We were latchkey kids. On the weekends Andie and I were left mostly alone - to do chores, homework and keep out of trouble until either Mom or Dad got home.
Saturday mornings rocked. Scooby-Do, Robotech, Looney-Tunes, Thundercats - OMG. I loved cartoons. But after cartoons, my favorite show came on.
Kung Fu Theater.
Every Saturday from 11 […]

roll back the ozone and give me direct sunlight
July 30th, 2008 · No Comments
I love the sun. If there’s a patch of sun, I want to be in it. I love the warmth and that wonderful drowzy feeling you get right before a heat stroke. Nowadays I limit my sun exposure to 1-2 weekends a year. As I get older, I’m getting paranoid about wrinkles and sunspots. It’s […]
she ain’t what she used to be

I’ve been kinda relaxin’ on my already relaxed look since the incident. Needless to say - I’ve been lookin’ kinda homeless.
Check out the streaks of white at my hairline. Bride of Frankenstein goes suburban. So I went to see Laura at the salon this last week and got a cut and color. The color […]
crucible of ennui

I’m in a funk. It must be the post-birthday let down from April. 37 is so much more closer to 40 than 36. I’m not sure I’m looking forward to my 40’s as much as I was my 30’s.
I need to energize and rev myself up for the roller coaster start of summer next weekend. […]
bad driver. BAD.

I’m not the best driver. But to my credit I only hit stationary and inanimate objects. So you’re completely in luck if you’re a person or animal. Not so lucky if you’re a parked car or mailbox.
Two weeks ago I accidently hit an air duct while backing into a parking space in an underground parking […]

Catherine is finally at that magical age where the most socially inappropriate things come out of her mouth. Most of the time she is very considerate of other people and refrains from calling people ugly or silly-looking (unlike her mother).
This self-censoring ceases to exist while in the presence of little people.
At the grocery store where […]

“Who knows. It may work out. She likes flowers and he’s a pansy.”
I love gossip.

Mmm… holiday weekends! I love me some 3-day weekends. I took the opportunity on Sunday to really work on the house and cook. I think the best day for cooking was Sunday.
I started with French Toast. And not the wimpy kind made with sliced sandwich bread… I used that thick cut texas toast. I remembered […]
Male Refrigerator Blindness
February 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Most are familiar with Male Refrigerator Blindness (”MRB”) - the inability of the male to visually identify items within a refrigerator.
Unfortunately few are aware that MRB is at times a precursor to Selective Male Blindness (”SMB”). Scientists have discovered that MRB can progress from a general failure to locate milk, eggs, ketchup and cheese to more extreme […]

Once upon a time, a proud, old king asked his daughters, “How much do you love me?”
“I love you more than gold and silver” one daughter replied.
“I love you more than diamonds and rubies and pearls,” her sister said.
“I love you more than salt,” answered the third daughter.
The king grew angry when he heard this […]
