I’ve been thinking about this big redesign I’m working on for this site, and I think black is going to make a big comeback. I used to be a huuuu-uuuuge fan of black pages, but I’ve been ignoring it for a couple years and I think it’s time to give it another shot. I’ll still […]

Cascade My Style, Baby
It’s paint with mucous day at Chez Lawver! Max has had a cold for about 3 days, Jen for 2, and now me. We’re all irritable, unpleasant and chock-full of mucous in our various snot-containing body cavities. We’re tired… but achey enough that a nap doesn’t seem possible. I was going to send myself something […]
A Marvelous Rant and a Ramble
This sniper thing in the DC area is driving us all insane. My wife is afraid. Logically, we all know the odds of being struck by space junk while planting pig’s feet in the garden are greater than being a victim of the sniper. But, like Jen says, if you die in a car accident […]
What Pie Through Yonder Window Breaks?
There are more things in the circus, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Clownspeare, what a concept. I see a big future in the Barnum and Bailey revival of Hamlet.
Sudden Urges
All of a sudden, I have a desparate need to redesign this site. I’ve been thinking about moving all the family pictures in Max’s page to a blog (I even figured out a cool way to take a PhotoShop generated web gallery and turn them into importable entries), and turn the Geekery into a blog […]
You Are Going To Bed RIGHT NOW!
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 […]
