Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeBrought to us by iWon:
Our greatest happiness in life does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
– Thomas Jefferson
You know, Mr. Jefferson looks a little bit like Gene Wilder‘s Willy Wonka!
I find this quote interesting because "the condition of life in which chance has placed us" is deplorable right now. Of course "chance" is me in this case. I’m not so certain I live in good conscience now-a-days. We are relatively healthy but I fear that is starting to fade. The poor cannot afford health. Occupation…huh…botched. Freedom? Freedom is for people with money. So what of happiness? We don’t meet TJ’s criteria. We have sustained happiness because we are a strong family but I fear TJ may be on to something.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeTo give a thorough cleaning of our kitchen consistently takes me 2 hours. I’m an hour and fifteen minutes into it and about halfway done.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Family, SarahToday is the last of day of school. As the year wore on, Sarah left the house progressively later and later without a care on whether or not she missed the bus. Today she left earlier than she has left all year. She carries only 3 nalgene water bottles
Under the gun at Noah’s expense May 25, 2006 4:52 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Family, NoahObligation is keeping me from preparing for Noah’s party as I would like. I know he is going to have a blast even if the only thing we were to do was have his friends over. Naturally we are doing more than that but weather is threatening to interfere with our plans. I want to do so much better for him.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesWhat did one snowman say to the other snowman?
This question Kelvin posed to Desmond but haven’t we heard it before? Hasn’t Locke said it? Additionally, wasn’t it told to Michael in the hospital?
This Joke was actually told in one of the episodes in season 1. When Michael was in the hospital he wanted to send a card to Walt but didnt know what to write. So the Nurse told him to draw a picture and put in a joke “what did the snowman say to the other snowman?” The answer was Freeze.

Lost in work – Charlie is an Other May 24, 2006 7:44 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesDean was correct. And thanks for the reminder!. I’ve been franticly trying to please my clients. Up at 3:30am and asleep sometime between 10pm and midnight. The rest of the day is work work work with necessary breaks to meet family need. However! I wanted to get one Lost note in from last week.
All the reviews I read were good. I think some people wrongly assess the episode as light. I found it a very necessary and connecting piece. Some of the characters have gone directions that I never expected. Locke was so strong in season one and season two has given him a beating but don’t we all go through that in life? We have our strong moments then we have our times of weakness where no matter how hard we try things don’t seem to go our way. Before I commented on this I had wanted to watch the episode again. Time didn’t permit so here is my comment that I only saw one person so lightly touch on…
Is Charlie working with The Others? Bringing the medicine to Claire was too convenient. It was also wrong. If you medical equipment like that wouldn’t you take it to the doctor instead of to a new born?! And to say he knows it doesn’t hurt because he has tried it is almost admitting that he is getting shots. I seriously doubt the vials would have such specific instructions. If you were among The Others or whomever the medicine is intended, you would be briefed on why and how to use it. Does that make Desmond an Other? The directions are specific to Claire. Charlie did not find the medicine! He was instructed to deliver it.
I am very much looking forward to tonight’s episode!

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeHave you ever looked at someone and wanted to shout, "Cut down on the botox!" and maybe as an after thought, "and drink some water." I saw this piece of leather in the car beside me today and couldn’t fight back a brief tribute to Joe DeRita. Yeeaaa ahhhh. Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck. I guess people from the beach are retiring in Knoxville.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Family, NoahYesterday the neighbor caught me in the driveway as I started to take Noah to karate.
Neighbor: "Doug is Noah home? Beth (a first grader) is over an hour late."
Dad: "Noah is in the car."
Neighbor: "Noah, did Lisa (Beth’s mother) pickup Beth?"
Noah, 10 years: "No."
Dad: "Did Beth ride the bus home with you?"
Noah: "Yes."
Dad: "Did she walk home with you?"
Noah: "Yes."
Dad: "Do you know where she is?"
Noah: "No, her mom took her somewhere."
