I have posted about The Dead Milkmen before, and while I’d like to go into more detail about my enjoyment of the band I don’t have a heck of a lot of time today. So instead I’m going to post this video of the song that introduced me to the band. Airing on MTV in…
I hate “girls” movies. Why? Because they are usually condescending towards the gender, with emphasis on fashion or boys or whatever. The better stories geared towards girls are much more universal in appeal. Look at Buffy The Vampire Slayer, a strong central female character that appealed to both men and women. My Little Pony: Friendship…
This is not my first time participating in National Blog Post Month, or NaBloPoMo. Initially started in 2006 it has been spearheaded by BlogHer since 2011 for every month but November is still the “main” focus for NaBloPoMo for most of us. Yes, even dad bloggers participate. At least this one has (and does). Why…
Yes, it is Halloween, and no, I don’t have any pictures of kids in costumes. Yet. That will be another post, probably tomorrow. Last Friday was decent day, weather-wise, and Xavier took advantage be tromping through the leaves on the way to school. Monday was one of the days for gymnastics signups for the winter session….

They weren’t pulled together until Elvis Costello’s second album, though not…
A packed week full of… well, let’s jump into it. Tevye is starting to sit up on his own now. He’s five and a half months old, has two teeth and smiles a heck of a lot. Saturday saw another gymnastic competition for Déla. This time I got some video. Here’s her vault routine which…
I am in the shower when there’s a knock on the door. Laura has already gone to work and with time before the kids have to get to school I had a few minutes and was trying to put it to good use. Déla said something about Ciárán and while I didn’t catch everything she…
Yesterday I had an appointment with a gastroenterologist as a follow-up appointment to my hospital visit. This was at the main building on Capitol Hill, which if you’re not familiar with Seattle is close enough to downtown to be a pain in the ass, especially with parking, considering I’m coming from 7 miles north. Sure,…
