Today is officially my son’s 4th birthday. We celebrated Sunday and we had a good turn out from friends and family. We got one of those blow-up fun houses for the kids, though plenty of parents took trepidatious young children in with them. 4 years seems to have gone by pretty quick. Next year he’ll… Continue reading Balthazar Takes on 4

Reverend Olaf Gradin, Presiding
I have recently become ordained by the *honorable Universal Life Church out of California. Legally speaking, the Ordinary Clerk of the Hall County Court House recognizes any person ordained by a church to lawfully wed consenting adults. I don’t have any experience doing such, but I could learn. My wife maintains the opinion that my… Continue reading Reverend Olaf Gradin, Presiding
On the Polls: Occult Practices in Gainesville
The face of reason and sober judgment for Gainesville and Hall County is that of Wanda Kuehn. Hers is the path of light; to keep Hell’s demons at bay. Dabblers in Satanic worship can be known by their fortunetelling, long hair, and rock and roll music. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and… Continue reading On the Polls: Occult Practices in Gainesville
Birthday Cheers. Skål!
…And upon the third decade of life, such an elaborate scheme was laid upon the woolen eyes of their victim. Never before have I been so bewildered and pleased in the same breath. Here’s the skinny on one of the greatest sting operations of all times. Jeff calls me early in the month of February… Continue reading Birthday Cheers. Skål!

Dames A’Flame – Atlanta Burlesque
Jeff McClure got a gig with this month’s Dames A’Flame burlesque show in Atlanta. Contrary to what you might imagine (and shame on you), Jeff was not decked out in the style of burlesque. No, he performed his magic act with some witty banter with the girls to get some laughs. It went well and… Continue reading Dames A’Flame – Atlanta Burlesque
Medieval Times in Atlanta
Amy’s birthday was celebrated this year at Medieval Times in Atlanta. I had heard some bad reports on Medieval Times in general, but nothing was going to stop me from experiencing it on my own. I’m certainly glad I did my own investigation. Medieval Times was a raucous good time for 8 friends that went.… Continue reading Medieval Times in Atlanta
Big Upgrades Coming
I’m upgrading WordPress tonight – expect some unexpected behavior while things get sorted out. Looks like 2.1 has some nifty new features – features I’m sure will bite me in the ass before a patch is released to take care of things people like me discover. Oh well. I’m up for the challenge. *Ahem…upgrade complete.… Continue reading Big Upgrades Coming
Podcasts Return (to Me)
Lately I’ve had a lot of things on my mind which warranted good posting material. However, I’ve either been too lazy, busy, or undecided to actually post about them. Each situation probably demands a separate reason. One thing I’m doing now is listening to podcasts again. The Zune has enabled me to get back into… Continue reading Podcasts Return (to Me)
Schlotzsky’s Has Internet, Disney Doesn’t Like Safari
It’s so much fun to be able to sit at the free computers in Schlotzsky’s Deli, surf the Internet, eat some food – all with the boy. He’s good with engaging himself with games on the Internet while I sit with him and peruse things. I’m an awful parent for this I’m sure, but it… Continue reading Schlotzsky’s Has Internet, Disney Doesn’t Like Safari
