The past few nights it's been humid, and we have had some out of town guest, so The Dude has been pretty keyed up and not in a "yes, it is a good time to go to bed Father, you are always so wise" sort of mood.There was much crying and thrashing and sounds like the howling of the damned at end of the world.We settled on a compromise, allowed The Dude to fall asleep in our bed.

I had a lot of good news and hopeful signs on Monday and Tuesday. Which was a different sort of experience for me. Even the really bad stuff took on a positive spin, it's not close to being solved, but there is some forward motion, and some issues have been aired.I hate to call to much attention to things because I'm sure I will jinx stuff, or make grandiose proclamations that I can't possible

So off we ran.And hit fog and overcast skies. But, still warm and a bit humid we ventured to the sea. The beach was surprisingly crowded, and the

Last.fm confuses the hell out of me. Maybe it's because I am refusing to download their software and I'm only willing to use it as a web app. Sure I can find songs and artists that I like, and I guess I can add them to my play list, except sometimes las.fm doesn't have the song, but I can still add it to my playlist, and then...what??What I want to be able to do, without really thinking about it,

My default way of using the web, the tubes, the internets, has changed slightly in the past few months. I now, as a rule, have a minimum of about a dozen tabs I keep open at all times, with every social network and feed site going, plus my mail and maybe google docs, and at least one video sharing site ready to grab a quick and boring Web Cam O' The Mundane, or whatever.

Alexander Courage passed away. He was a film and television composer and you maybe don't know his name, but you surely know his most famous work:The man wrote that music. Give him a minute of your time.Better obits than I could ever write can be found here and here.Goodbye and Thank you.

So I'm in the bathroom at work. For reasons I will not go into here at this time, this bathroom has the world's largest toilet bowl. It's huge, monstrous. What do you think the brand name is on this bit of plumbing?BIG JOHNOf course it is. I'll maybe post pictures someday. I have a great idea for a short film involving it as a main character but that will probably never happen.Anywho, I'm in

So I get this piece of spam in my gmail. It is from "lakota" who I'm presuming is a 'bot and not an actual human and I don't open it, but of course I read the subject line. Since these things are made by machines they are these strings of words that kind of but not quite go together. I can be a weird non-sensical type of poetry. (I'm sure someone else far more clever than I has collected and

We have started to use the potty. At daycare we are using the potty fairly regularly. Just for pee, not poop yet. However at home, we are content to sit on the potty, but we haven't gone yet.Yes. He's reading a comic book. Because he said " I want a book. Daddy's Book."Like father like son. :)

The Dude had his three year old check up tonight. His first eye test. His first blood pressure test. No shots. (Yay!)He was all excited going in, climbing the stairs to the doctors office he said "They are going to be so happy to see me!" In the waiting room he almost dashed in when the nurse came to get a different child for their appointment.When the nurse came, he marched through the door and

I had wanted to post something thoughtful and meaningful for Memorial Day, but I was not going to be able to come up with something as simple and elegant as Wil Wheaton did. So just click on over there.Chris Sim's Invincible Super Blog had a nice Memorial Day post too. It may seem glib or disrespectful to reference a comic for Memorial Day, but I really do think those two panels say a lot, and

I mean why not? What is there to lose.So go here and read this and watch the video and read the rest of the article.All of this over a question that I don't understand why it is even a question. This is why separation of church and state is important.Maybe we should try it.

I'm going to bring up politics for a moment and expose my liberal - lefty bias. I'm voting for Obama okay? Back at the beginning I was all for Kucinich, he most represented the world I want my child to grow up in. But sadly, that ended. So I'm going to vote for Obama. It's a blog and it's just my opinion so I'm not going to lay out a dozen complex reasons why I think he will be good for the

I look at this picture and I think "This will not end well" and I also think "If I were there, I would not be behind him"I sure hope somebody has a bucket and a mop and a whole lot of hot soapy water.

I think, if you are a Combat Veteran, you should be exempt from paying taxes. Haven't you done enough?Sometimes I like to wait to go to the bathroom until I have something really powerful to contribute.I'm not a cat person. But I have three.This is funny, although it was probably real painful and scary:Its not that I don't like my job (I don't) it's that I don't like Working. The whole concept is

But I don't want to get any older.On the plus side: The Dude sang me a Birthday song and told me he loved me, which is the greatest and most wonderful of gifts I could ever have hoped for or dreamt of. It was so amazing, I don't have the words for it.And for whipped cream on top of that: I got to see Iron Man last night. It was good. Downey owned it. More please.And for a cherry on top of that:
