add a commentIrony and Anger July 13, 2004 3:27 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI lost my temper badly with Tommy because he came down right as Amy woke and I had not made the milestone I was hoping for. I was angry with myself and took it out on Tommy. I feel horrible.
Ironically, the temper revolved around a neighbor’s borrowed DVD “Anger Management.” I even broke the case in a show of anger. I feel like to total schmuck. This was a Murph moment.
I think I made ammends and saw the err of my way.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeBen Fry’s zipcode viewer Ok. This is awesome! Type a digit to highlight a zipcode area. See all the areas by typing 0-9 (one number at a time). Now type your zipcode and watch the region shrink while you type. Next, type Z to turn on soom then retype your zipcode. Pretty nifty! Good work Ben Fry!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeMy Uncle was in good spirits July 13, 2004 12:23 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeSo after helping my client I decided to drop in my Uncle. My Uncle explained that I had not filed taxes in 4 years and that on the first 3 of those it looks like I did not owe anything but the first 2 I would have been due refunds (no longer available). My Uncle was pleasant and assured me that I’m in no real trouble and told me how to get on with the paperwork.
Did you know that if it looks like you owe money and you don’t file a return that the IRS will prepare a return for you (with zero deductions) and send you a bill? That is what I’m working on avoiding with this past year.

This Morning
The morning went well. I’ve learned how to park downtown so I had fewer hassles (although I was 1 penny short of the $1.50 parking fee). I was able to fix my client’s woes rapidly.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI’ve now given Amy something scary to dream about. Tommy and Sarah got excited about driving through a car wash. I thought fearless Amy that enjoyed the fireworks so much and loves the rain would get a hoot out of it. She became so terrified that I almost just drove out while the machine was running. I felt so helpless.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifePresident Bush is in town today which means traffic woes and votes will be bought.
We missed getting stopped by a road block by 30 seconds. Whether it was for the presidential motorcade or the assine 100 days of road blocks to raise money for the police department I’m not sure. I still think those should be illegal. By what right do they have to stop me if I’m not breaking any laws? Seems completely unjust! Of course, we are breaking a law by not having Noah in a proper child restraint device and that will cost us $300-500 but that’s another story.

Only cleaned up puppy poo once last night…then 3 times this morning.
Off to a meeting!
Afternoon/Evening July 11, 2004 9:30 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeOur new dog is smart…too smart. Escaped her cage 1.5 times today. At 2 mths she’s already learning to play fetch. She’ll chase a tennis ball then follow me all over the house to return it to me!
The grandfather took the boys and I to the gun show today. Saw some really cool stuff dating back to the mid 1800s. The WWII generation stuff made me think of my own grandfathers one picking bodies out of the water at Normandy and the other working with chemical weapons in Kentucky. There should be many stories there. I would have liked to been the Keeper of Tales for the family but was not gifted with the ambition nor the memory.
Afterwards we spent some time at the pool then returned home for fairly typical evening chaos.
Overall happy family today.

This Morning
Woke 3 time last night to clean up Puppy Poo (say that with a Scrappy Doo voice). Almost got myself to stay up at 3am and work. Instead slept in until 10am (what a bum!) but how refreshing! I so needed that!
Brewed my last half pot of coffee and am now heading up for the final cup. Yikes! I could use a full pot today.
Yesterday Afternoon/Evening
Laundry got interupted for evening plans but it was well worth it. The grandparents took the kids, wife and I to see Spiderman II! It was exceptional!! I give it a high recommend.
