…because I get to be fatherly tonight.

…because I was able to help solve someone’s problem today.

…because I hit a major milestone and set another one.

…because my kids seem happy (well, most of them).

Have the shirt off my, er, out of my closet August 18, 2005 7:42 am

Today I am sporting a snazzy number my brother and his wife bought me. On their visit, they brought 3 shirts and were supposed to take 6 but only took 1 so I owe her 5.

Here’s the deal. I have enough t-shirts in my closet to wear one a day for most of the year and then there are my polos, shirt sleeves and dress shirts. Some of these date back to high school. Most are very 80s and several promote defunct radio stations. So, for each new shirt that comes in, two shirts go out. You can help make me stylish by trading one new, hip shirt for two older shirts of your choosing.

I’ll have to photograph the closet.

Noah scores a redux.

Dad, looking at the wet ground and murky sky: “Noah, do you need a ride [to the bus stop]?”
Noah, chipperly: “Nope, it’s only 7:09.”

Today’s contorted English “chipperly” because it just doesn’t get any better than that!

Dad: “Noah, have you brushed your teeth?”
Noah, 9 years with dumbfounded look on face and spoke as if I should know better: “I brushed them last night.”

Well what was I thinking?!

No guy in his right mind is going to stick this in his pants! You aren’t getting anything near Mr. Dangly that has blades and says "3 speeds!"

Not Walken 2008 August 17, 2005 1:21 pm

When I posted Good Hoax? referring to Christopher Walken for President 2008 I jaunted over to my favorite place to verify information before I haphazardly forward it on or publish it, Snopes. Yesterday Snopes had nothing which totally surprised me and gave some potential validity to the possibility; today Snopes reports Walken for President a hoax.

So, these guys that tracked down the bogus trail of information in the domain registrations deserve a kudos for calling it as it was. Kind of a shame. He would have been a fun president.

PAW – Parents Are Watching! August 17, 2005 12:30 pm

Cheat Notes blog has turned us onto the Internet Slang Dictionary and Translator helping me to feel old and broken today by pointing out that I didn’t know PAW stood for "parents are watching." I guess the kids as they get older will learn about RLO and KSTDA, "router logs on" and "keystroke tracking device attached."
