We had a nice day out at Castle Park, the Inland Empire’s #1 theme park… or so they say. Actually, it is nice. My son, who is something of a wuss when it comes to thrill rides, managed to do the log ride… once. But my little 16-month-old daredevil daughter was just [...]

Musical Irony
June 29, 2003Pee Bubbles
June 27, 2003I just remembered something funny my 3-yr-old son said tonight. He was getting ready for bed and was going to the bathroom (with the door open). I was kicking his toys off to the side so that they weren’t in the middle of his room. It got quiet… he was done “going”. [...]
King Stupid!
June 27, 2003Yipes, it’s been a week… I better post something.
I saw one of the stupidest people I’ve ever seen today. It was a middle aged man on a motorcycle with two boys (about 7 – 10 years old). They were wearing shorts, no shirts and no helmets. That’s just plain stupid.
Anyway, what else [...]
Big World, Small World
June 20, 2003I love my kids. Some of you enjoy loving them, too. My 3-yr-old son happens to be very bright. One minute he’s doing addition, but then the next minute he’ll be sticking his finger in the fan and wondering why it hurts so bad. Well, he hasn’t actually done that, but [...]
Unlocking the Secret Motives of In-Laws, Part 1
June 16, 2003Man, I hate all the security stickers they put on DVDs. Who’s with me? Raise your hand if you hate them, too.
Yep, that’s what I thought.
We just finished up a very nice Father’s Day. Saw my parents for brunch. Saw the wife’s family for dinner. My in-laws are very generous. [...]
Unlocking The Hidden Secrets Of Power Tools, Part 1
June 15, 2003When using a palm sander, if you do it right (or “wrong” in my case) you can start a fire.
Everybody and everything is fine. Just a small black mark on the piece of the play structure that I was sanding. I probably wouldn’t be able to do it again if I was trying.
Welcome Interstate Managers
June 13, 2003You need to get “Welcome Interstate Managers“, the latest CD from the incredible Fountains of Wayne. No time for a review or anything like that right now. Just get it! Hurry!
Stupid Should Hurt!
June 12, 2003Saw a window sticker on the back of a Suburban that said, “Stupid Should Hurt!” The first thing I thought was, “That’s the best bumper sticker ever.” But then I started to think more about it.
Stupid defined: a : slow of mind; b : given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting [...]
How The West Was Won!
June 7, 2003I can’t tell you what a joy it was to listen to Led Zeppelin’s “How The West Was Won” (a new live 3-CD set) after having to sit through that new Metallica album.
