Bernadette smacked me in the shoulder, “I can’t believe it got it right!”
She held out the small, red orb to me. The screen read, “refrigerator.” It was an electronic game based on the game 20 questions that someone had bought for The Boy. Basically, you would answer “yes,” “no... Comment - Like

She's a cutie. I'm pretty sure she won't stay this size though.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome back. Now for the beginning of the canoe trip...
The canoe trip all-in-all was a great trip, there were a few details that stood out, however. We arrived at the outfitters on time and rented the canoe. We piled into the van, canoe in tow, with a very ni... Comment - Like

We went on a nice canoe trip over the weekend (more on that later) and towards the end of the trip, I looked up and saw what seemed to be a large, black bag in a tree.
I asked, "What's that in the tree?" (I had already been told there was a bear in a tree earlier in the day but the idylls of a we... Comment - Like

By request from my 100th post: The day I met the Biggest God-Damned Spider Ever.
I rock climbed a lot during and right after college. It was a good adrenaline buzz and it helped me overcome my fear of heights. There is a challenging route in Huntingdon (in PA) that had an outcropping. The climb u... Comment - Like

My wife and I were driving around the other day and got caught behind a particularly slow driver. I don't know how we get into conversations like this sometimes, but here it is:
The Wife: "If that idiot wants to park, he should use the lot over there, not the turning lane."
Me: "Yeah; that and... Comment - Like

I'd would like to thank everyone for all the fantastic comments and general well-wishing for my 100th post. Time to move on though. I will be getting to the various requests for more information on some of the items on my list, but since it's Sunday, I'm going for simple randomness.

Okay, maybe not totally ignoring it. I will pause to poke fun at any person who weeps over the inauguration. It's politics people. He's a just a dude we picked for office. Let's wish him well and hope his plan matches his vision.
Anyway, I have a whole bunch of stuff (memes and an award) that I l... Comment - Like

The Spin Cycle topic for the week was "What if?" It was a hard one for me. I like where I am in life and where it seems to be heading. I have a wonderful wife and a great son -- well, most of the time at least. I like my job and I rarely want for anything. As a result, I rarely play the "what if?" g... Comment - Like

Recently, I had the pleasure of taking a drive with my in-laws, my son, and my wife. We were off to do some family thing, but that's not what's important here. The ride is what I want to talk about.
The drive we were taking was a 45 minute ride. Not bad as far as rides go. We stopped for lunch a... Comment - Like

The other day I was out with The Boy and we decided to mow the lawn. It’s sort of fun too. He pushes along side of me and we have a good time doing it.
We got about half of the yard done and I noticed a large moth just sort of hanging out in the grass right in the path of the mower. I stopped the... Comment - Like

We have these neighbors. They come from a lower income background, but they’re nice people. When they first moved into the neighborhood, they brought with them the associated crapmobile that seems to come along with the inability to pay for repairs. It spewed some smoke here and there, was gen... Comment - Like

I work at a small university. The students are usually pretty nice, but I think there are perhaps a few areas they cold use some schooling in. I’ll cover a few at a time. I know they have other things that they need to study right now, so I’ll hit a few tidbits across a few posts so it can be ab... Comment - Like

I read many blogs and many of the topics touch me. Maggie has an awesome post here that is beautifully written and really captures the human condition. I’ve also read ones that have brought tears to my eyes. I’m sure that we all have. There are stories from all over that just rock you back on yo... Comment - Like

Edit: I had to retitle this from How to Kill your IT Department + Kindergarten. Waaay too easy to misread. I would never condone the killing of kindergartens…IT departements, sure, but never kindergartens

I had a race scheduled for the day today, so The Wife and The Boy hopped in the car with me and we all headed down. The race started in a park, so we took The Boy’s bike along to keep him occupied. When I had registered for the race, it was mainly so I could run the 5k but I took a look at the ide... Comment - Like

School is coming up fast and although I’m nervous about my son’s foray into kindergarten, there is one thing I won’t miss: the neighborhood flock o’ kids. You know the one. A cloud that runs up and down the street that’s topped with heads at varying heights and either legs or wheels at the... Comment - Like

This isn’t your typical dual standard I’m talking about. It’s the “I’ll act this way for daddy, but watch out when mommy enters the scene” dual standard.
For some reason, my son acts wonderfully (nigh perfectly I might venture) when it’s just me and him. When the mom walks in though, ... Comment - Like

The time is rapidly approaching when my son will head off to kindergarten. He’s excited for it and his mom is a little sad that he’s growing up. Not terribly so, but enough to make a mom’s eyes get all misty. Dad is fine with it. Mainly because I knew it was coming and I’ve tried to prepare ... Comment - Like

Yes, that would be my son. A conversation this morning:
The Boy: “I’m not going to school today.”
