Things have been really tight recently, fiscally speaking. Choosing between mortgage and food for the month kind-of-tight. But recently I’ve come into some work and my mood has lifted. Below is a snippent of a conversation between me (ME) and the wife (TW): ME: Ya know, I’m feeling not so bad… TW: I’ve noticed you’ve […]

9 Years of Awesome
May 14th, 2015
No Comments
Baxter ( aka: Thing 1, Porkbutt, Bugbug, Booger dog, Pickles, Monkey Monster Dog, Pigdog, and Stinkdog ) was 9 years worth of awesome – noisy, destructive, protective, snoringly stinky awesome. It wasn’t enough, but it’ll have to do. Age and diabetes, caught up with our overweight dog. He suffered acute kidney failure, and we believe […]

New sunrise, new year
January 1st, 2012
No Comments
My previous sunrise excursion seemed popular with the locals (the wife, as well as Thing 1 and Thing 2 (Baxter and Pebbles) ) so I thought I would try it again. This time I planned it in advance – and gave the wife fair notice. While the roads to the beach were nearly empty, we […]

Daybreak on Eastern Shores
September 3rd, 2011
No Comments
I was up early and noticed that the sky was lightening in the east, it seems to do that on a daily basis. On a whim, I thought that I should see the sunrise from the beach, it being one of the benefits of living on an eastern coast. I was going to hit the […]

I Don’t Lose It Often…
May 14th, 2010
No Comments
My glasses – yes. The battle with my waistline – a thousand times, yes. My cool? Rarely.

Those blasted elves…
December 11th, 2009
No Comments
I step out for the day and BAM! They sneak into the house and put presents under the tree, drop some ornaments for the tree, then leave. I know as a modern educated liberal, I’m not supposed to think poorly of elves. Elves do what elves do, they can’t help it. Dropping presents, leaving holiday cheer […]

Been on a strict no sugar/starch diet ( aka South Beach Diet, Phase One ) for the past two weeks. Been looking forward to my first taste of real sugar about 3 hours after starting Phase One. Normally, cookies are not a part of Phase 2, but as the cookie is a Kashi TLC Oatmeal […]
