The weekend was full and overstuffed. On Saturday, Charles and I spent all morning doing yard work in a vain effort to tire him out so he’d have an early nap. We dug, and mulched (“melched,” as Charles puts it), and trimmed, and planted. The “early nap” plan was an utter failure, of course; he […] My day so far: Charles woke us at 6:15 by falling out of bed and initiating Maximum Tears. Then on the way north I got the bird flipped at me by some dumb broad from New Jersey who was in the left lane holding up traffic all the way through the city. So let’s star […] It’s like playing 20 questions, if the questioner is outrageously stupid. Stolen from Chris Turner via Facebük. First thing you wash in the shower? My face, in a (so far) almost complete and utter failure to try and keep my skin clear. What color is your favorite hoodie? Rojo. Would you kiss the last person […] If you have a pair of dress pants with elastic in the waist, you probably have considered eating Cheetos for breakfast. If you have a bumper sticker that says “Pay no attention to my car, my treasure is stored in Heaven,” you probably believe in horoscopes. If you think Golden Corral is haute cuisine, […] In Lancaster, California, Honda decided it would be fun to carve grooves in a road such that when you drive over them, the vibration of your suspension plays a song. They decided, for unknown reasons, to use the William Tell Overture, by Giaochino “Joey Chinos” Rossini. In case you haven’t watched the Lone Ranger recently, […] One of the side effects of the amoxicillin that’s clearing up Charles’s ear infections is that it tends to give him diahrrea, which if he doesn’t tell us about, sits in his diaper until we do a regularly scheduled change. This gives him devastating diaper rash, and is unfortunately a vicious cycle: because it hurts […] I feel guilty for laughing at these things, but cannot help myself: Andrew Sullivan shows us how the Catholic Church feels about its youth. This young lady loves her some John Mayer. (For which I do not fault her; he’s like a tattoo’d god.) A new iPhone app that everybody would want, if Apple hadn’t […] Andrew Sullivan, Keith Olbermann, and Rachel Maddow all took Karl Rove to task for this stupidity. I might as well join in! Let’s break it down like En Vogue: What the Obama administration’s done in the last several days is very dangerous. What they’ve essentially said is, if we have policy disagreements with our predecessors, […] Here’s a snap from Tuesday’s ball game, described here.
I’ve been trying to find fun stuff to do with Charles before The Baby comes and takes us out of the power play and into man-to-man coverage. Earlier in the month we went to the zoo (always a favorite for me; I love a good capybara). Yesterday, I discovered that as a result of Monday […] |
