So what can I do?

Posted on September 1, 2005December 4, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

What can I do when gas prices go to $4? I don’t think I’ll stop driving (although working at home helps tremendously). I can’t go and buy a hybrid car (as much as I might like to). I can’t walk or ride a bike to places (not in a city). I guess one thing that…

I’m not afraid to admit it

Posted on August 27, 2005December 4, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

I pee’d on a church. Well, not “on” a church, but in the bushes, next to a church. But, let me start from the beginning. I have a weekly tradition of going to the Dubliner with Jared and Jason at 4 on Fridays. Typically I’ve have 2 pints of Guinness and smoke my pipe (I’ve…

Stuttering in our steps

Posted on August 10, 2005December 2, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

Days upon days pile on each other, until eventually there is a mountain of things past and little to show for the effort except sullen eyes and stuttering footsteps. This last weekend we had a tremendous time with our friends Kim and Jason at Caesars Creek on the lake. The kids had a blast. Got…

Google Translator is the funny

Posted on July 29, 2005December 2, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

I often get foreign spam mail (I attribute it to my CIVA email account – which in China is the Chinese International Volunteer Association). I occasionally like to open one, and do a translation on it. I came many round, east under the Burma means, had to become vip member? How am I the vegetable…

We went, we saw, we …

Posted on July 29, 2005December 2, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

… had fun (I had no idea what else to say, I’m truly uninspired). We literally Just got back to my parents house about an hour ago (pathetic that I’m on the computer; no? work calls, and the kids are out at Dutch Wonderland with mom and dad). We walked and walked and walked. No…

Off to New York

Posted on July 27, 2005December 2, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

Sonya and I are finally getting away for a few days, without the kids, to NYC for our 10 year anniversary. I’m slightly nervous — as its been years since I’ve been to NYC, or any large city for that matter (excited nervous). So why NYC? It’s the place that Sonya and I met and…

I am robot

Posted on July 22, 2005December 2, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

Yes I have fully matriculated into full robot-dom. Aaron and I have convinced one of Evok’s interns that I am a robot in Cincinnati, set up in a clean room, programmed to interact and learn through instant messenger. Can you say “dumb as a rock”? In all fairness, I often feel like a robot. Doing…

Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day

Posted on July 16, 2005December 2, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

Suddenly the week is gone (and I didn’t exactly tear up with the four times a day updates – but I’ve been busy). I’ve been thinking about legacy. When my bones mix into the dust of the earth what memories or stories that grow and endure the weather? I’ve not yet written that great novel…

Why do you hate us Mr. Trashman? Why?

Posted on July 13, 2005December 2, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

So we’ve been here only 2 weeks which means its hardly enough time to call this a “continual” issue, but so far Mr. Trashman – also called Rumpke – has yet to pick up our trash. Last week we had quite a bit on the curb. We had even called about a special pick up…

Dissatisfaction

Posted on July 12, 2005December 2, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

There was a quote I heard in church that has had my brain turning. The basic ache we all have for something more … without knowing exactly what it is we want but knowing we have no attained it. “Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exist. A baby feels hunger;…
