I was sitting here in an idle moment between watching zombie videos and wondering what I would wear to work this morning, because I am such a fashion plate that I have to plan how I’m going to dress up. Just kidding. I’m a guy. I put on the first shirt that passes the sniff… Read.

carriage
The internet: The sum of all human knowledge at your fingertips. You can find anything there. And yet … I have a manual typewriter made by the Royal Typewriter Company. I’m trying to find out how to take the carriage off so I can give it a thorough cleaning. I asked The Mighty Google: “Remove… Read.

I’ve been to House On The Rock once before we went on our family outing last week with Sean. Many, many moons ago, when I was just a dorky beanpole teenager instead of a dorky beanpole middle-aged guy, my mom and dad stopped there during a family vacation, probably a weekend camping trip, but to… Read.

My Darling B has a notebook computer that doesn’t work very well. It used to, back in the first few months after she bought it, but then it slowed down, slower and slower until she updated the operating system from Vista to Windows 7. By then it was running so slowly that took the better… Read.

deluge
It rained again yesterday evening, not regular rain but scary rain, the kind that comes down sideways in thick sheets and made me think that we might be on the front page of a few newspapers in the morning.

My Darling B and I took Sean on a day trip to see The House On The Rock yesterday. “It’s something everyone has to do when they go to Wisconsin, and we haven’t done it yet,” she explained. So, in spite of a tiny bit of reluctance I may have detected from Sean, we jumped… Read.

magic
It rained! For the first time since, I think, May, it rained! Not much, and not for very long, and all traces of it were dried up and gone about an hour later, but for a while it was pretty magical, so much so that My Darling B went out on the patio and stood… Read.

Alien
We all crowded around the television screen last night to watch Alien because we found out Sean has never seen it. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? A couple nights ago after dinner we were sitting around talking about all the things that were wrong with Promethus again, and after one of us compared it to… Read.

tripped
I’m wide awake, and I don’t know why. Well, I sort of know why. I think it might have something to do with the air conditioning running all night. It doesn’t usually bother me but after two o’clock last night I woke up every freaking time it kicked in until I got up at three… Read.

pints
I check out the shelves of the thrift store at Saint Vincent de Paul’s at least once a week. It’s just a few blocks from the office where I work and I need to get out of that office and take a walk every day or my head will asplode and the cleaning crew hates… Read.
