Not really. To be truthful, it wasn’t even One Score ago. It was Three-Quarters of a Score ago. Fifteen years. It just feels like 87…no, that’s not right either. Fifteen years ago. February 11, 1993. The day I was presented with a fortune cookie that changed my life. This cookie didn’t hold magic lottery numbers,… Continue reading Four Score and Seven Years Ago

Little Miss Smartypants
The following is a transcript of an actual conversation that occurred between us and our now-5-year-old Miss Smartypants. We were walking into Target for a few things and Little Miss Smartypants kept wandering into the traffic aisle of the parking lot. Matt reminded her several times to come closer to the parked cars, but by… Continue reading Little Miss Smartypants
I am Hawking
Go figure. I have no idea what in tarnation that means. But if I was one of the survivors of Oceanic 815, thus would be my new name according to Sawyer.  I know this because I went to Sawyer’s Nickname Generator to find out. In honor of the return of “Lost”, I urge you: Go… Continue reading I am Hawking
Super Ads
On to happier subjects, shall we? Since the game was so depressing, I thought I’d lighten the mood a bit by sharing my top 5 ads from Super Bowl XLII. We begin at #5 with a promo for “Prison Break.” I don’t watch the show, but I did love this ad.

Sunday Evening QB (a.k.a. another “Can’t-wait-for-Monday-morning” QB): Super Bowl Edition
I so don’t want to talk about it.
How fat ARE we??
Matt has been waiting for me to post about this, so here I go. Yesterday, I took Peekaboo in to see the vet. For a few months, she’s had this rough, scaly skin on her back, mangy-looking fur, and lots of kitty dandruff. I feared ringworm, though it didn’t look like the kind she had… Continue reading How fat ARE we??
“Goal”post: Month 1
We are officially one month into the New Year, and in order to help keep myself accountable I’ll be keeping track of my progress toward reaching my 2008 goals with a monthly “goal” post. (Get it? “Goal”post? Goalpost? Oh, never mind…) Goalpost #1: Creativity The results on the calendar speak for themselves: an average of… Continue reading “Goal”post: Month 1
“Cross”-examination: Stonebriar Community Church
It would practically be a crime to live in the Dallas area and not visit Chuck Swindoll’s church at least once! So this week, off we went to Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, a stone’s throw from Matt’s new office.
Pine One Derby!
So Trey calls the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. Last year, conflicts with Upward Basketball’s picture day prevented Trey from being a part of the Pinewood Derby. This was doubly sad considering that out of the whole pack only 3 Tigers entered last year, preventing them from having a design competition in that age division. But… Continue reading Pine One Derby!
Gym-time Fun
I saw this at the gym today, and it just struck me as funny. I was on the elliptical, and saw the target heart rate chart on the side of the display. The ages are listed by 10’s, with the target heart rate for both fat burn and cardio zones beside. Upon further study, I… Continue reading Gym-time Fun
