I’ve been without a hair brush for a few days now. It first disappeared following a bath night for the kids when it was being passed around freely amongst the various heads in our household: predominantly the female heads, led by our two-year-old, Emma. As I watched her wield the brush both for her own…

House Cleaning Fairy
Recently we’ve been—ok, I’ve been—more bothered than usual with both the amount of stuff we have in our house; AND (perhaps more) how often way too much of it is left out all over our floors! So I told the kids this past weekend—in no uncertain terms—that at 6:30am or so every morning when I…
Super Sucker Fish!
We recently left our house vacant for a few days—two whole days and most of two more on the front and back ends, to be precise—while we were visiting our close friends in Maryland. Well, vacant that is, aside from three small living creatures whom we left in the care of our neighbors’ teenage son….
Clean Your Bombilla
So … I had a “first” experience today, as a mate drinker… I was drinking “unos mates” for the first time in a week (we were gone, visiting family in Ohio last week) and as I was drinking, I noticed that no liquid was coming through the bombilla, so upon a quick visual inspection, I…
Give It Back!
Our current favorite ad during Sabres’ games these days is one the announcers read for the Upstate New York Transplant Services, that says: “You’ve been given the gift of life… give it back.” Depending on your inflection … it can be quite funny!
Last Night in Pittsburgh…
Last night the Buffalo Sabres were the visiting opponent of the Pittsburgh Penguins in Pittsburgh, PA … USA. (The country is important here.) Prior to the game, the hosting team apparently showed a video replay of the overtime goal scored by—Pittsburgh Penguin superstar, Sidney Crosby—and, though I’m certain they anticipated a loud cheer for the…
Fan Boy?
On the half-hour drive home from celebrating our daughter’s 6th birthday, we somehow remembered the famous Get A Mac ads that Apple has so brilliantly done for the past several years. I think it started with our oldest son and I quoting from one of them. Well, from there we remembered that the complete library…
Parking Ticket
My dad sends me a lot of email forwards. (Does your dad do that, too?) I get a lot of email so, often I won’t have time to read all of them. If they are shorter I will scan quickly (or if he sends just to me, not a group) and there are a few…
God’s Clothes
While cleaning up the girls’ room today, there came a point where we had to reach up high to get something. As I stretched, Julia, our 3-year-old, stated, “God could reach that. He’s super tall.” “Yes, I suppose he could,” I agreed. “But he’s not really just… tall. He’s even bigger than that.” “Yeah,” Kirstie…
Ain’t That The Way It Goes?
I do web design. All facets of web design. From the graphic design of a site, to the writing of code (in several different programming languages), to the configuring of servers and software, to the maintenance of said websites. Today as I was going about my business, and after some positive interaction with my main…
