Ordinarily, I’m not really that big a fan of Thanksgiving. It’s just too much…too much family, too much food, too much noise. In past years, I’ve always wanted to simply avoid the holiday completely and not be involved. I’d prefer to simply sit silently in a corner somewhere and ignore the commotion. Unfortunately, that was [...]

3 a.m. automatic
This morning, after Ivy’s 3 a.m. feeding, I lay back down in the bed and realized that I had forgotten to post yesterday. Another year, another incomplete NaBloPoMo. C’est la vie. This is typically the time of the month that I miss a day, so at least I’m consistent in that regard. It’s possible that [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – STL
This morning I had a topic all picked out for today’s post and now, for the life of me, I can’t remember what it was. I have the same problem sometimes when I’m not near a computer and then when I get to the computer I forget what it was I wanted to research. It’s [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – KAN

NaBloPoMo 2009 – SFG
Last night, I participated in a once in a lifetime event. It’s not often that these sorts of things come around, I believe that’s why they’re called once in a lifetime. Anyway, before I tell you what it was, I have to tell you how it came to be.
Every summer, my dad and I make [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – PHI
I was reading over some old blog posts from a few years ago and I ran across a couple of things. First of all, I did a lot of the same things I do now and I was, apparently, bitter and rant-filled about the same things. So, let’s hear it for consistency. WOOT! Secondly, I [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – PIT
Do you ever find yourself wondering if maybe there are alternate realities? I’m talking of places where you exist, but where everything you know is different. Different city, same you; different language; same you. For example, what if, in another dimension, there is another me, just like me now, who lives in an alternate dimension [...]
