Via Boing, Boing, we learn that Arlington Pediatric Center does inappropriate things to children.

Amy, I, and Balthazar all went to Meehan’s this evening to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. It was an excellent venue for the event, though it was pretty much standing room only. If it seems a bit odd to bring a two-year-old to an ale house, it is. However, Meehan’s catered to all until 8:00pm on… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day at Meehan’s

“Looks like he’s heading towards that small moon…”

For USD 299.00, you can get an Episode VI (Star Wars: Return of the Jedi) Death Star LEGO replica. I think that’s a sweet deal! And well…I have a two year-old, so it’s justified too. I didn’t even realize the advancements that LEGO has made in the years since my abandonment of the box of… Continue reading “Looks like he’s heading towards that small moon…”

Pee Your Bed Much?

When I was very young, I distinctly remember wetting the bed. More importantly, I remember why I wet the bed. In all cases I can recall, there was a very realistic dream in which I rose from bed and stumbled into the bathroom to pee. The realism peaked when the warmth of my own urine… Continue reading Pee Your Bed Much?

MadLib Biographies

My friend, Jason D., sent me a chain-letter to fill out and send to a million people for good luck or something. I am against such things, but I like Jason and wish to at least better his luck. Instead of emailing everyone with my MadLib biography, I chose to post it here on my… Continue reading MadLib Biographies

Amy got very excited today when Balthazar replied, thoughtfully, to a situation at dinner in sign-language. He’s not deaf, nor is anybody in his family. He just doesn’t talk, so Amy thought we should teach him to communicate some way. Sign-Language is apparently something very young children can pick up, and Balthazar is doing well… Continue reading Untitled

If I Were a Drinker, I’d be Drunk Tonight

Tonight I’m going to Dan S.’s house for a party. All family members are invited, including the children, so I’m bringing Balthazar. It should be fun. Somewhat of a reunion for me, as it’s primarily exCon’s and Separatists (read: former ConAgra Foods Poultry Group and Pilgrim’s Pride employees). These are buddies from a previous job,… Continue reading If I Were a Drinker, I’d be Drunk Tonight

Spell “I told you so”

For those who dare to contest my spelling prowess, Merriam Webster has the following to say to you: Main Entry: weird Pronunciation: ‘wird Function: noun Actually – I mulled it over in my head a bit before deciding on “wierd” as many others do because of the silly childhood rhyme we all learned. My aunt,… Continue reading Spell “I told you so”

The Big Olaf

Speaking of childhood memories…is anyone reading this in the San Diego, CA area? When I lived there – well before Balboa Park was coined “Pedophile Park” – there was a cool ice cream shack on the beach. I don’t remember the name of the place, but they had “The Big Olaf.” It was a waffle… Continue reading The Big Olaf

Childhood Memories

Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robins were the kings of their sweet goodies when I was young. In the late 90’s, Baskin Robins seemed to pretty much vanish. I don’t even think any of the stores I visited at that time had 31 flavors anymore. Later, Brewster’s and Marble Slab showed up to dominate the commercial… Continue reading Childhood Memories
