If you are an American in the kitchen, what are you in the bathroom? European!!! ha ha ha… oh, I slay me.

So, I’ve been busy. A casualty of being busy has been this place. Apparently, people have been noticing this; my apologies. Life is good. Heck, life is great. Every aspect of it seems to be taking a turn for the better. Four weeks ago I was gearing up for another shitty holiday season where I […]

There’s nothing quite like running in the rain. I love the rain, because it cools you off while giving you a little extra opposition. It quiets everything down so you do nothing but focus on the sounds of your footfalls, your breathing, your heart thumping, and (optionally) the conversation of whoever you’re running with. Tonight […]

…I seem to have forgotten to update the last couple days with anything meaningful, which is a shame, I admit. So, good things are happening. Some of which I can’t talk about, some of which I won’t talk about. I’m happy, and think I’m going to be a lot happier in the coming months. Christmas […]

Coop got fucked again. While he gets to stay on team Orange, I’m kind of wondering how the league can justify replacing 3 people (updated, I realise that the 3 in and out are not going to/coming from completely seperate teams). Part of playing in a league is chemistry, which isn’t instantaneous. While I understand […]

Yesterday/today was a pretty good close-out of 2004. The morning was spent doing some last minute running around for new tires (really), some beer for the evening, and chocolate for Kris and Chris’s fête. On the subject of chocolate do check out Truffle Treasures, as they have the best chocolate I’ve had in a loooong […]

Please welcome to the planet Gabrielle Maria McQuade, the 19.5″ healthy offspring of Terina and Steve, at 8lbs 1oz. Gabrielle was born at 18:51PST, and is the closest to a New Year’s baby I’ve ever known. Congrats to Terina, Steve, Bella, and the kids. Gabrielle, we’re sorry in advance for your father, but your mom […]

I’m sure these diagrams made sense at the time, but I hafta wonder. I recognize my office and my handwriting, but man, that seems soooo long ago, and it was only 2001. I miss those days. I actually do remember what the pics are. The first was a cutover timetable from a huge mail system […]

Who knew that annoying songs in your brain actually had a name associated with them? The name is earworm, and the definition forgot a classic from Barry Manilow. Yes, I’m supposed to be working. No, it’s not going very well. Spreadsheets lose their allure after staring at them more than 30 minutes.

Do you ever look at something and wonder what the person who dreamed it up was thinking? I tend to do that a lot, and came across a hybrid ambulance/fire truck. Supposedly, having dual-purpose vehicles will save costs. What happens when you have someone who needs immediate attention at a hospital, but the fire’s not […]
