Thanks to the UPS guy who couldn’t get around me and my burly next door neighbor, my truck is back in its spot. Ahead of me is a bunch of shovelling, back pain and swearing. I mean lots and lots of swearing. Sailor-scale swearing. Stubbed your little toe on the dresser swearing. Yeah, that much. […]
I tried to go to work today. Already, this doesn’t sound good, does it? I backed up in 4-Wheel Low and hit the wall created by the plow. I figured I could easily go over it. Little did I realize that the wall’s pretty much solid ice. Now my truck is stuck half in the […]
I had one of those “oh yeah” moments today. See, I drive an SUV. It’s not a huge truck (’97 Chevy Blazer), but it is an SUV that gets less than 25 miles to the gallon. I’ve been feeling guilty recently with all the “oil pays for terrorism” rhetoric around. But, today, I remembered why […]

So, download the upgrade, run mt-upgrade26.cgi and ::poof::, […]
For all the terms I could come up for, why oh why does Google pick “green snot” to put me at number two?
24″ and counting. They say it’s not going to stop until mid-afternoon tomorrow. We took Max out to play earlier, and will have pictures up later after we warm up our extremities. This is more snow that I could have hoped for, really. It could stop anytime now and I would be perfectly happy. I’m […]
We’re bracing for a gigantic snowstorm. 8-12 inches in one day is like three feet in Minnesota. They’ve cancelled church, which never ever happens. I think I’ve had church cancelled on me maybe three times in my entire life, and once was because we weren’t allowed to leave the base to attend (I was five […]
My mother in law is the best (and how lucky am I that I can say that and actually mean it). In an e-mail to Jen, she said, “duct tape and plastic sheeting is hysterical crap. Now go turn on Blues Clues or something and stay away from the news.” Way to go, mom!
