Today’s WTF Moment

Friday, March 25th, 2005

I noticed this article in the Sub-Standard, because I'm interested in news that affects families, since I have one. Family, that is. Jake Zeiss bolts from his west LA bungalow before 8 a.m., red hair damp and shirttail flapping. After seven hours of back-to-back meetings, he volleys for an hour with ...

Tattoo an “S” on my Forehead

Saturday, March 5th, 2005

Without going into a lot of details, we recently stumbled into a situation where we found out that a cat had been "adopted," but only from Monday-Friday. The cat was (more or less) fed and taken care of during the work week. After 5 o'clock on Friday, though, it was ...

Is this thing on? Hello? Long time, no post, huh? Let's round up the usual suspects: too much to do, too little time for blogging. So, what's new in the world? It looks like the Democrats gained control of the governorship and both houses of the legislature. Good on ya, fellas! ...

Might As Well Make It Official

Sunday, November 14th, 2004

Some of you already know this, but I thought it worth mentioning here. On or around our 11th wedding anniversary (6/11/05), a new member of the VRWC will be joining our indoctrination center household. Pretty cool, huh? No idea how that happened. Side note to reader and commentor Dani: ...

Veterans Day Salute

Thursday, November 11th, 2004

I don't have a lot to say about it, but I'd like to express my sincere thanks to those of you who have served, or are serving in our armed forces. Bloggers (that I know of) who are currently in the service, or have served. If I left you off ...

This Boggles my Mind

What great news this is. 23 weeks, folks. I remember when the CW said that any births earlier than 26 weeks were not viable.

The 3-Year Old 133t H@x0R

Monday, September 20th, 2004

Yesterday, I was working on a machine that was a castoff from $LARGE_CORPORATION, so I booted it up and found that Windows NT Server 4.0 was installed on it. My son was "helping" me by sneaking up on me, and randomly swatting the keyboard when I wasn't paying attention. Side ...

Decade

Friday, June 11th, 2004

It's that time of year to take some time to reflect on the sadness of Nicole Brown Simpson's unfortunate choice to hang out with "shady people," and OJ's inability to find the Real Killers™, even though he has painstakingly searched every golf course in Florida. OK, you can stop now. A ...
