Today is Abigail’s first date. I know, I know – she’s only six, but it is 2006 so you need get with the times. Ok, its not a real date but she is going with her friend Austyn (from her school) to see Dragon Tales Live at US Bank Arena downtown. My fatherly instincts have…
Read MoreAnd I’d danced like the king of the eyesores
So, I’ve been consumed by this photography thing lately. Obsessed more like it. Since buying the 20D I feel I’ve learned quite a bit, and gotten better. Yesterday I made an excursion to a the corner of Route 48 and 22 to take some shots of the 2 abandoned houses. These are few of the…

I wish I could say I eagerly roll out of bed every morning, ready to start the day singing or something, but let’s just say I at least roll out of bed within 15 minutes of waking up (Paul may tell you otherwise, but he does\’t really know what I’m doing up there). It’s dark…
Read MoreDear Anal-retentive Malady,
I can understand not bending the rules so as to keep civil order. I can understand setting standards so that there is reasonable expectation upon citizens and their mail habits. But you are the dictator of the post service and you make me weep in pissed-off-ed-ness. I left 2 Netflix DVD envelops in our mail…

Happy New Years to all of you our friends (and family)! Here’s to remember to write ‘06 (I know it’ll take me at least a week). If 2006 is as wonderful as 2005, then it will be an absolutely amazing year.
Read MorePlease God, let this ‘vacation’ be over …
… possibly in the next 3 days, before I kill the kids. This long with them together, with no school or (real) breaks from each other (and us) makes them … slightly … annoying. Very annoying actually. The punching. The fighting. The pulling. The pushing. And the crying. And then there’s the kids …
Read MoreWhat just happened here – a year in reflection
The idea of remembering the year gone by appeals to me more and more the older I get — mostly because I forget most everything that has happened. So, I’d like to reflect on the year (nearly) gone by — because I’m old and nostalgic that way. Sit back, relax and be prepared to read…
Read MoreFOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
Dear Lady at the 8pm showing of King Kong, Next time you decide to bring your young son to a three hour movie that is really not for young kids, THINK AGAIN. Would it hurt you that much to be a little less damn selfish and stay home if you can’t get a sitter?! Your…
