Don’t Cry For Me Ancient-Madonna

I watch very little television, mostly because I am always at my desk here, not because I don’t like it. I was flipping channels the other day when I was home all alone and found MTV or VH1 – I can’t remember which, one is channel 62 the other is 63… doesn’t matter. Anyway, I [...]

6 Weird Things About Me

as tagged by Sheila Here are six weird-ish things about me. Sheila who just so happens to kick ass tagged me. I was told that I needed a new post for my blog, even though I post at regular intervals… you know, like when I feel like it. So here you go Sheila, this one [...]

Fresco Fiasco

It came to be that I was very thirsty to which only one beverage could quench. I needed beer, stat! In my haste darting through the store I made my way through the meat department. Meat Market indeed, with fine young women discussing the proper handling of bone-in cuts. When the overheard conversations moved to [...]

Take a Knee

My wife and I decided that we just have too much free time. And that any chance we get to sign our children up in an after school activity, regardless of timing – we should do. Who cares if it means endless shuttling of children to a dance class in the next city (two nights [...]

Squeaker Toy Lamaze

I never expected that my wife was capable of doing what she did. Normally when they deliver their children, they are correctly categorized and identified as male or female – apparently they were wrong when they slotted Simon as a boy. My boy, my cherished little man is none other than a squeaky chew toy. [...]

Can I get an “Amen”?

I have friends from pretty much all of the religions I can think of: Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Agnostic, Atheist, Wiccan. I am a Christian, personally, [...]

Arctic Blast From The Past

Rewind back to August and September to a time shortly before Simon was born. We spent the day at the mall, looking at new bedding and “baby things”. We had previously decided that we would have a slight cowboy motif in his room, since I was opposed to safari, underwater and zoo themes. The set [...]

This Kills Me!

This is one of the sadder days I have had to experience – the loss of someone very close to me. If my grandmother were alive today, I know what she would say: “HEY! Let me out! I’m not dead yet!” Thanks to Denise M for this really cool tombstone-picture-maker thingy.

Steamboat Willy Goes to Death Valley

It seems to me like Disney family movies are always focusing in on death and family breakup? You heard me, I’m calling Disney out on the topic, because its been bothering me lately. I don’t lose sleep over it, but by golly I wanna discuss it. Now Disney has a crap load of movies that [...]
