No, this is not some hilarious one-liner to end a crowd-pleasing joke. This is a true account of my experiences last night. The wife and I drove to Portland, two hours away, to join our friends at a birthday dinner. The restaurant chose was vegetarian. And, I believe, not just vegetarian [...]

I haven’t seen any loot lists this year. People either have better things to post about, or they are slacking off from their blogs as I have been for a while now. However, I will now regale you with my amazing memory of what I got for Christmas.
Ted Dekker’s Green
Ted Dekker and Erin [...]

See, here’s the beauty of plans instead of resolutions. Nobody bats an eye when you change your plans. If you change your resolutions, though, you essentially break your original ones. Here are some ideas I’ve come up with:
What if I was more observably affectionate toward everyone, instead of just my wife and [...]

Now is the time of year when people are posting their resolutions. I do not use the term ‘resolution’ unless it is something I truly resolve to do, something I will not fail at, something at the foremost of my thoughts at all times.
No, instead of resolutions, I will share my plans for the [...]

I’m trying to tell everyone in pretty much every online venue I have.
I have a cousin getting married in Dallas. I’ve been to Austin, TX for a week…in years gone by…and I loved it. When my mother asked if I wanted to join in the party heading down, I sure did! The [...]

This morning’s victuals are indeed quite more robust than to what I am used. A cold, hard-boiled egg begins the hearty romp through my palate, taken from it’s refuge where it previously awaited becoming salad fixings. There is no forgiveness as I steal it from it’s temporary home and other hard-boiled companion to [...]

My sister’s dog got into my mother’s Super PoliGrip the other day. (It’s for her crown…really)
Before I get into that, did you know that PoliGrip has “the unique patented Ooze-Control Tip®?” Why does that not sound inviting? I know I should be sold on that fact alone, but I find myself oddly [...]

I’m supposed to check out a gym after work. I told myself that I needed to start working out again. After my recent sickness, my second pneumonia within 7 months, I decided I need to up the exercise. In high school I worked out every year, played a sport every season but [...]

Do you ever have a dream with someone else in it, say a friend or a co-worker? When you see them the next day, you expect them to say something about it, as if they had the same dream you did.
“Hey, last night when we had dinner at that restaurant and you tried to [...]

Every once in a while I hear some new things that I like to check out. That reminds me other other things I meant to look into. Here are three I just researched today.
1) Obama wants to change the national anthem.
Answer: False.
I heard this one just today from my wife, who [...]

For those of you reading this from my website instead of from a feed reader, the column to the left houses post titles to another little blog I sometimes email to. The Thought Exhibit is a place for one-liners as they hit me throughout the day. I guess that’s kind of like Twitter, [...]

I hear they are out, but I haven’t been presented a single order form yet. I feel like I’m going to miss out. I will be very disappointed if I do.
Pssshh, economy woes; I want to buy Girl Scout Cookies!

I don’t have much time. They’ll be here any moment. It wasn’t supposed to be this way.
My house is now a wreck, and it’s about to get worse. The door’s so misshapen I can’t even keep it closed. There’s no way to keep them out. I knew it would end, [...]

Kevin says 2008 is behind us like dead body of a freshly killed squirrel.
Me…I don’t know…it seems like 2008 is still holding on to life, like the squirrel you clipped with your car but is still back there on the road running in circles because you only paralyzed its entire right side. Soon, though, bodily [...]

Sunday afternoons find me feeling sleepy. If I don’t take a nap, I’m kind of spacey at night. If I do take a nap, I find it difficult to get to sleep on Sunday night. Which makes me tired on Monday morning. Which causes me to drink caffeinated products. Which [...]

In my house, Christmas morning is kept open for our household to celebrate together. Currently that’s just me and my wife, but I’m constantly reminded that this could be subject to change sometime in the next few years. You never know.
Christmas afternoon, my father- and sister-in-law always come over for Christmas dinner (lunch?). [...]

Tuesday, December 22nd: We went to my in-laws. To help remember, I’ll list presents received from oldest to youngest in the house.
Ted Dekker’s Chosen, Infidel, and Chaos. That leaves me with only having to find Renegade. Sweet. For some reason I didn’t get these as they came out like I [...]

Saturday, December 20th: Yearly shopping trip sponsored by my father in law.
Polartec winter hat from Cabela’s in Scarborough. I only needed it for the day as I didn’t have either of my other hats on me, but I like this one. It makes a great third hat. Also, technically, I paid [...]

Stop beeping at me, microwave!
Have you ever noticed how fast two minutes can go by when you’re on the internet? I believe I’ve found the secret to time travel!
And my supper is done.

I didn’t even know they made “Happy Birthday to my Underachiever Husband” cards!
