I went out with the guys last night. Yeah, me. Do you believe it? It was supposed to be a going-away shindig for my manager who’s retiring and moving off the Missouri to do nothing (that’s what he says anyway… don’t believe him). It ended up being a congratulations party for the guy who took […]

I have a lot of
I have a lot of thoughts about what’s going on in the world, but there are currently too many people using their first amendment rights at the moment. When they’re done, I’ll say something important. Until then, it’s trite drivel and useless crap about my life! I know, you can’t contain your joy, can you?
Running With Your Head Down
In the spirit of what I said yesterday, here’s something I noticed yesterday. I let Max run around outside without his shoes on. There’s just something idyllic about little boys with bare feet running in the grass. The problem with this is our neighborhood is filled with large pet dogs who crap in the grass. […]
I’ve created an account of
I’ve created an account of our Risk game on Sunday… probably only interesting to the fam. You’re welcome to look at it though, if only to get a glimpse of my amazing photographic talents.
My favorite non-uncle uncle is
My favorite non-uncle uncle is retiring from his column @ Salon.com. This saddens me, as it was always well written, funny, and provided some more insight into a man I only knew through the radio. As I said before, he’s the kind of man I want as an uncle. He sounds like a guy you […]
oh boy
So, day one of my two-day sanity check: Woke up a little after normal time so I could watch Max so Jen could do church stuff. Watched Max all morning, played and tickled and laughed. Put Max down for a nap. Ate leftovers for lunch (from the FAB-U-LOUS roast from Sunday – want the recipe? […]
Unknown Origins
My mom’s into genealogy (I know I spelled that wrong – don’t care – you’ll see why later). Through contacts in the family, and lots of research, she’s traced our ancestors back to the 1600s on her side, and to the 1700s on my dad’s. I hate to shock anyone who knows me, but I’m […]
Saturday: Ha-cha-cha
Yeah, baby, it’s Saturday! We’re taking it easy, watching bad made-for-TV movies and eating fast food. I did get something done: I went to Burlington Coat Factory and found some sweeeet Hawaiian shirts on sale. Yum-may. I’m taking a couple days off next week to recharge. After the past few weeks of edge-of-the-seat sitting and […]
I don’t want to do this
I don’t want to do this… I don’t want my blog to become one of those “I hate my job” daily tirades, but this week, I do. I’m tired of feeling overworked and under siege by project managers. How many project managers does ONE project need? Now, instead of dealing with one person who asks […]
I used to fancy myself an artist
I used to fancy myself an artist. I considered becoming a medical illustrator, and held this dream that I could become a fantastically popular (if not talented) comic book artist. I took an advanced figure drawing class my freshman year of college, and got an A. I thought that’s what I really wanted to do. […]
