Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Charley!

Puerto Rico

My family has finally decided on summer vacation. After months and months of arguing and bickering, we came to a conclusion. And that conclusion, as you might have guessed from the title of the post, is Puerto Rico. It is actually a little more complicated than that. On a Friday in July everyone besides me [...]

I Never Thought The Day Would Come

I’ve been waiting to post something about this, but since they have both updated their facebook profiles, I feel like it is now allowed. Most of you know, but some of you may not know, but Phil and Helen are now engaged. That’s right. Engaged. Like, to get married. Phil. Helen. Going to get married. [...]

Congratulations

Tonight Abby graduates from high school. That definitely seems like a big deal. Or really, in all honesty, a moderately important deal. We’ll talk again after college. But still, congrats!

Nathan Indiana Halley Jones

As some of you may be aware there is a new Indiana Jones movie coming out tonight. Because of this I’ve gone back and been watching the first three movies, to gear up and get my head in the right place. And in the movies, Indiana Jones is an archaeologist who travels the world having [...]

Birthday

I want to thank everyone who made my birthday last Friday good. It was a pretty damn good birthday, if I do say so myself. Even if I didn’t get a theremin.

New Songs

I absolutely love the song “Hold Me Now” by the Thompson Twins. AB-SO-FRICKIN-LUTELY LOVE it. I will listen to it over and over and over and over. It is just that damn good. But even a song that damn good gets old. So if any readers out there know of songs that are exactly like [...]

Dumbest Idea Ever

Apparently someone at cnn.com got it in their head that people out there want t-shirts that have the various headlines from the site printed on them. I don’t understand this. Who sees a news headline and decides that they want to own a piece of clothing with that on it? Right now you can get [...]

Twitter

You may notice, if you scroll down on the right, that there is a little window thingy that is displaying my current “twitter” status. Basically twitter is like a mini-blog, so I update it with random thoughts. Check it out.

Happy Mother’s Day – A Day Late

I should have posted this yesterday, but honestly I don’t get on the computer much at home. But that’s a lame excuse. Anyway, I just wanted to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to Mom and Baba. And all the other mom’s out there. But especially Mom and Baba, who are really quite amazing, even if [...]

Congrats

Yesterday Phil has his last final ever. Fittingly it was a computer science final, as opposed to a business school final. So that means he’s done with college. And has more degrees than me… But whatever. Good job, Phil!

Coal Dust

How many of you out there have intimate experience with coal dust? Raise your hands. None? Okay, well let me share a little story with you, then. This weekend we (me, Phil, Mom) ripped the ceiling out of my dining room. It had to be done so that new drywall could be put up, and [...]
