So last night was my idea of a near perfect Friday Night. Not that it was the greatest, but for what it was, it was perfect.
Ethan had his piano recital last night, so I knocked off work early. When I got home, he was busy doing Jedi business with the kids in the neighborhood. [...]

Lord it is hard to be humble, when you are perfect in every way…
Hmmmm…let’s say I “overheard” a couple arguing about housekeeping. The husband, we will call Binh recognized that with his wife returning to full time employment, it might not be a bad idea to have a housecleaner come twice a month. The wife, [...]
I want noodle salad. Watch the clip and you will understand.
At my old church, I attended a Men’s retreat. We were in small groups and the leader asked everyone to share the greatest moment of their lives. Without exception, all of them said, the birth of their child. That my friend is noodle salad.
Now don’t [...]

I love Saturdays, especially when there is no agenda. I was a bum most of the morning except for the “procedure.” We went to the mall for lunch. I had bourbon chicken. Then Jenn bought socks while I got Ethan a haircut at Cartoon Cuts. I got to watch an episode of Fairly Odd Parents.
We [...]

It is a three day weekend; so I guess I will floss.
Work was good today. The office was nearly deserted. As a result I got more work done than expected. I am enjoying a brief lull in activity since I am getting 2 more projects in June. Eeek. I am sort of dreading the new [...]

I am sometimes amazed at the amount of trash my family generates. When I was single, I might have had one paper bag full of trash a week. When Jenn and I got married, that increased to about 1-1.5 garbage bags a week. After we had Ethan, that number of bags increased slightly to about [...]

The Fam and I went out to dinner with some friends from our old church. They felt the need to tell Jenn and me how awful the new music director is.
It was my hope that I had “moved on” since leaving Floris. But their comments lanced a hidden boil in my soul. It just [...]

I am sitting in the computer room overlooking the park, watching the kids come and go. Today was a long day. Ethan had an upper GI test (x-ray with dye in his stomach). The test was at 8:30. I expected to get out by 10:30, take Ethan to lunch, and then have some me time [...]

Today was Mothers, confirmation, Pentecost Sunday. Too many themes for my tiny brain. They showed a 13 minute movie from Willow Creek about church history. I got a little teary. Then they started the confirmation service, and that was it. We have a high pollen count today, but that was not the source of my [...]

I have always been a square peg in the round hole of faith. If I lived 1000 years ago I would be burned at the stake. That is OK, I like barbeque.
Yesterday I got an email from a customer who works at a Christian University in Lakeland Florida (yes, that one). She was asking for [...]
