An Unexpected Trip

By On February 25, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Pics From 406

I’m sorry to say that I had to make a very unexpected and sad trip back to Indiana yesterday.  Pip’s Mom who I will always remember as Swami lost her battle with cancer and passed away on Saturday morning.

I’m happy to say that there were literally hundreds of people there to celebrate this wonderful [...]

Thinking About Swami

By On February 18, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Pics From 406

Going to drop out of “character” here for a moment and just write…  As you know one of my best friends on this earth is Pip and I love him like a brother.  That love extends to his family and especially his mom who I affectionately refer to as “Swami”.

To make a long story [...]

The Essence Of College

By On February 15, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Pics From 406

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Pic From 406 and I figured this was just the thing to “get me back in the game” so to speak.  While we’re much more mature and grown up these days (OK maybe not all of us) I ran across this picture on the hard [...]

“The Book Of General Ignorance” – Everything You Think You Know Is Wrong

By On February 11, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Book Reviews

I picked this one up at the library after hearing about it on Kevin Smith’s Smodcast a while back.  I’m kind of a trivia junkie so I figured I’d really enjoy this.  Essentially (as the tile suggests) these are little nuggets of information that are pretty much universally thought of as “truth” when in reality [...]

The Plate-Wearing Fork Thrower

By On February 9, 2010 · 1 Comment · In Kids Do The Damndest Things

G got done with breakfast early this morning and went off to get ready for school.  Mom went upstairs to get herself ready so Super Dad was left to contend with the C-man who wasn’t quite finished with his waffles (complete with powdered sugar).

I turned my back for a second (stupid move dad) [...]

What’s For Dinner?

By On February 5, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Kids Do The Damndest Things

From the “I couldn’t make this up” file.

As I was talking to the G-man this morning I asked him what he wanted to eat for dinner.  Like it was no big thing, he calmly replied, “Broccoli and champagne”.

That’s my boy.

Harry Hamlin Made Me Smile (in 2010)

By On February 4, 2010 · 4 Comments · In Random Stuff, Videos

Me, not unlike other guys my age, grew up watching certain movies over and over and over again. Whenever they were on TV, no matter what point you caught them you would probably finish watching until the credits began to roll. One of these movies for me was “Clash of the Titans“. I [...]

Robert Langdon Is Back In “The Lost Symbol”

By On February 3, 2010 · 2 Comments · In Book Reviews

As the cover says, The Lost Symbol is written by Dan Brown (author of The DaVinci Code).  Many people believe this is Brown’s third book overall, but in fact it’s merely the 3rd book in the “Robert Langdon Trilogy” (it’s actually Brown’s 5th novel).

NOTE: This review will contain spoilers.

Like The DaVinci Code [...]

Bend Some Bullets With “Wanted”

By On February 2, 2010 · 1 Comment · In Movie Reviews

Being that I’m a comic nerd and a fan of assassin movies I’m pissed that it took me so long to get to this one.  I’ve never read the comic that this flick is based on but I figured that wouldn’t be a problem as it’s “loosely” based on the book from what I hear.
