Snow

22-Feb-08

It appears Nora doesn’t like playing in the snow. I’ll give her a pass; she’s only one and enjoys warm things, like heat. I appreciate that. Before I started shoveling snow, I liked it, too. A lot, even. I used to push Lisa into the snow a lot. I think I shoved Mare and Michael [...]

Has the dust settled?

20-Feb-08

It’s been quite a few months to be a fan of baseball, basketball and football. Where do you begin? Let’s begin with the much needed ‘coming clean’ of baseball. We’ve seen the shuck and jive from the likes of Palmero and now Clemens; the latter threw his friends, teammates and wife under the bus. Andy [...]

Transitioned

15-Feb-08

It didn’t take long – all the pages located in ‘galerie’ and ‘miscellany’ have been edited and transitioned to this here wordpress installation. Of course, we’re lacking the stylistic endeavor that were the old sites, but I don’t care quite enough to maintain those. The old galerie and miscellany sections have been deleted. On a [...]

New Projects and Other Nice Things

13-Feb-08

As you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve made a few changes here to this site and hope to improve it past the usual ‘angry and shameless ranting’. I’ve decided to combine everything into wordpress, which is asking for trouble, naturally, but makes life easier as I can immediately edit files instead of mucking [...]

A Year

11-Feb-08

Nora is a year and a week old now, and almost everyone who regularly comments here was at the party. However, a year ago today marked the first time we were parents, alone with Nora. If you recall, right after Nora was born, Lisa’s mom rushed right down and helped us (err, ran) the house [...]

aside:what

08-Feb-08

I happened to try this by accident. Tangentially, I’m now using the wordpress widgets engine instead of my custom sidebar – it’s a lot easier to change things on the fly. I may switch back to the old theme, but for now, what do you think? Leave comments on what you do or don’t like. [...]

Some Things Convinced Me

07-Feb-08

I think Denby’s right – keep at it. His points were as follows: 1. This isn’t a money making venture, it’s a labor of love. No one is expecting a MWF entry every week for the rest of the year. As he suggests, if I stop writing for two months, I stop writing. 2. We [...]

Things

05-Feb-08

Generally, I write this as though I were writing to Lisa. This is why I can get away with insulting people, because sometime roughly two years ago I stopped viewing this as a forum for the public. I have since thought of it as TV, where I do my thing for my target audience but [...]
