Exciting, Possibly

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011In which I am given something to ponder.
The Day Henry Took the Gold.
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Henry: “Look! I got a gold medal, a bouquet of flowers, and even a magazine! All from speed skating!” Me: “You’re really good.” Henry: “I trained.”
The Day I Accounted for the Past Three Days.
Monday, February 15th, 2010Okay, so let’s see here. Friday Friday was The Day I Started Reading an Actual Book Instead of Playing Goddamn Video Games All the Fucking Time. Perhaps it’s best I didn’t use that as a post title, as it’s kind of long and unwieldy. Yeah, so I’ve been in this infinite loop lately where I [...]
The Day We Got All This Snow.
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I woke up today to find about six inches and rapidly counting of new snow, and it was really exciting. No, seriously, listen: I keep hearing from my family and friends how Oklahoma keeps getting blizzard after blizzard, and all the while we’ve had the barest dusting of snow malingering barely visible at the bases [...]
oh, Kotter. you old so-n-so.
Saturday, November 1st, 2008It’s not that nothing’s been going on lately, and thus I haven’t been writing about it. It’s just that the same things have gone on in repeat succession, day after day, and that those things are quite frankly kind of bumming me out, and thus I guess I’d just rather not give these things the [...]
… riiiiight …
Saturday, September 13th, 2008… so today we cut through the cemetery on our way to get a hamburger*. And we were slowly following this winding path through the place. And we rounded a corner next to this big pond in the middle of things. And there was a coyote eating a Canada Goose he’d killed. In the middle [...]
90210: The Zombie Corpse Rises
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008From the Yahoo TV listing for tonight’s premiere of the reanimated 90210: “When a dedicated teacher and his family return to his childhood home of Beverly Hills so he can look after his ailing but still expansively vivacious mother, they all have to adjust: his athlete wife becomes personal trainer to the rich parents of [...]
home, sweet jerks
Saturday, July 12th, 2008I will not say I never knew that getting home from vacation is often the best part of any trip, because I totally knew that. I will simply say that it’s been especially sweet thus far. The trip home was fine, mostly. Apparently a thunderhead imploded in Waukegan, just north of Chicago, which created a [...]
…. aaand Fire.
Sunday, July 6th, 2008Normalcy is the last thing I’ll claim is happening to me, people, but two days in Stigler has at least reminded me of the finer things in life. Those are, in no particular order: explosives homemade beer potato cannons smoked meat beans board games tiny dogs naps relatives who mostly look after your three-year-old tiny [...]
tales of brave Ulysses
Saturday, June 14th, 2008Oh, persons. It’s a bit of a slog here these days. The thick black tar of truly deep depression remains at bay due to the miracle of modern overpriced pharmaceuticals, but said looming specter is doing a truly half-assed job of hiding itself. Picture it hiding behind, say, a two-year-old sapling, and you’ll have a [...]
