  • My Bonk Account Has a Dent in It

    Well, today at almost exactly noon we got into a car accident.  By that I mean someone rear-ended our Honda.  Ironically we were rear-ended about the same place that someone backed into our car [that’s a guess] in a hit & run some years back.  However, this time due to the motion and non motion…

  • Barry Bonds Did NOT Tie Babe Ruth

    To my knowledge the famed baseball player Babe Ruth (after which the candy bar was named, and also after which my daughter Abby’s middle name was not derived) still holds the record for most home runs hit without steroid usage.  I could be all wrong.  Maybe the Babe secretly injected himself with hormones, steroids or…

  • Happy Day After Mothers Day!

    Howdy you mothers, fathers, children, siblings and folk.  This mothers day we went to Maggiano’s for dinner.  Whoa.  That was a mistake.  Not because it was bad, but because it was too good.  I will no longer be able to go to the Olive Garden and think, “This is descent Italian food.”   I will have…

  • My Force Field Blocked Your Mega-Lazer

    I was just thinking about my childhood.  For some people that would be a bad thing, but I think mine was pretty cool.  I remember distinctly digging in my friend’s mom’s garden with him so that our G.I. Joe’s could have bases & forts.  We never actually got around to playing with the G.I. Joe’s…

  • Best Tacos of the Year Award

    Last night we had some fantastic tacos at our friends house.  Which sort of reminds me of this.  Anyway, they were really, really good and I think they were surely the best tacos I have had this year.  As a stinky cono-sewer of tacos, I can say that this is a prestigious award that few…

  • Poll Skewer

    Yesterday I had a man with a clipboard gingerly ask me if I would be willing to take a survey.  He identified himself as being with a group for equality something or other.  The survey was about how people felt about homosexuality.  Except they didn’t really want to know how I felt, they wanted yes…

  • Colorado Springs & One Year

    This weekend we went to Colorado Springs and had a great time.  I’ve uploaded pictures to Flickr.com.  Of course there aren’t any of the girls… yet.  But they’re coming.   We ate at P.F. Chang’s again.  Too.  Much. Food.  But it was tasty and I’ll do it again when I have fasted for 2 days before.…

  • Home Made Chicken Dinner

    After eating out for so much of this week last night I had a tasty chicken dinner over at Dave’s place.  His lovely bride, Darlene, made a tasty meal.  I got to meet and spend some time with Dave’s mom as well.  All was lovely, including his little girls who are almost as cute as…

  • Es Ist Einen Nasal Passage

    My nose and nasal passages have been all sorts of funky with allergies.  The plane ride had pressure inside of my head that was crazy.  I haven’t acclimated to the change in elevation yet and things are ringing… and no, Becky, they are not phones that I’m hearing ringing.   Speaking of which cell phones don’t…

  • Is There a Bed in Texas?

    Tonight was a tough night to put Abby to bed. You see in the morning (or before the morning in my normal sleeping schedule) I will leave for Dallas/Fort Worth. Abby is quite sad that I’m leaving and has been crying upstairs for a while. It is tough to endure that crying, but it must…
