Sensing a trend
Tonight, we tangoed. The cats were chasing each other around like bumper cars. It’s snowing again. Work was pretty crazy. How about those Packers, eh? “There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame!” Coffee coffee coffee. Beer beer beer. Wine wine wine. I can’t eat cheese or I’ll fart a lot.… Read.

Rust
I get relatively little spam (knock wood) compared to almost anybody else I know, either at home or at work, and the little junk mail I do get is what you’d normally expect: Invitations to help the crown prince of Namibia transfer millions of dollars out of their country, guarantees to make my manhood more… Read.

The End of the Lazy-Butt New Year’s Holiday
For the past two days I’ve indulged the hell out of myself: I parked my butt on the sofa Friday morning and have done practically nothing since then but drink coffee, read web comics, blog and read books. Just a total slug. And it was good. But things fall apart, as they say, and it’s… Read.

Kitchen Explosion
My Darling B plans to serve a huge turkey with stuffing for dinner today and decided to prepare it by soaking it in a big stock pot filled with a mixture of water, soy sauce, sugar and various herbs. She lined the pot with a big plastic bag and asked me to help her get… Read.

New Year’s Eve
Today’s New Year’s Eve so we get the day off because we’re state workers. It’s one of the benefits that are showered on us like confetti at a hero’s ticker-tape parade. I can’t wait to see how that’s going to change. Watch this space. But for now, we’re enjoying the day off: Sleeping in a… Read.

Beddy-bye
I had almost as much trouble getting into bed last night as I usually do getting into the center seat of a commercial airliner. My Darling B turned in early because she’d been sick for the past few days and has been doing her darndest to get as much sleep as she can. She stayed… Read.

Tap dance
I was trying to get our flat-screen TV to work without the remote, but it had no visible means of control that I could tell, but that couldn’t be. Why would they even make a TV that didn’t have some way to at least turn it on without a remote? So I looked all over… Read.

Jonzin
Yesterday morning I wanted a Pop Tart so bad! I’d been banging away at a pile of paperwork all morning and when my ten o’clock break finally rolled around it was all I could do to beat back the urge (or the desire) to give in and go plug the snack machine for a packet… Read.

Touchdown
Sean called us as soon as he landed in Denver last night to let us know his trip went without a hitch and he was all right. What a good boy. I know B likes to get the all-clear from him whenever he flies home, same as she likes to use her laptop to check… Read.

To Grandmother’s House We Go
We all piled into the car yesterday morning and headed north to the ancestral manse of O to visit my Mom, far away in the snow-covered lands of Waupaca County. Until today’s visit, Mom hadn’t seen the Seanster in over a year, I think, probably not since the summer before last when he came to… Read.
