Milestones they don’t mention

When the wife was pregnant with Big D, our first kid, I thought that I could just skim through the What to Expect series and learn pretty much everything I ever needed to know about raising babies. Not quite. Don’t get me wrong, these books are very valuable resources (which I’m pretty sure [...]

The most awesome fart joke post ever

I was gonna write the most awesome post ever today.  It was about a paper that Big D wrote at school about his summer vacation.  It was awesome.  Unfortunately, I can no longer find the paper and it’s not the kind of thing that I can just recreate here.  You’d have to see it for yourself [...]

I have a shrinkage problem

If you’ve ever happened to click on my About page (I think there’s been about two of you who have), you’re probably aware of the fact that I sure enjoy me some ice creams.  This post was inevitable.
Recently, I started noticing that the 1.75 qt ice cream cartons have somehow shrunk down to 1.5 qt.  This is not cool.  I’m [...]

The moon is NOT made out of vegetables

When we were in Arkansas about a month ago, we bought a few of those little handheld 20Q games to entertain the kids during the long, crappy drive back.  They were on clearance for two dollars (the games, not the kids HAR HAR), so it was a no-brainer.
I discovered last night that if you start out with a spoon in [...]

Fact and opinion

1.  Big D checked out a library book a couple of months ago and we can’t find it anywhere.  We’ve just been renewing it online and hoping that it shows up one of these days.
2.  I got four comments on my last post!  That’s quite an achievement for me.  The wife is so jealous it [...]
