Anyone who knows me knows I must have an opinion on this topic but I’m gonna wait for a bit more meat to make itself available before jumping in. For now, I’ll hang out on the lawn chair and watch the news makers. I believe we have a little preview of what’s to [...]

You may have read about my old pet rat last month. I took care of him but just recently a little field mouse decided he’d like to come try his luck at the “there’s only room for one of us in The Garage” game. I’m surprised that more varmints haven’t taken refuge because, [...]

Sister Mo is out of town for the Thanksgiving weekend and yesterday she asked if I would go to her place to feed her fish and put her garbage cans out on the curb. The trucks come early ’round these parts so you really should get the cans out on the previous day. [...]

If you’re interested in thoughts on movie/music pricing, you’ll enjoy Joel’s [...]

As I wrote last year, Veteran’s Day for me means taking the time to actually thank our Vets and contemplate further the meaning of their service. It’s worth republishing a small quote from a WWII Vet who said: “This man who came to save me died. He gave up all of his tomorrows so [...]

I don’t typically take a “lunch break” but since I work from home (in The Garage) I find myself jetting inside for a 5 minute burst of fun with the kids or to put Ben down for a nap, change a diaper or whatever.
Today Ben was ready for a nap and Kerri was on her [...]

I feel like the Wicked Witch of the West, just having a bucket of water tossed on me. First, Winter seems to be making her presence known which means no more tee shirt, shorts and flip-flops for work attire. It’s like I’ve been transported to Narnia and the White Witch is working her [...]

I should have started writing some of this stuff down last week but work and general laziness got in the way.
Brother Pat and his wife Rana went on a trip to Texas last week and they left one of their girls with us. Emma stayed with Grandma while Megan stayed with us. The [...]
