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….

Dubai may be going the way of Detroit…except on a different kind of scale.  (Should we call it “Dubait” if that happens?) Check out this story for a dose of serious reality.- This article marks the first place I’ve seen the phrase “the Noughties” – which I fear will become the phrase for this decade. [...]

local recordstore is getting snooty when they fail to list Bruce Springsteen’s new album on their new releases list.  Because, you know, he doesn’t have many fans left, probably won’t sell many records, or whatever.  They had Franz Ferdinand and some other random indie band on the list for today. As of today (27th) the [...]

Life continues. My back is feeling a lot better…I think thanks at least in part to “cupping” (seriously).  OK, it was nowhere near that cool – but it was the same principle.  Little metal cup, air gets sucked out of it, sucking blood up to the surface of your back.  Or whatever.  Afterwards your back [...]

The pictures with less snow are from yesterday, when it was just getting started.  We don’t have as many from today because it’s hard to get out there & get around…Jen just took the trash out (down the back stairs), and that was a mini-adventure.  She did get to break in her new snow boots [...]

So one of the joys of old houses is (obviously) sewers!! When we bought this one, the inspectors found a problem with the main sewer line – ratholes and the like (Portland is evidently overrun with sewer rats).  So the sellers paid for the repair of course BUT we had to wait potentially 6 months [...]

The first: I saw this dude (who had rather creepy posture) while I was waiting for the bus the other day.  I didn’t get a chance to see his sign – I really wish I had.  I wonder if it says something like “Need $$: lost/stolen bike!”  Oh, and don’t forget the “God bless!” at [...]

Fun thing you can do on vacation: spend almost 2 hours getting your son to stay asleep, as opposed to home when you would have dropped him off in his crib 100 minutes ago and been done with it. Currently I’m drinking: vodka, ice, water, kahlua with a ritz cracker (yes, in the glass).  It’s [...]

Last night I passed out on accident and woke up at midnight…too late for a blog. Trying to remember what we did yesterday…everything is so hazy.  I believe that we got up in the morning & went swimming – J & Z in the pool and I went snorkeling a bit in the bay/cove just [...]
