I’m sure you’ve read all about it already, but I was there. Ok, I wasn’t there there, but I was in the stadium. Yes, we made it to Monday Night Football last night. It took us two hours to get there, a mile of walking past tailgaters, port-a-potties and up four stadium levels of ramps […]

What Would You Say?
Have you seen KEO? You can go and post a 6000 character message that will be sent up into a satellite will supposedly orbit the earth for 50,000 years before returning to earth to be read by our descendants. Ummm, yeah. Anyway, Jon and I came up with some possible missives for the project (all […]
Look At The Size Of Him!
Jen bought a new digital scale on Saturday and we had a morbidly fun time weighing ourselves (Max included, although he wouldn’t stand still on it long enough to be accurate, he’s around 34 pounds). The most astounding thing to me was that I’ve lost over twenty pounds since my last doctor’s visit. While it […]
Short Weekend Roundup
It’s huge! We got our new big TV on Friday (through an employee discount, I didn’t pay that much really) and spent the weekend ogling its friggin’ huge perfect picture. Watching football will never be the same. I can see everything now. It’s easier to track the ball, and there’s less confusion about what’s happening […]
I’m Not Funny
I was talking to a guy I work with about the Swedish Chef from the old Muppet Show. I’d forgotten all about “bork”. It’s the funniest four letter (what is it, onomatopoeia, word, thing?) in the world. So funny in fact, I deleted one of my screennames on AOL to create a new one: Bork […]
Give Me Morphine!
I’ve ripped all my Morphine albums now except Cure for Pain, which I’ve misplaced somewhere. Morphine was my favorite band of the 90’s. Their mellow bass driven lounge rock was perfect. Their first three albums, Good, Cure for Pain and Yes are essential members of any good music library and great artillery for self-indulgent pity […]
Need a Clean One?
Why is now my favorite time in Max’s life so far? He connects things now and can have a real conversation (well, real in a surreal way). Last night, we had to take my little brother to school on our way out to dinner. Steve has the flu, but had to go to class anyway. […]
Another Forgotten Album
In my recent techno-obsession, I’ve forgotten all about Phish. Today, I’m listening to a bunch of their albums, and the first one I picked up is still my favorite. Billy Breathes is an amazing album. In the album’s 45 minutes, Phish manages to use all of their talent to create an album that sounds better […]
Hey, It’s Today!
I resolved not to watch anything on TV with “9/11” in the title. That left me with very few options, which was fine with me. I played with Max, cleaned up, waited for Jen to get home, and played some Jak and Daxter (beat the big robot at the end… now I have to go […]
Thank God for the First Amendment
For everyone who bought one of those durable vinyl car flags, there were those who thought we deserved it. And, as strong as my reaction is to both of those extremes, I know I’ve spent at least a second at each one of them, and at many places in between. That said, there’s some stuff […]
