I got home from work today and discovered my wireless modem is no more. It’s pushing up the daisies. It’s climbed the curtain and joined the choir invisible. It is an ex-modem. I thought these things were supposed to die right after the warranty expires, not with over 2 years… Continue reading
Today I have a mish-mash of news. First, something sad. I arrived at work this morning to learn that one of my co-workers was killed in a motorcycle accident over the holiday weekend. It’s spooky because I sat in his office on thursday last week, thinking to myself that I… Continue reading
It looks like the hoobaloo at work that has me working long hours might be showing signs of resolution. It’s not a done deal yet, but good progress has been made. After working over 14 hours yesterday, getting home at 11:00PM, I got home at 6:00 today then had an… Continue reading
Ugh. I’ve been so busy lately that balancing my checkbook fell 4 months behind. It took me three days to get through that mess, with missing transactions and bunched up EFT transactions that take forever to find. You’d think after fifteen years of marriage that I’d be used to it,… Continue reading

We had a nice soaking this afternoon, dumping a good inch of rain on our yard. This followed after another downpour thursday evening. As it turns out, I was grilling, trying to finish the hamburgers before the wind picked up. I didn’t make it. Even before I flipped the first… Continue reading
Yesterday, a couple of guys rang the bell looking to do yard work. Well, I do my own yard work, so I tried to shoo them away. My wife, however, decided she wanted to eliminate the two big desert spoons in the front yard. I don’t blame her. She injured… Continue reading
In order to spend some time with my kids, I took them to a local indoor mini-golf course. (I know, I know, only in Phoenix…) Here they are standing in front of the big giraffe. This picture gives you an idea of where Reanna had to hit the ball. Though… Continue reading
