Viva la Posterous
Okay… here’s yet another reason Posterous roXors: it took exactly three clicks to import absolutely all of the content from the old Moveable Type blog! That was easy. Too easy, in fact… I’m wondering what funk lies in wait around the corner. Unfortunately, there’s no amount of wizardry that can rescue the approximately two years worth of swank that fell before the mighty rush of a Rackspace server...

We here at the Tree House are kicking off the holiday season with a new blog by the swanktastic crew at Posterous. It’s been a crazy holiday season but we seem to be weathering the blitz… so far ;) What better way to celebrate our new posting platform than with a post about trimming the tree!

Duncan McCoy, 1996-2009
We love you. You will be remembered.
WTF Is a Chaparral?
We probably should have posted these when the event… ya know… actually happened but, hey, we had a few parties. And anyone that’s been to a Tree House party (as distinguished from a merely informal Tree House dinner gathering) will tell you, things are a bit blurry afterwards. So while this may be old news to some of you, to us it was Friday night ;) <Insert Teary Eyed Theme...
100% All-Natural-Locally-Grown-Organic Scam
The crew went to the Sunset Valley Farmer’s Market this morning. It appears that the neo-hippies and Los Angeles refugees have a few demands for a homegrown event. New-agery. Mac & Cheese Pizza. If THIS is locally grown, I’d rather eat my foot.
Baby Steps
Babycakes and Sugar (or Shug as the more gangsta of the Tree House crew call her) are getting along rather well. They’re thick as thieves!
There Is No Spoon
We Are Family
Meet Sugar, the newest addition to the Tree House crew! Here she is with Babycakes and Barnaby!
The Search for Spock
The cousins didn’t get to see one another very much as children. While Spock was intensely concentrating on his studies, Schlock relaxed in the pastures discovering new and inventive ways to flash ferment barley and hops.When Spock entered the Academy, Schlock felt as though his heart had been ripped from his chest. He once believed that he and his cousin would attend college together and...
Mmm... M3
The next “family car” comes complete with M-Sport mode. Soccer balls and Big Gulps don’t make the cut ;)
I Got Hurt Feelings
Babycakes put on an impromptu puppet show set to the Flight of the Conchords ;)

Meet Mr. Flip-Flop
Scorpion season is officially here :(
It's Alive
Babycakes wanted to give her sissy something special for graduation so she scored J a little furry graduation doggie ;)
Terminator 8: Refugee
Looks like we’re officially getting a cat ;)
Don't Look into Its Eyes!
I suspect the Tree House will soon have yet another mouth to feed ;)
Blowing in the Wind
We’ve been noticing the lack of a vent hood above the stove lately. Sure, there’s a snazzy looking Thermador stainless steel über air vent behind the stove but that’s just cutting it.Negotiations are currently underway to discover what, if anything can be placed over the stove or on the back wall without obscuring the view. I mean, really… it’s all about the view,...

It's Not Poetry... It's Spoken Word
Babycakes presented a poem spoken word piece as part of the last-two-weeks-before-i-get-to-forget-everything-i-just-learned festival at school. “Spaghetti, spaghetti, all over the place!”
The Attack of Fluncan (Reprise)
Duncan’s now 13 years old. He’s still a sweet little hunch-on-everything boy, though ;) Babycakes and Ol’ Dad prep Duncan’s presents. Babycakes set Duncan (AKA Fluncan) up with party gear ;) Babycakes and El Fluncarino! And then it was time!Happy birthday, old man :)
That's Just How She Rolls
Babycakes wants to be a Texas Rollergirl when she grows up. Thanks, Curly! ;)

Babycakes and I had a little fun with dinner last night. She digs on organic raspberries ;)

Yet another batch of loot ;) Babycakes chills out… Old fashioned fishing. The roughneck crew of USS Fasttrak ;) Bimini Island (AKA OMFG THAT’S BEAUTIFUL!!!) Mid-Atlantic Babycakes...

Bimini Bop
After a week of relaxation, we figured we should finally get around to posting the pics of day 6 in the Caribbean ;) Ol’ Dad wishes for nothing more than a little red wine and world peace… Ol’ Dad was ready to check out Bimini ;) It was like Cape Fear… only without all the bad stuff ;) Babycakes (AKA Co-Captain) See ya later, Port Lucaya!

Relaxative
There’s nothing in the world like forgetting the time of day… the number of things you have to get done in the next few weeks… who you need to call… who’s pissed at you… who likes you. Over time, it soaks into your cortex and you realize you should take that attitude with you when the trip is done… like a well worn sandal to serve as a reminder of what it...
Bahama Mama
We’re in Freeport on Grand Bahama for a week. Libations are flowing freely so expect minimum verbosity. And so, without further ado, here are some pics! Port Lucaya Marina in Freeport. Fasttrak, our home on the water for the next week. Ol’ Dad… hard at work pissing off the innocent. Babycakes gives a shout out to J ;) Wahoo!!! “Pilot to bombardier…” Lone...
Life’s a Beach

I always knew someday we’d swim with the fishes… er… mammals ;) Babycakes takes off on a soon-to-be 50 mph excursion ;) “You can’t fix this car, Spicoli!” “I can fix it…” One of the props from Der Seewolf. Sit down, J… and stop singing! ;) Kaliki and Katoji, our dolphin swim guides. Kaliki is on, um… the right ;) Babycakes and,...
Here We Go Again
It seems a crew of gremlins loaded aboard the server feeding Austin Tree House to the world and ate its innards atop handmade melba toast. Sadly, all of our previous entries were lost and scattered into the digital void.Although we will be making efforts to rebuild some of those posts from the original text notes and images, you shouldn’t expect much. Free time here at the Tree House goes...
