If you go to the store to buy a box of Cheerios, the 8.8oz box is $4.29 and the 16oz box is $4.89. For $0.60 more you get nearly twice the quantity. Big box, save money. Awesome.

Recently Cheerios has decided to return to the tradition many of us experienced, looked forward to and damn near counted on of putting little toys in the cereal...

I should know better by now not to extend color choices to my clients when designing software for them. It never goes well. I guess I never expected the words "I want it to be spicy" come out of the mouth of a US Navy officer as it related to color palette selection.

So much for THAT theory.

I suppose the final choices COULD have...

Well fuck nuggets on a stick. Apparently living in Seattle means our car is going to get broken in to at least once a year. Last year we were at a movie downtown when it happened and they stole clothes out of the car. Tonight LizaRose was at rehearsal and they stole the GPS out of the glove box.

This now makes the 5th theft...

Today at lunch I found out about something that is going to be the source of many nightmares in the days to come - The Holy Land Experience. That's right . . . a Christian theme park.

Instead of the animatronic Hall of Presidents . . . it is the translation of the bible from Latin to English.
Instead of shows involving a princess or...

Tonight I get to go see LizaRose perform. You may think this would be pretty normal for me but in reality it is only the second time I have seen her perform since May '06.

I kinda feel bad for the babysitter though. The little monkey flopped around in bed until the wee hours of the morning and barely took a nap today. He is...

Tonight I made Palak paneer from scratch.

The rice is almost done cooking.

The naan is in the oven.

I doubt there will be leftovers.

The time has come to get a new mattress. The old one has survived for seven years, six moves and one baby.

The mattress we are looking at is fancy in an eco-sustainability kinda way. It is made out of Castor bean oil memory foam and has a bamboo/cotton blend cover. Sounds funky but every review I read gives it a 5/5.

I am a...

We are headed home tomorrow.

Over the last 10 days I have brought two bathrooms from asbestos abatement/demolition to bare studs and joists then right back to new floors, walls, electrical, plumbing, and sewer. The only things missing are tile and paint.

I'm tired.

Hrmm . . . over 6 months since my last update. Guess I better do something about that.

Let me see . . . a few changes over that time and a few more coming up in the near future.

For starters, LizaRose, Oren and I are moving to Seattle in just over a month. We knew we had to move at the end...

Needed: a few friends willing to help me carry a heavy object in exchange for beer and food

When: May 5th around 5pm


Seriously . . . I need some help. I am picking up the final aquarium for my system. This one is made out of acrylic, so it will be lighter than the glass tank Stiles and I carried up last June. Even...
