I had this really great idea for a blog post. Really. It was great. It was so great that it would have had you lol-ing, rotfl-ing, haha-ing, hehhehheh-ing, and maybe hohoho-ing, even though it’s not Christmas. But then, I checked my email. And I had a message from a friend who wanted me to join [...]

Where No Chair Has Gone Before
Posted in Deconstruction, tagged black hole, Gene Roddenberry, recliner, science fiction and fantasy, space, Star Trek on January 28, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Gene Roddenberry (the mastermind behind Star Trek) and his wife are having their remains blasted into space –a fitting tribute to the man responsible for much of my alien-like behavior (or my behavior of liking aliens) as a child. It’s partly Mr. Roddenberry’s fault that I would stare up into the night sky waiting for space [...]
A Few of My Favorite Things
Posted in Deconstruction, tagged cold, countertops, flooring, furnace, humor, kids, life on January 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »
My kids keep accusing me of caring more about my new kitchen countertop and floor than I care about them. They say this because I get upset when they scrape a chair across the floor or put something hot directly on the countertop. While it is true that I do baby the new countertop and floor, [...]

My 17 year old knows where he wants to go to college, but he doesn’t know what he wants to study. The other night, though, he made an important decision concerning his future. He said, “I’m going to be Batman.” I’ve heard that’s a difficult major. The “Leap From Tall Buildings Using A Tool From [...]

When my 16 year old son was in first grade, I got a call from his elementary school teacher. She said, “Your son fell off the monkey bars and hurt his leg. I think you need to come get him.” I (as compassionate as always) said, “There’s half an hour left of school. Can’t he [...]

Posted in Animal Farm, tagged dogs, humor, life, puppies on January 7, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Last night I told the kids to do something cute or say something funny so I could write a blog post about it. My request was met with blank stares and silence. Although I think someone sometime at dinner might have said, “pass the salt.” My 9 year old daughter did volunteer to let me [...]
Happy New Thursday

Since everyone in the blogosphere has already posted a Best of 2008 list, I thought I’d give you a Best of the Week list. That’s as far back as I can remember, anyway. Best Quote of the Week: In response to me saying that I needed to put on some make-up, my 16 year old [...]
