Does Anybody Ever Go To Chuck E. Cheese For The Pizza?

I’ve been to Chuck E. Cheese’s twice in the last couple of weeks. Two different locations even. Let’s face it, if it weren’t for birthday parties, this franchise would have shut down decades ago. Both times I went were for birthday parties. Actually, I don’t know if I’ve ever been to Chuck E. Cheese’s without…

Shopping On The Weekday

By |

As a sort of follow-up to my post earlier this week regarding grocery shopping on Sundays, I wanted to describe my experience this morning. On a Wednesday. After dropping off the kids at school at 8:20 I walked the 5 blocks to the store. Our house is in between the school and the store. I…

Creepy Buzz

Yeah, my kids use training pants overnight. It’s just the 3 and 6 year olds, and I don’t feel great about using them, but it’s better than doing laundry every day. Well, we do laundry every day as it is, usually a couple of loads. You get the idea. I was looking at my son’s…

Sunday Shopping

By |

I hate grocery shopping on Sundays. I’m sure that’s not a surprise to many people. Most people who work during the week don’t have the time to do a major shopping trip during until the weekend. Also on Sunday it’s usually the first day a new set of coupons take effect. The grocery store can…

Hawaii Five-0 Drinking Game

By |

Been working on this for a while, and I may add to this, but there’s enough to get a solid drinking game with the current CBS series “Hawaii Five-0”. Granted, you can make a drinking game out of just about any television show, but this one really seems to lend itself to having one. Opening…

Here is a blurry picture of Xavier during gymnastics. It’s the best one I could get of him as he was constantly on the move. Here he is in the back yard after I picked him up from preschool. He’s making stew for dinner. Yeah, that’s all I have for this week. Sorry.

Too Honest?

By |

How are you? Do you usually answer with “Fine”? Does that exchange bother you? It does me. Usually when people ask me how I am doing I actually answer. Honestly. If I’m tired I’ll say so. Worried? Yeah, I’ll tell you. Don’t ask if you don’t want to know the answer. So a little while…

The Missing Blog Post

By |

I sat down to finish writing a blog post. I got a better idea and opened up a different page, closing the one I was working on. Then something in the kitchen called me. It was less than 10 steps away. And when I go there I couldn’t remember what I went in there for….

Technically I Am A Veteran

By |

I served in the Army from 1985 to 1989, but I have a difficult time considering myself a veteran. I did not see combat, but was mobilized once. Back in the 80s Central America was a hotbed of activity. In 1987 my unit went to Honduras for a few weeks to train. Our unit was…
