  • The Guilty Provider

    Today is beautifully sunny. Apparently the children have a dental appointment in 2 hours (on Memorial Day?!). I’m at the computer programming and feeling guilty that I’m not spending time with the children.

  • Confessions of a programmer

    Confessions of a programmer: I never presume the previous developer was incompetent. Instead, I assume they just had a drug problem. #coap

  • Lawnmower repairs

    This time the carburetor rebuild worked…damn.

  • From the mouths of babes

    Her: What do you want for dinner?
    Him: *something* *something* *9 1/2 weeks* *inappropriate* *something*
    Her: Help me!
    Him: What?
    Her, holding up iPhone: Somehow, I don’t know how, it recorded that.
    Him, grabbing iPhone sees an audio message sent to…Granny.
    Him bolts out front door to see Granny fidgeting with her phone.
    Him opens door to car and grabs phone.
    Granny: I’ve never received an audio message before.
    Him: I think it recorded silence.
    13 year old, giggling: I think Dad recorded something by accident.
    Him: It was your mother and it had secrets. *delete*
    Her: I deleted it but it just took a while.
    Him: That deletes it off your phone, not hers!
    Him: Awkward.

  • Sunday night

    I’ve reached that point in the evening where I acknowledge I’m too tired to program but could muster and go a few more hours. Or I could relax with a book. Or television with the wife. Or guitar on the porch while the storm rolls in. Or meditate. Or fret. Or clean the kitchen. Or clean my desk downstairs. Or plan. Or or or or…sleep.
