TalkBack… Or Not

I Have Tickets!!

Another Commercial Song

That song from the Levi’s commercial where the guy dives back in the harbor after his English/French dictionary is called Playground Love by Air. It’s available on the Virgin Suicides soundtrack. Oh, and what does the girl say to him in French after he gets out of the water? “What did you forget?” Am I […]

Batman Could Do That?

Busted!!

We got caught! I don’t believe it. Jen and I were taking the trash out last night (it was after 10pm) and cleaning up Max’s sidewalk chalk mess. She kissed me, I kissed her and before you know it, here comes a lady from down the street with her little barrel dog. Jen yelled “Ooops!”, […]

Oh My, He’s Gone Native!

I still have my vacation beard. My face is now covered in shrubbery. It’s been almost two weeks since I shaved, and the beard is getting pretty full. Why do I still have in on my third day back to work? It’s embarrassing to say, but I’m scared. Cutting it off means standing in front […]

Back to the Grind

I’m back to the grind. I’ve waded through the pile of e-mail waiting for my return. I’ve fixed a dozen problems waiting for me in that pile, and started work on a dozen more. It’s nice to feel needed, but it was even better to take a break. I feel recharged and ready to get […]
