I got "tagged" recently by Kristen to list these groups of "favorites with kids"... This is apparently one of those self-propagating list deals, but unlike the ones for youngsters that ask things like "name your crush" this one is geared to parenting. OK. I'm cool with that. It needs to be understood that I'm almost done with the close-quarters, hands-on parenting phase. My urchins are in high school and college. Sadly, we don't really do all that much as a group any more. Here's what I came up with.
Four places I'd like to take my kids on vacation
1. Big Sur
2. Dominique
3. British Isles
4. Some desparately poor country -- Haiti or India -- to show them how good they've got it.
Four shows I like to watch with my kids
1. Gilmore Girls
2. Everwood (now cancelled, alas)
3. American Idol
4. Saturday Night Live
Four restaurants I like to go to with my kids
1. Bagel Works
2. Texas Roadhouse
3. Moritomo
4. Arnies
Four things I want my kids to be good at
1. Listening
2. Understanding
3. Communicating
4. Caring
Four websites I visit daily
1. NHMagazine.com (It's the default on my browser.)
2. Drudge Report( Just to be sure the world is still there.)
3. Ernesto's and/or Kristen's (OK, I don't visit every day, but often enough)
4. Area 603
Four people I'll tag with this
This is embarrasing, since the point of these self-propagating Web dealies is to spread them around, but the truth is, I don't know that many people with blogs and kids. My kids have blogs. None of my siblings do. The few close friends I know to have blogs are Kristen and Ernesto.

I had a hard time with the "people to tag with this" too. It's kind of limiting since not only do they need to have kids, they need to have a blog. How lame that I had to tag Ernesto as well! I'm not all that familiar with some of those restaurants you listed...you'll have to give us the skinny on those.
Four places I'd like to go to on vacation with my family:
1. Disney World
2. France
3. All around the US (out west particularly)
4. Some desperately (haha "desparately".. nice spelling, Dad) poor country -- Haiti or India -- to show my parents how good they've got it ;-), and to experience something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than I've ever experienced before.
Four shows I like to watch with my family:
1. Gilmore Girls

3. American Idol
4. America's Got Talent

Four things I want my parents to be good at

Drudge Report?! I prefer Metafilter. Bill Garrett
Guess I didn't need to sign that last one. DOH!
Bill, if the world comes to an end, I want to read about it in breathy hyperbole, not matter-of-fact newsspeak. Drudge Report might jump the gun and predict the end of the world a few hours (or days) too soon, but it least I'd have a chance to practice kissing my ass goodbye.
