baby!

| October 6, 2011

Not that I’ve been blogging much lately in general… but we just had son/baby#3 on the 26th of September, so that’s been keeping me a little more occupied than normal. 8lbs 4oz, healthy.  Long labor, lots of work for my wife (natural birth :) ).  I just tried to help out and be supportive.  Truly [...]

“… maybe it’s the Champion…”

| September 7, 2011

Some context first: Who, where: Me, at Lowe’s, looking for a replacement toiler flapper (new vocabulary word for the day) & shower head. Who else: The guy that said it. About what: In reference to my toilet!   (Trying to figure out the model…) I know I’m not getting this across just right… but the way [...]

vomit and brackish water and old bedcovers

| July 2, 2011

So there’s some kind of… well, I don’t want to call it a leak because I can’t find a single goddam thing LEAKING… so we’ll call it an “emanation”.   There’s some kind of a water emanation in our basement.  I would think it was coming up from the floor but uh … there are no [...]

on losing weight

| June 30, 2011

So, I lost some weight (10-15lbs, depending on when and how you measure) over the last couple of months.  Some of this was due to a diet was on for a week (yes, only a week) – not a diet intended to cause weight loss but one probing for dietary issues that may be related [...]

$#$#$ing orange juice

| June 11, 2011

Seriously.  I would have never imagined 3/4 a cup of orange juice could make such a mess. I’m sure I’ll be finding dried orange juice in strange places for the next year. I slipped and fell down the basement stairs.  Well, maybe one slip, one fall then another slip. I don’t know, I kind of [...]

Historically inaccurate

| June 5, 2011

Maybe in their world there was some kind of bloody invasion?   The least they could do is change the sign.  And since when do elves life in Smurf houses?  There’s been some crazy shit going on there….

6 years at the (same) desk

| April 21, 2011

This week I had my 6 year anniversary at my current job. Which feels a little bit old man crazy.  I mean, that’s not even that long, right?  Still, it’s longer than I’ve worked anywhere else by a huge margin and yet another reminder of time creeping by. Thankfully, it’s not longer than I spent [...]

Welcome to the Unofficial Month of Blogging, Now with “Things people never ask me”

| April 1, 2011

I figured I’d start off Unofficial Month of Blogging (UMOB!  U-mob? Bom-u?) by dredging up and finishing my oldest post draft (from Jan ’10) and finding a way to post links to lots of old posts.   I think I was probably going for something humorous, but I think I lost that track, so I’ll [...]

IBS & me

| February 16, 2011

So.  Anyone that knows me “in real life” (and many that know me digitally) knows that I have “IBS”.  I put it quotes because I’m not exactly convinced it’s a real thing.  I mean, it’s definitely a catchall, but for me that might not be enough. What I mean by that is this: “IBS” is, [...]

One weird thing about not posting

| December 27, 2010

is that I’ve been thinking about posts I’d like to make a lot more. Unfortunately, most of them are going to be a bit time consuming to put together… which just kinda drives me off.  I do have one I’ve been working on for the last few weeks that will probably go up tonight. I [...]
