If you’ve been following my twitter at all this week, you’ll have seen that in the last couple of days, I’ve had to endure a tornado related evacuation and an office fire drill, that, given the timing, wasn’t exactly planned. ♬ It’s the End of the Word As We Know It♬ , indeed. We’ll see […]

After being stood up by paving guy number one, and once last night by paving guy number two, the owner of Harrison Paving (that’s company number two) came by this morning, apologized for last night’s mishap, and offered me a good price well within my budget (and should leave me enough left over in the […]

Of course, when one’s alarm clock goes off at 5:40am after such a restful night, one does not wish to leave the peace and comfort of one’s […]

First, let me direct your attention to the photo gallery, where I added a handful of shots from Andrew’s baseball game on Saturday. Shots taken with something other than a cell phone camera, even.

The First of May: (lyrics are not safe for work)

According to teh internets, The incomparable Molly joined Jonathan Coulton and Paul And Storm on stage at a show in Seattle, Washington for a couple of tunes the other night.

Like I said the other day over on the sidebar, I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t just a little bit sick. The latest round is running through the whole family; I’m still stuffy, Colleen and Mary are both out of it…we just keep passing it back and forth. Oh well…music: “Disco Duck” – […]
