Yesterday. Woof!
Yesterday was a mess. It started at about 12:45am. Ethan had a bad asthma attack. He came into our room and was barking. I went to get his nebulizer, but he did not sound too bad. By the time I got back to our room, Ethan was having a full on panic attack [...]

Jenn and I went on a date Saturday night. We saw the latest James Bond movie (I think it is titled James and the Giant Peach). I am still not exactly sure what I saw. There was a story; I just could not follow it because my eyes were bugging out of my head with all the [...]

Ethan asked Jenn, “Is President Obama going to open a Mario store in Broadlands?” Somewhat baffeled, Jenn asked him to clarify.

On a totally different note, we went to [...]

On a whim, I bought tickets to the National Symphony Orchestra. We needed something to break the cloud of sadness that currently surrounds our house. I really wish when they told us that we needed to begin cathing, that we just would have started right then. The dread almost seems worse than the task itself. [...]

Life can take you some unexpected places. When I was a kid, I always dreamed of getting a house in my parents’ neighborhood when I grew up. My sister always looked to more distant horizons. She was the bold one who went to school out of state. I was the one who went to Junior [...]

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, [...]
