Well, it's official: July is a record month for The A.M. I want to thank all of you for coming here and I look forward to serving you in the future. Of course, we aren't Read the rest of this entry »
It's my wife's birthday. Happy Birthday, Honey. You are such a blessing to me and I love you now more than ever. Remember the time I danced for you in K Mart? Let's go to K Mart and do it again!
Isn't she beautiful? How could anyone resist Read the rest of this entry »
I've got a stop light in my office. It doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the local Toastmasters club, a club I joined earlier this year and promptly stole their stop light. Not really. It's actually broken and I brought it home several months ago to fix it. Haven't done so. Instead I've let everything else get in the way. Well… I say let. It's more like I shove everything in the way. I'm like Mel Gibson running from a bunch of homeless Jews in a hospital Read the rest of this entry »
I have no idea what the original story was about… Well, now I do, Read the rest of this entry »
My kids are really enjoying the Wii Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga game. Okay, not a challenge for you older kids, but my oldest is seven so he's in the game's target demographic. He's beaten all of the levels and now can engage in 'free play' where he can change his character to any other character in the game. Having watched all of the movies it's kind of weird watching Darth Maul or the Emperor Palpantine teaming up with Ewoks or Luke and Vader fighting clones in episode II. Read the rest of this entry »
I ordered one of the “Great Courses” from The Teaching Company the other day and it arrived the day before yesterday. (I say the day before yesterday because it was sitting outside the door when I went out to go to work yesterday. Evidently FedEx corporate policy states that knocking would disturb our quiet familial repose and the harmony of our Feng shui.) I got “Building Great Sentences: Exploring the Writer’s Craft” which, coincidentally, was on sale. (I’m sorry, they may have the greatest product in the history of the world but I’m not Read the rest of this entry »
I've been trying to read through the Bible for a couple of years now. So far I'm in I Chronicles. Yeah, not so good. But there is good news: I'm learning things I never knew before. Like in chapter 13 of I Chronicles there is the story of the death of Uzzah. Who was Uzzah? He was the guy who reached out to steady the ark of the covenant when he thought it was going to fall and God struck him dead.
Kind of harsh?
Well, yeah. But
I’m having writer’s block. It’s bad. Day two with no header art. What did I do yesterday? The same thing I do every day, Pinky: Get up, go to work, come home, play with the kids, spend some time with the wife, go to bed. I did manage to extract a broken screw. How, you may ask? With a screw extractor. Doesn’t sound like a lot but I was quite pleased with myself. The trick is Read the rest of this entry »
Installed an updated version of the Constructor theme and lost all of the customization I did on the previous version. Put most of it back together but can’t get the rss feed button back into the top menu and can’t find the header picture anywhere.
Oh well. Such is life.
Can’t believe I haven’t posted since February. Time flies. Or not. (Stream of consciousness here: Start with nothing to say and end up… in the same place.) But I’ve learned something in the interim: Do what you were born to do and pay someone to do the rest.
A few months back I started having trouble with the radiator on my truck leaking. One of the tanks had a crack which got bigger over time. So I went to a local radiator shop to Read the rest of this entry »
