Reading back over this blog as I sometimes do I realized that I tend to talk a bit more about the Gman than I do about C. I suppose that’s pretty normal seeing as G is 3 1/2 and C is almost 2. That being said, I certainly don’t want you to think that C doesn’t get in on the action as well. Last weekend he did a GREAT job of reminding us that he’s just as much “little boy” as his older brother.
Incident #1
Bath time for C & G. Both boys were stripped down and waiting for… Continue reading
Luckily I work in an office environment where jeans are acceptable work attire. That said I wear them most days (when I don’t have a client meeting) and I had a thought cross my mind this morning – over or under?
Most of my jeans have these tags along the belt line. Many brands give you the option of putting your belt under the tag so you can still see it. I’ve always been one to thread the belt under but I found myself wondering if this was normal (these are the kinds of thoughts that keep me from… Continue reading
Warning: This is going to be one sappy post.
One of the really crappy things about growing up is that people have a tendency to move away from one another and friendships are tested. It becomes hard work sometimes to maintain a friendship (though Facebook has made it easier to keep in touch). I’m happy to say that Pip and I have never had that problem.
A couple of weeks back I headed out for my (nearly) yearly trip to Indy to spend the weekend with Pip (and now the lovely Lauren). I got in town on Friday evening just… Continue reading
I’m sure the title of this post alone will get me all kinds of SPAM comments, but I’m willing to take the risk to get something off my chest.
Who in the hell thought this costume was a good idea?
This is an officially licensed product available from Star Wars Shop. That tells me that there was not only a product designer but also someone from Lucas Film that looked at this costume and said, “Yep – looks good. It’s approved.” Am I the only one that thinks this is a super inappropriate? I suppose there’s some market out… Continue reading
I leave the house at exactly the same time every morning (give or take 2 or 3 minutes). The morning routine is the same:
- Get ready for work
- Talk to the G-man
- Get milk for the boys
- Take dog out
- Kiss G & Mom goodbye
- Head out
For some reason, my commute time in the last couple of weeks has gone up by about 10 or 15 minutes. The obvious culprit is that school is back in session now. But here’s my question… where the hell does everyone go in the summer? I mean sure I know that kids aren’t… Continue reading
Obama Wins The Nobel Peace Prize… Um… OKaaay
First off… let me assure you that this is not a politically charged rant. 406 is essentially a politics free zone and I intend on keeping it that way. Whether I’m left, right, black or white is pretty irrelevant. When it comes to your politics you’ve got your opinion and I’ve got mine. Nothing I say will change that.
That said… President Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize this morning. All politics aside, I’ve got to say… what… the… FUCK??? First off, I was under the impression that this award was given to an individual who made great… Continue reading →
