It wasn’t as good as last year. I got us totally lost getting there. I hate driving in DC. I think the streets were laid out by dropping a bunch of tinkertoys on a map and calling it a day. To go about 80 miles roundtrip, we went 125. We went across the Key Bridge […]
I am The Norm. The Norm is me. I consider it a point of pride that I keep my inbox empty at all times and deal with mail as it comes in. I don’t know why everyone can’t do that. I walk by my friends’ desks and they have an unconquerable mountain of mail. How […]
So, I’m sitting here at my desk at work on a Saturday aftenoon. Why, you ask? Well, I forgot to bring the directions to the party home last night, and now I’m burning a couple CDs for the car trip to the party. I never realized how cool having a 100 CD-R’s, iTunes and a […]
The big company party is tomorrow night. We’re getting all dressed up, smiling, and going. In a whole different world, I wanted to tell you the story of when I discovered that girls and boys are different. I was 8 or 9. We lived on an Air Force base in Goldsboro, North Carolina. If you’ve […]
Have you ever left something undone so long that now the the thought of doing whatever it was that was left undone is now twice as unpleasant as it was before? That’s how I feel about my “vacation beard”. I was going to let it grow for a week, just to see what happened. That […]
It’s a holiday my family borrowed while we lived in Germany. Those crazy Germans. Somewhere around December 5th, all the little German kids put their shoes outside the door when they go to bed. Then, when they wake up the next morning, there’s a little present from St. Nick waiting for them in their stinky […]
My Britney problem — and yours – A great article from Salon about the pop princess and what she’s peddling. It’s a fascinating point of view. It makes it hard to think about having another kid. What if the baby’s a girl? It seems like such a herculean task to raise a girl today. I […]
Jen’s finally starting to feel better. It’s about time, if you ask me. I can only handle being SuperDad for so long! Honestly, it was a great relief to see that I could take care of everything if I had to. Max was fed, fairly clean, happy and doing his Max thing. Jen was cared […]
If I were a work of art, I would be Pablo Picasso’s Three Musicians. I am colourful and provoking, always looking to break out of the mould and to pioneer new ways of doing things. I have a jaunty outlook and although I am a bit weird, most people have some idea what I’m about. […]
The webcam is coming, kiddies. Be forewarned. My fat (currently fuzzy) face will soon be plastered all over the site. Yay for webcams! Maybe I’ll go start up camboys or something and become a web celebrity or something. mmmmmmmmm, celebrity.
