(This has nothing to do with atheism, just remembering a time I almost god some poor sod killed.)
Many, many years ago (last century, in fact), I watched a young couple enter a building in which I work. Mom, dad, a two-and-a-half year old boy, and twin 6-month-old girls in a stroller. Cute family.
They walked over to me, mom pushing the stroller with one hand, hanging on to the toddler with the other, and balancing a large diaper bag over her shoulder. “Do you have changing tables in the lady’s room? And where is it?” Read the rest of this entry ?

Today was a beautiful day. We got up early ((((Wife))) and I have the day off together (which doesn’t happen that often)) to take (((Girl))) to the school so she could march in a Memorial Day parade up in Wilkes-Barre Township.
Since we have a mini-van, we transported one set of quads, two bass drums and two snare drums. Plus the mounting hardware. And all the drumsticks and mallets. No drummers, though. Just the drums. The drummers rode the bus (and as we were carrying the drums, we didn’t have to ride will all the teenagers (one of the lesser-known perks of a mini-van)). Read the rest of this entry ?

(((Wife))) amazes me. Often. I was looking for a particular book. I looked in our glass-front barrister bookcase where my first editions reside. Nothing. I looked on the short bookcase and found one of his books, but not the right one. So I went upstairs, looked in both bookcases and in the overflow closet. Found three more of his books, but still not the right one. So I finally got smart andI asked (((Wife))), “Where is the book I’m looking for? It’s a Herblock book, and I think it is Herblock’s Here and Now.” Read the rest of this entry ?

This morning, I got up for work at 0630 and (((Wife))) asked me, “Will you help me look for my car keys?”
I paused for a moment. (((Wife))) never (and I mean never) misplaces anything. I can ask her where my Queen 2-bladed hunting knife is and she will know. Exactly. To the point of telling me what is on either side. So after the pause, I said, “Sure. Where’s the last place you remember having them?”
She smiled. Then she asked, “Will you help me look for my pink unicorn?” Read the rest of this entry ?

When I was a kid (actually, until a few minutes ago), the term ‘prairie muffin’ referred to this:
These were also referred to a meadow muffins, cow pies, cow chips (when dried), and (on one very uncomfortable day) third base. Then I visited An Apostate’s Chapel (to be fair, I visit Chappies site almost daily) and discovered, down in one of the comments, a link to the Prairie Muffin Manifesto. Read the rest of this entry ?

(((Wife))) and I were playing Scrabble yesterday. Our game has been improving since we got the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary. We’ve discovered lots and lots of new words. Words like ‘za,’ ‘qi,’ and ‘zuz.’ (((Wife))) converted ‘rude to ‘prude’ by adding the word ‘tup.’ Read the rest of this entry ?

I came home from work today, and (((Wife))) had cut this out, laminated it, and tossed it onto the refrig. Of course, she had to add an even better punchline:
Frankenstein’s monster: “So tell me, reverend, am I a creationist of an evolutionist?”
Priest ((((Wife’s))) addition): “No, you came back from the dead. You’re Jesus!”

(((Wife)), (((Boy))), (((Girl))) and I had a wonderful (for the most part) holiday with (((Wife)))’s family down in Florida. We drove down Monday night into Tuesday morning, spent the 24th at the Magic Kingdom (with a fantastic meal at the Crystal Palace restaurant), enjoyed Christmas day at the in-laws, visited Epcot on Friday, and had a huge meal at the Cheesecake Factory and went for a boat ride on Saturday and drove home on Sunday. The drive down and back is an easy one: I-81 to I-77 to I-26 to I-95 to I-4 (and the reverse for the trip home) and just under 1,100 miles (about 18 hours (including stops for meals)). Here are a few observations from our trip: Read the rest of this entry ?
