh.

Cheers

PS - Feel free to pass the word along about the blog. It's a great way to share the fun of the "Jack"! The website is http://jackrogersdiary.blogspot.com/
