End of Silence

We actually watched most of the super bowl last night. The game was pretty boring, but there were one or two decent commercials. I dug the baboons Sierra Mist commercial and the Terry Tate Reebok commerical was priceless. Go here for an extended version of the commercial. You have to register an email address, but [...]

I’ve definitely railed on this topic in the past and may have even posted about it. Here’s yet another incident, this one local, of an oldster hitting the wrong pedal and plowing into a structure and/or some people. There should be a mandatory driving exam every year for anyone over the age of 65 who [...]

I finally updated the picture of the week for The La. We haven’t taken any new ones of The Boy since Xmas, so I dug up one of him playing ping pong and Pascal and Sybil’s annual party this past December.
I went to see Narc on Saturday night with R., hAndy, Casey and Butter. It [...]

I’m not usually one to talk politics. It usually degenerates into a debate that goes nowhere as most people are set in their views and unwilling to concede to any other opinion. Current events, however, are moving me to be a little more vocal. I realize that actions speak louder than words, but it’s a [...]

I’ve been getting hounded recently for not updating the picture of the week for either kid. If you’ve been keeping up, we were all sick just after xmas, so the opportunity didn’t really present itself to take new pictures and we still haven’t taken any. However, I did finally attempt importing video from our camera [...]

If anyone needed any proof that we’re all going to hell, this is it. Of course, Fox is leading the way. Jon Stewart had a pretty funny commentary on this on the Daily Show last night. Damn, that show is funny. Anyway, I’m not a big fan of reality TV (except the Osbournes), but I [...]

Check out this article about the Kenner Star Wars toys from the 70’s. I’m busy kicking myself for not keeping that “Early Bird ” package intact for all the money it fetches these days. I remember waiting for it and I distinctly remember getting it in the mail. I had totally forgotten about that weird [...]

I forgot to mention that the other cool thing about the new photo albums is that you have the opportunity to get a print of any picture you see in the albums via Shutterfly. If you go to any enlarged photo view, there’s a link on the upper right that says “Print on Shutterfly”. It’ll [...]

Chronology of last night, keeping in mind that The La and I are both sick and The Wife was working. Also, it was an extremely windy night and we’ve had a lot of rain recently.

10pm
The La falls asleep and I put her on her stomach in the middle of our bed.

10:30pm
The Wife leaves for work.

11pm
The [...]

We survived last night. I’m about to lose my voice and The La’s drooling buckets. The La and I were in bed before The Wife left for work at 10:15 last night. My only indication that the new year had arrived was being woken up by my neighbor’s own private fireworks show. I did manage [...]
