I am not a very superstitious person, so I am not going to put any weight on the fact that I woke up last night and the clock read 3:16. In related news, did you know there is a football game with very high (emotional) stakes tonight? Things are going to be TENSE in the […]
Puss in Boots
Yesterday I was awake for maybe six or seven hours in total. The night before that Jake suddenly developed a fever…then I developed a fever…and then I developed the following symptoms: sore chest, sore throat, and narcolepsy.

Santa Baby, Please Don’t Bring Me Harem Crops, or an Elf on the Shelf
This is the view looking out my back door this morning: Notice how difficult it is to see where the snow on the garage ends and the sky begins? My plan this morning was to take a trip to Superstore, but the snow and the thought of pushing a giant cart through the windy, unplowed […]

I may have mentioned this before. I’m not going to bore you with the details, but I will say that, as I […]
It was a graveyard smash!
It snowed today! The little dusting is, I believe, positively correlated with the comment I made yesterday regarding the unbelievable fact that we had made it through September AND October with no snow. But, dear readers, we had NOT made it through October, and so now we have snow. It’s not much though and it […]
