Hook, line, sinker
The OakRider bought Atomic Tumor! (Don’t miss the related Haiku.)
And by the way, Google is giving away free broadband. And Gmail is providing a paper archive of your email.
What would we do without Google Maps?
Of Grasshoppers
Student: I have to manipulate the fabric of time this week.
Master: Stop thinking about it and just do it.
Today’s Waste of Time
Well now. Here’s 8 minutes and 52 seconds of your life that I cannot give back. It’s in German but that doesn’t matter. Just keep watching.
Introducing the book
I assume everyone has seen this but because it epitomizes part of my life so well I must share.
Of Grasshoppers
Student: I need a counselor.
Master: You have me!
Bad parenting – More thoughts on Blogfest
"Kids, don’t ever arrange to meet anyone in real life that you’ve met online." Ummm. Unless it is a party with lots of people that you have only met online…

Snow and Ice Coming!
The wife implied that if we get snowed in we might get to do something adult! I dust off the supplies to find we have two winter coats. Woot! We are prepared to be snowed in for weeks!
So I thought I would peruse the Intertubes and brush up on my etiquette. Hmm. Apparently I’m not doing so well missing 3 out of 4 of The Big Don’ts for iced in and trying to stay warm exercises. Let’s examine.
Number One Don’t
Jump immediately up and run to the bathroom
Has someone been spying on us?
Number Two Don’t
Turn to one side of the bed and immediately sleep
That directly conflicts with The Man Manual!
Number Three Don’t
Make any sarcastic or joking remarks about the previous moments
Not fair! Natural noises, cramps, children’s footsteps on the stairs, curious pets, and light sleeping babies can turn what should be a feature length drama/action adventure with great special effects into a high speed, 3 minute YouTube comedy. How could one not joke?
Number Four Don’t
Check your mobile phone for messages or missed calls
Not a problem there. We just take the calls and keep going! Let your imagination wander next time we talk…
Of Grasshoppers
Student: Can I try to snatch the stone from your hand?
Master: A person who tries never succeeds. A person you does always succeeds.
