It seems like every two or three days they find some­thing new and amaz­ing…
Why is it that I don’t live on the coast yet?
Amazing…

Things you might never know unless you were help­ing out at a phở­tog­ra­phy stu­dio for a cou­ple of days.
Minia­ture Kit-Kat bars are addic­tive, dan­ger­ously so.  You might think that hav­ing a Wur­thers Orig­i­nal hard candy would quell the desire for them.  You’d be wrong, instead of let­ting the candy melt in your mouth, suck­ing on it […]

Why is it that Jello (the stu­pid furry cat) is as attracted to Eli­jah as he is to the piles of dust I sweep up?  He takes great joy in rolling around in the dirt and then mak­ing a break for Ijah, know­ing full well that he will be grabbed, pulled, and mauled.
And why is […]

I’m not a fan of the thaw.  It makes every­thing wet, and dirty, and a bit sad.  The months of cig­a­rettes, the trash that was hid­den, the occa­sional unfor­tu­nate bird or squir­rel.  Bus trans­fers, bro­ken bot­tles, mit­tens, and bit’s of old food.  Occa­sion­ally though, you find a trea­sure, some­thing unex­pected in the slog.  I like […]

Yes, I am lov­ing my iPhone.  It’s almost un-holy, but Sher­man
under­stands.  I’m fairly cer­tain he feels the same way.  One of the
rea­sons is though, that I have a cam­era again.  Mine pooped out sev­eral
month ago and is now an occa­sional dis­trac­tion for Eli­jah.  My other
phone had a cam­era but it was a total pain to […]

March­ing band was a big deal for me in high school.  We worked hard at
it, we had fun, and some­times we absolutely sucked any­way.
I
remem­ber after one per­for­mance we were walk­ing by the oppos­ing teams
crowd and a guy stopped me and said “That was really great!  Just
awe­some!”.  Out of breath from the show but elated for […]

In the old apart­ment I would hear wind chimes on occa­sion.  I could
never find out where they were, where the sound came from, but it was
some­thing I loved.  One day in late fall I was look­ing for them, the
leaves were mostly gone from the trees, and I saw them.  It kind of
took the magic away.
The past […]

Every­where we go we get stopped by at least one per­son telling us how cute Eli­jah is.  Ladies in the gro­cery, peo­ple on the bus, girls on the street, librar­i­ans, bar­tenders, wait­resses.  Old, young, male, female, doesn’t mat­ter.  If we go out in pub­lic some­body says it.  Let me say right now that this in […]

I’m re-reading the Twi­light Series.  I know, I just did, but I’ve read Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? and Good­night Moon at least a hun­dred each, so I’m indulging myself.  I’ve also been try­ing to learn more about build­ing web­sites and help­ing Sher­man with stuff.  Along with doing some other writ­ing and keep­ing Elijah […]
