Annoying Lists

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love these blog meme things. It’s like taking the quizzes in Cosmo magazine, painful and possibly relationship-ending. Nonetheless, I’ve been tagged (Thanks Jason! Check your porch for burning paper bags!), so without Read More...

Beyonce and Butterscotch

You will have to forgive me (or thank me) for not writing more lately. I am recovering from a butterscotch-induced coma. My lovely wife Jen was kind enough to bake my favorite cookies last week, butterscotch chip. She made approximately 400 of the delicious Read More...

Hey Kettle, It's Me. You're Black.

Driving down the interstate the other day, we saw a gigantic sign on the right proclaiming: "Median Crossing Prohibited". Of course being a scofflaw, I immediately had to have a look at said median, just in case I might want to break this rule at some Read More...

February (28) Update

Just a little update on how the February (28) program is going. As of yesterday there were 10 days gone in the month and I had 8 posts up for the month. So I am barely, barely keeping a “B” average at 80% (Reminds me of college). We’ll see if I get around Read More...

If I Had Posted Saturday, it Would Have Looked Like This

Well, Super Bowl time is upon us once again. Since I was kind of counting on the Broncos to be in the Superbowl, I have been avoiding thinking about it for the past two weeks. No one wants to see a grown man in a Ron Dayne jersey walking around the office Read More...

Dinner Time

We've been having some trouble lately getting the kids to eat their dinner. My wife is a very good cook, so I don't really understand this. Regardless, the kids will cry, pout, yell, and hold their breath to avoid eating something new. I vary between Read More...
