The names have been changed to protect the innocent – and I make to warranty to the validity of the religious information contained herein – I was just talking out my ass. So imagine this just a two-day old IM between me and Turbo from Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. Other names have been changed to [...]
Two Fools For Sister Sara
October 10, 2006 by Douglas · Leave a Comment
A long-long time ago I only had one kid. Her name was Sara, and still is. But for about two years it was just her and us parents. She was our world, and the apple of our eye. Unfortunately back then she was very prone to getting colds and ear infections. She was also pretty [...]

Well it’s officially over. I staged a coup and we overthrew the planned menu for this evening, and we skated off to Red Robin.

After my afternoon break, I meandered back to my desk, and as I sat down I felt the slightest tickle on my hand. At the same time I thought I saw a gnat or something on my hand also. Maybe the sight of the little fella made me only think I felt something. I turned [...]
Irrelevant Irreverence

Is the title of this blog a double negative? Does it really mean relevant reverence? Whatever. I am going to take a light-hearted look at my Sunday at church. You are welcome to leave if you are afraid I will try and convert you to my Holier than thou religion. Today is Sunday and I [...]
