…when you are not doing much of anything at all. The Boy just left for work and it’s time for me to get my rear end into the shower and go to work myself. Hopefully everyone will show up today. Going back on a Saturday after two days off can sometimes be rough, because all…Read more

Prayer at Rumayla
One thing I don’t believe that I have mentioned before is that my little brother is a writer, and a pretty decent one at that. One of his books that I believe is currently out of print is called ‘Prayer at Rumayla; A Novel of the Gulf War’. He is doing it in an audio…Read more
Check These Bad Boys Out
It’s a pretty crappy picture, but as I mentioned last night when I posted those pics of the girls working on my hair, my batteries crapped out in my camera and I haven’t had the chance to replace them yet. Cell phone pics. Nothing like a pair of shiny new shoes. Just ask Eric. Now…Read more
Devil Knots
There are some things that you always remember about your kids, no matter how much time goes by. When the boy was small, we had these little blue airplane looking things that we put over his shoelaces in order to keep them tied. Eventually they went the way of all things that belong to little…Read more
Small Miracles
When Pete was born in October of 1997 it was a real shocker. Not that she was born, but all that we had to go through. We had gone in to the doctor’s office to get the wife an ultrasound, and they noticed some weird stuff on it, so wanted us to go down to…Read more
Not too bad of a day for a Saturday…
Just got home from work. I ended up having a little bit of help today, so it was a short one for me, which is always nice. The boy is going to play paint-ball and the wife is napping, with Pete at the ballfields, so it is just RePete and myself. Once I have posted…Read more
Monitoring the Kids Online
One thing I set up when the Boy was first starting to get online was a watchdog program so that I could monitor his Internet usage. There are just too many pedophiles and other bad folks out there not to, not to mention the fact that just going to his game sites he can pretty…Read more
PHP Code
Just woke up from my nap. I managed to get about an hour between phone calls and Pete getting home and asking if she could go out and play. My wife calls the girls Pete and RePete, and I am tired of calling them “the oldest girl” so am adopting it. RePete is still sleep,…Read more
Why Am I Still Awake?…
…at 2:30 AM. 22 Hours after I got out of bed last. Good question and one which doesn’t have a real clear answer other than the fact that sometimes I am a dumb ass of the third degree. Actually I have a black belt in dumbassery. I got up at the usual time yesterday, about…Read more
Happy VD Day…
Well, hell with it. Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you suckers out there who are spending their hard earned money on crap that isn’t needed. I suppose there are worse things that you could be doing with it. At least you aren’t like some of the people that have worked for me in the…Read more
