Today is Max’s 9th birthday. To celebrate, I took the boys to the Oatland Wildlife Center to see some alligators and other wildlife. Little did I realize that it was a two mile hike around the center to see everything. And we did the whole thing. I, of course, took pictures which are up on […]

How’d I Do On “The Omnivore Hundred”
A challenge is afoot! Very Good Taste created a list called the Omnivore Hundred and challenged people to post it to their blogs and bold the things they’ve eaten. So, here’s mine, most of them with commentary and I linked to the Wikipedia entries for the ones I’d never heard of: Venison Nettle tea Huevos […]
Not Again… Love Thy Neighbor
Here we go again. My Church has come out again and said two different things, and it’s driving me crazy. On the one hand, the church released a statement saying that the church is neutral in political elections but encourages members to participate in the process. On the other, they come out in favor of […]
Not What I Planned for This Weekend
Max was sick earlier this week, and now Brian is too. They both have some gastrointestinal explosiveness disorder that means Jen was up and down most of the night with them, we need to do laundry and we’ll be fueling both kids with Pepto©, kaopectate™, Sprite© and dry toast all weekend.\ I just got home […]
International Day Of…

An Old Hope
\ by Calamity Jon Morris I think we can all agree… Taft’s our man, or, as I like to call him: 300 pounds of awesome behind a 5 pound mustache.
Comments Are Unbroken
A lovely change in Movable Type caused comments to be sorta really broken for the past week or so. I just now got around to fixing things… so if you tried to post a comment in the past 8, 9 or 10 days and it didn’t work – and you still remember what it was […]
Best Album of the Year: Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
I don’t say this lightly, because there have been some fantastic albums this year already, but David Byrne and Brian Eno’s brand new joint effort Everything That Happens Will Happen Today is unbelievably good. It’s rich, gorgeous and the songs are beautiful. I can’t stop listening to it.\ Don’t believe me? Listen for yourself (especially […]
Dolphin Tour!
My mom came down this weekend and we went on a dolphin tour (Captain Mike’s Dolphin Tour to be exact)! I don’t have time to tell the whole story now, but it was great. It was the perfect length – the boys were just starting to get antsy at the end of it and we […]
