I've posted a new page, my "wishlist," to the top of the page here. It's mainly a wishlist of my tech goodies and gadgets. I'll update the list as things go along, but for now, there it is. What's on your wishlist?

Watched some football. Ate too much. Tossed the pigskin around. Stayed up until 2am playing the Wii with Carey's half-brother and a friend of the family. All in all, a total success. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well.

I am no more. Suffice to say a lack of discipline from the coach made the decision to stop wasting my time an easy one. On the way to the airport to pick up Jeff yesterday, I called the father of the one boy on the team about whom I had a lot of good […]

I like to write something every day, but today's post: poof!

My pinky fingers are permanently "bent." They are this way because the second bone in my pinky fingers is not quite fully formed (nor will it ever be). Because of this, the last little bone in my pinky fingers "leans" to the side. According to my mom, my fingers were X-rayed and my doctor wrote […]

I like to write something every day, but today's post: poof! Gone permanently.

My wife returned from Ohio yesterday. Of the 36-hour "niceness" period, I have only about 12 remaining, and approximately eight of those will be spent sleeping.

I'm starting to dread the words "How about this…" They're always the beginning of an attempt at bargaining by the Little One who runs around this house (and who would like to think she commands the house). What's worse, her counter-offers are never even close to fair. A few such exchanges: Parent: Eat five more […]

I've said before and I'll say again that nobody really close to me has ever died. I was not terribly close to my paternal grandma or grandmother. I can't fathom being 80+ and knowing that your time is coming soon as you watch your brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, and perhaps even your children (or theirs) […]

Carey's grandfather passed away a few hours ago after breaking his hip last year and suffering a series of minor strokes in April. It was a relatively short (when compared to other life-ending illnesses) decline, and for that I believe Carey and the rest of her family are relatively happy. Though I'm not the religious […]

Carey got Brain Age, the Nintendo DS "game," from her brother today and we had some difficulty in playing it. Though I'm "fast as a train" at the math problems, I was only at a "bicycle" level on the "say the color of the word" test. The game, as played on a DS Lite, doesn't […]

Last year, I had a QotD as my only post on the day of my wedding. I didn't get around to writing about getting married until four days later. Well, it's now a year later and I'm still married. Whew! 😉

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Why can't my barber (Mike Greene of "Tom Greene" on 38th Street here in Erie) cut my hair short enough on top? I tell him "one inch" and it's 1½ inches. I want short hair, dangit! It'll grow back if you make a mistake on the short side, but a mistake on the long side […]

Recently, the little one has had a hard time taking naps or going to bed at night. Today, for example, we put her into bed at about 2pm for her nap. After coming downstairs, pooping twice, peeing several times, painting her nails, getting cards off the top of her dresser, and just about doing everything […]
