All growed up…
#1 son is going to be 16 next month. But he’s always going to be the two-year-old who literally climbed up me trying to get away from a bunch of amorous (or hungry) ducks. Today I found this on his debit card statement: Now it used to be the most common “Merchant Name” I’d see [...]
Home again home again…
“Home again, home again…”
Manual Labor…
Just a quick note… My kids are driving me nuts about school… Especially my 9 year old… This weekend, I have a GREAT idea… I have a pile of rocks in my back yard.. I’m going to ask him to move them from one side of the yard to the other. When he’s done with [...]
On Christmas…
Sparkles! It’s been a long time since I’ve felt good about Christmas… Maybe I’m finally growing up, or not growing up. Finding the inner child that was slaughtered so many years ago. Christmas was never a happy time growing up. Oh there were the usual trappings, trees, lights, presents, etc, as-nauseaum, But it was never [...]
Week 26…
Thank gods it’s halfway over. Thank god I still have six months to go. As illogical as it seems, there are reasons behind this seemingly conflicting statement. This week I’m closing out week #26 of this consulting gig. The one that has me flying across country, the one that keeps me from my kids. Originally [...]
They’re not allowed to grow up…
Don’t screw around and miss the time with your kids. It’s golden, and once it’s gone it’s gone.
A good weekend…
You know… it’s weekends like the one I spent right before I left for Seattle that make me remember that despite everything, life is good. Started out on Friday by taking the day off. Well not “off” but “work from home” without any actual work-from-home to do. So coffee with the wife, turned into a [...]
Dear Teenager…
I’ve wiped your butt, cleaned up your puke, held you when you were sick, taught you to swim, and this is how you thank me…
The Times they are a-changin’
It’s funny, but I always get this funny look when I talk about technology being alive, evolving, and maybe even slightly sentient. We dumped cable TV today. And it got me to thinking on how certain technologies just become obsolete after a while. We did it because the only ones who watched TV in our [...]
Photographic Memory sucks…
My brain is *SUCH* an asshole. I have a photographic memory, but I have *ZERO* control over it. I recall the strangest stuff but usually can’t remember where I left my keys. I had another life. Before this one. Before the kids, before my wife (well, after her, but before this iteration.) I was married [...]
