So I am in an angry troll kind of mood.
Ethan had his second urodynamics test today, but I could not go because we had an emergency at work (it is 7:15pm as I write this…I am still at work…waiting for customer confirmation). The Urodynamics test is by far the most invasive test ever conceived of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

So…Yesterday…is over for now.
Ethan was scheduled for an MRI at 10:30. Since kids cannot sit still long enough for the test, they have to be given general anesthesia. So they wanted us to show up at 9:00 to do all the paperwork and pre-op stuff. We left the house a little after 7. It [...]

I work in a fairly large office complex with retail shops on the first floor. People are milling about all day. For every 3 people you see, one or two of them will be on the phone.
I don’t get it.
No really, I don’t get it.
With the possible exception of talking to my family in [...]
