Pow! Zap! Zonk!

Awright, so I’ve succumbed and am hopping on the

bandwagon. Yeah, the thread has been creeping up everywhere but it’s still kinda fun. I think I first caught wind of it via Caroline who had come to it via MF. It’ll be blogged to death, to be sure…but it’s good to know I’ve got [...]

Hermitude

More and more I’m realizing how much I’ve let my friendships slide, in favor of solitude. Well, if you can call it that…what with the little man around and all. And a certain someone. So perhaps in favor of seclusion rather than solitude. I realize I don’t make the effort I used to. I [...]

Technicolor Headache

The little man and I both like The Beatles a great deal. Who doesn’t? I recall viewing their films when I was a child. The fuzziest recollections are of “Yellow Submarine“. I mostly remember that I watched it at my grandmother’s. At some point in the late 70’s. On her ancient television (which probably [...]

Shake Your Moneymaker

Damn, August is already bringing in the cool stuff. First off, the benefit party for the EFF on the 22nd. The highlight of which will be Wil Wheaton vs. Barney duking it out in a boxing match. Aww yeah. (I won’t be able to attend, but I really should donate.) And Minneapolis is hosting [...]

Abecedarian

I love convergence. Yesterday’s word of the day arrived in my inbox…just as I was thinking about how nicely the little man’s rendition of the alphabet song is coming along.

Slow Improvement

We can put it past us now. The month that was up to no good. Plagued by unfortunate circumstances. Mired in mishaps. The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad umm, month. Well, you get the idea. July is now over. And I’m looking forward to what August will bring us. Even if it’s not [...]
