NFL football is back! The regular season starts this week with a game featuring the World Champ NY Giants and the Washington Redskins on NBC Thursday night, a full slate of games on Sunday (including the BILLS GAME!), and then a double-header on ESPN on Monday Night. I can’t wait!! The Bills are looking really…
Not How I Planned It
Well, I just got back – AGAIN – from Buffalo. We spent the extra long weekend there visiting with Jen’s family, and came home pretty late tonight (got the kids in bed around 11pm) to find that I had forgotten my laptop there. An hour and a half away there. And, not only do I…
Half Mom, Half Dad
We were looking at old slides last night at my wife’s family reunion. We get together every Labor Day weekend, and this time, at Jen’s request, Dad broke out the old slide projector and we spent an hour or so looking at old photos. Almost every photo brought laughs along with a funny story or…
Frank Caliendo on Letterman
A friend passed this along recently, and I just watched it again. Wanted to share with you. It’s old I think, so you may have seen it. He’s quite good at all the impressions he does here, but I really love his Bill Clinton! What he says, and his facial expressions! Hilarious! Thanks Chris 🙂
RE: Blogging
What I have noticed over my five years of blogging is that blogging is very much about the moment. If I try to get to something later, maybe even get a few paragraphs into a draft version here, it never happens. Or, if it could, it doesn’t seem relevant anymore. (To either reader or writer.)…
Now I Know What To Do
This morning, while I was checking email on the laptop and watching the kids play in my in-laws’ driveway, Kirstie stopped by to ask me a question. “Dad, how do I stop if I’m going down a fast hill on my bike?” Puzzled by the question I asked, “Well, what do you mean? Why do…
Five Years of Blogging
Believe it or not, I have been at this “blogging” thing for five years now. Today. August 26th, 2003 was my first post, and now almost 1400 posts later, I’m still at it. (Albeit, quite infrequently this past month or two!) I love this avenue to share thoughts, start discussions, share links and information, and…
Cool Special Effects: Death Star Over San Francisco
I can’t believe it’s really been a week since I have posted anything here. Not for lack of content, only lack of time (and energy, I suppose). More to come… but for now, enjoy this crazy video above, passed along to me by a friend.
Two Cuts, And A Pig-Man
As I was putting Julia, our two-year-old, to bed last night, she was looking at my awesome, old-school Sabres shirt, with the vintage logo pasted on the front of it. She was touching it, exploring it, and without looking up she said to me, “Dad, you have two cuts.” “Cuts? What do you mean?” I…
08.08.08
You probably do not need to be reminded of this, but today is the one fun day every year where the day, the month, and the year all match. This one happens to also be the first day of the summer olympics, happening this time in China. It’s also the tenth wedding anniversary of some…
