    Tonight at 10

    Monday, May 9th, 2011

    One of my favorite things is when the DVR starts recording in the middle of a sentence. This goes double when it’s a news promo. This goes triple when the sentence fragment is the one I just heard in this context: “—wading into the snake-infested floodwaters.”

    This Poo Shall Pass

    Things will happen way down deep in the places you try to think when you see this.

    Every Day an Adventure

    In which I am given something to ponder.

    The Day Henry Had a Million-Dollar Idea.

    Monday, March 1st, 2010

    Henry: Okay, how about this! It’s a chocolate bar, and when you rub it on your skin, it makes you stay alive forever!

    The Day I Read a Really Terrific Story.

    Thursday, February 18th, 2010

    Apparently it’s been making the round on the Internets of late, but I read this story about Roger Ebert for the first time today and it moved me in a way I have trouble fully expressing. I love reading about him and his wife, and how they are when they’re together after decades of marriage. [...]

    The Day I Saw a Major Award

    Monday, February 8th, 2010

    I saw this in the window of the apartment building across from the coffee shop about 45 minutes ago, and it’s been making me chuckle ever since. That’s right, people. This is A Major Award. I love this town.

    The Day We Got a Break.

    Saturday, February 6th, 2010

    When I woke up this morning there was none of the usual drone from Nick Jr. in the living room. Only what sounded like a semi-serious conversation from behind Henry’s bedroom door between him and the girl who lives upstairs. She’s two years older than him; her brother is two years older than her, and [...]

    the things you find out.

    Thursday, October 29th, 2009

    So here’s something I came across in the past year and a half and didn’t bother telling anyone about.

Catercorner from the building I worked in for a few weeks was this strange little building, [...]
