See, this is why I love Carol Lay. Her comic today is so perfect. There are times as a parent where you can’t laugh, even though you want to. It’s hard, near impossible for me. Kids do the funniest things when they’re angry.

Sniper Skittishness
So our deadly neighborhood sniper has struck again. We’re not talking about it at work. We talk about it constantly at home. I was up until 1:30 last night watching CNN after the latest one last night at a Home Depot about 30 minutes from my house. All of the attacks except the ones in […]
The Weekend Entertainment Roundup
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, but I actually got out this weekend (with the sniper on the loose, that’s a feat). Here’s the roundup, in chronological order: The Transporter: So, they gave Turkish from Snatch a chance at his own action movie. Jason Statham is perfect for the action hero […]
Puzzling Evidence
The latest evidence that public education is going right down the crapper? In Virginia, the test you have to take before you can progress to the next grade is called the SOL. An adult who should know better came up with that! Next thing you know, kids will have to take the BBW before they […]
T-Shirts Forthcoming
Ok, they’re not really because I wouldn’t go so far as to actually make any, but we came up with a really great one tonight that I may submit to t-shirt hell (not for the faint of heart). I want a picture of Della Reese in boxing gloves with a nice cursivey font above the […]
Wearing a New Hat (a Red One)
I got my uberBox at work upgraded to RedHat 8.0 today. It’s nice. The dithered fonts in XWindows look really good, and the admin tools actually work (as opposed to things like the X Services Tool in 7.2). There were some glaring omissions like ksh and the telnet server made in either the pursuit of […]
It’s So NEW!
I’m learning a new language. Yes, I’m doing it. I forgot how much fun it is to jump into something brand new and see it work. We’re moving to Java/JSP/Tomcat at work, and that means that I get to switch from my beloved AOLserver to the strange world of virtual application urls, beans, servlets and […]
Stupid Questions
Inspired by a comment about this post, I’ve decided that I have a new life’s passion. I’ve been searching for something for a while, and well, I’ve found something that fits my speed perfectly. What do I want to do? I want to become the world’s first fat, white Tai Chi Bad-Ass. I want to […]
Three, Two, One, RIBBIT!!
My med student little brother and his wife the accountant sent Max a lovely birthday card and little stuffed tree frog. It’s a lovely green and orange frog with big amber eyes. Max opened the card himself, and then wouldn’t give it to us to read it to him. He wanted to read it himself. […]
Too Quickly Forgotten
You know how you read something really great, but after a while it slowly slips away and you forget all about it? That’s happened to me and Bone. It’s this amazing comic by Jeff Smith, full of wonder, humor action and amazing characters and it just slipped out the backdoor of my mind without so […]
