Because what I really need is one more ridiculous and time-consuming thing on my agenda

Because what I really need is one more ridiculous and time-consuming thing on my agendaHad to go to the post office last night, well after regular business hours. Fortunately, they have one of those 24-hour kiosks inside … which I prefer anyway, because I’m an antisocial tech geek who would rather run errands after dark. What was I mailing? Oh, I didn’t go there to mail something. No, I had [...]

Going the extra mile to bring you breathtaking images

Going the extra mile to bring you breathtaking imagesSome days, I go, “Damn, I need an interesting image for Photo of the Day!” And then, much like an intrepid National Geographic photographer who risks life and limb capturing exciting photographs of our wild world, I snap off a shot of whatever I can find in my house … like this flashlight sitting on [...]

Look! A Building!

Look! A Building!A truly professional blogger would not only show you a picture of this building, but tell you the building’s name, and a bit of history about such a fabulous structure. Me? I glanced out the window of the hotel we were staying at this weekend and really liked the way it looked … especially the crisscrosses [...]

Belly up

Belly upI love me a nice bar … and this one here — Masa — is my favorite in all of Boston. On Saturday, Wonder Woman took me on an overnight excursion in the city to celebrate my 40th birthday (which is next Sunday *shudder*). We stayed at the lovely Back Bay Hotel (a very cool old [...]

It’s a good thing a picture is worth a thousand words, cuz I’m plum outta words right nowToday sucked. Here’s some cool looking snow atop the bush outside my front door. The end. I’ll do better for you tomorrow. Promise.

Can you hear me now?

Can you hear me now?This here is the Earducator, which is the device used for the AIT sessions that Zan and I recently underwent. For all I know, it’s the new-millennium equivalent of snake oil … but it does appear that there’s some pretty solid science behind the whole thing. Either way, it made “ABBA’s Greatest Hits” sound really spectacular. [...]

The year is new, but the wake-up time is the same

January 2nd, 2010 Daddy Scratches Comments off
The year is new, but the wake-up time is the sameNew Year’s Eve brought with it some snow, and nothing says “Happy New Year!” quite like two kids who want to go outside and play at 6:30 a.m. on New Year’s Day, am I right? Fortunately, Wonder Woman took the hit, so she was the one who suited up the children and braved the elements [...]

Fiyah!

Fiyah!Behold! I am manly! I made FIYAH!! Seeing as how I told you about our plan to resurrect our five-years-dead fireplace, I figured I should share with you the payoff. The kids have been very adamant that we not light a fire on Christmas Eve, what with Mr. C scheduled to come down the chimney and all. [...]

Well, at least it’s not a dog

Well, at least it’s not a dogToday, Zan completed a rather long and arduous task that we had asked him to complete, and, as it turns out, we told him he could have as his reward a living, breathing, aquatic creature. And you may wonder why I would use the term “as it turns out” when referring to the fact that [...]

Naughty or nice?

December 16th, 2009 Daddy Scratches Comments off
Naughty or nice?Last Saturday morning, we all donned our Christmas finery and headed to that magical holiday haven known as The Mall, where we posed for our annual family photo with Santa. Before we actually got to the jolly old man himself, however, we had to endure The Line … the long, slow-moving line that threatens to [...]
