Earth Day? No Thanks!

By |

I don’t celebrate Earth Day. Does that make me a jerk? Maybe, but I’m comfortable with what I do and who I am. Allow me to explain. To me, one day isn’t effective. I was in Fred Meyer this morning and they turned off some of the lights “in honor of Earth Day.” Why not…

Not Over Yet

By |

The kids don’t have school today. Public school is still in session, but for my kids it is a day between trimesters.   I had planned on taking them to the aquarium and possibly Pike Place Market this morning. Since Xavier is still taking afternoon naps, I thought a solid morning outing followed by a…

Identity

By |

I was recently struck with not just how different my life is now from before I had children, but how different I was as a person. There are times I wonder if the 22 year old me would recognize himself in the me of today at 45 years old.   Back then I smoked, but…

Sundays

By |

Sunday mornings were very different years ago. I was struck by this recently as my 2 (soon to be 3) year old came running in to bring me a piece of paper.   Years, no – decades, ago, Sundays were for sleeping in and sleeping off. I would wake at some late hour on Sunday,…

I Don’t Have A Baby So What Is My Excuse For Feeling Sleep Deprived?

By |

When I woke up today I had some great ideas for blog posts. The problem was I woke up at 1:30 in the morning. Why? I don’t know. Thankfully none of the kids woke up at that time. Nobody was sick, no nightmares, nothing. That bothered me because waking up at 1:30 in the morning…

By |

While it may be a cliche, there is some truth to the common belief that when you get older you’re more prone to yelling at kids to get off your lawn. Presumably the kids in question in this scenario are strangers trespassing on the older person’s property. And then…

Directing The Changes

By |

It’s been over a month since I quit my “day job” over at Digital Entertainment News. The change was made for a myriad of reasons, none of which I’m going to get into now. I do have some related stuff to bring up out of the transition.

Beatles Week 2012 Day 2 “For You Blue”

Tell Me Why refers to the song as “harmless” and Beatleongs mentions it was inspired by George’s then wife Patti. It’s a simple song, pretty much a love song. It’s been released twice, originally on the soundtrack album Let It Be and then again on Let It Be… Naked. The more recently released version is truer to…

A Big Mistake

By |

I forgot my anniversary.   Well, one of them.   December 18 is when Laura and I met, October 31 is the day we got married, and February 23 is the day our marriage was consecrated in the church (as in, legally wed according The Church).   I can’t tell you how long we’ve been…

Some Hard Changes

By |

Last week I quit my “day job” which had morphed into my early morning, day, and evening job. Working from home has been a blessing and a curse, and I wouldn’t trade it in for anything. What I was doing, however, simply wasn’t working.   I used to (still a difficult phrase to get used…
