Or, "My Life on the Interwebs".

First, I recorded my podcast. You can find it here.

Second, I went from there to a party/cookout at the house of the father of Kid#1's best friend, who is a pretty good musician and hangs around with pretty good musicians. I ended up on "stage" with them for "The Weight". (That's me in the cap and sunglasses, ( Read more... )

First, a lovely time at the New Year's party at werewulf's, with all involved beating on my chest to play the drums. (Ya hadda be there.) Thank you to all ( Read more... )

Last night I got rather plotzed and happy at werewulf's party, which was very successful. (The party, I mean, not necessarily my drunk - those I suppose that was successful as well.) The GoH got some nice prezzies, and - as she kept repeating throughout the night - she now has her own theme song. I mean, how great is that ( Read more... )

I have more to say about my walk on Friday, but the weekend intervened - which is, all told, a damned good thing. The remainder of the walk will be blogged about later. (And a note to myself: that's more mileage towards Rivendell. Google Earth shall reveal the happy numbers. A positive thing overall, as I've been eating terribly of late and I ( Read more... )

Holy Magoo, it's cold. The widget is proclaiming a rise to -10 (that's 14 F in dog years), a wind chill of -20 (-4 F), and a skin-constricting 20% (20%) humidity. The heat pump, which has been having problems over the past several months, is just not up to the task at our place; the downstairs is barely above 60 F ( Read more... )

goudagirl posted that interview meme, and I went right to the bait. I'm a sucker for those things...which, as they are, are pretty good for memes. At least we have a chance to open up about ourselves a little and control the responses a bit better, instead of finding out that if I was a Pokémon, I'd be Squirtle, or something ( Read more... )

I am still a bit in shock, here. I had a party, an amazing one. And no, it wasn't my idea.

efbq got a bunch of folks together at her mother's house for a surprise birthday party. For me ( Read more... )

Leaving in a bit for my sister's; after that, we'll be party-hopping over to werewulf's, I think. Sis was not too pleased about that, but I'm not really interested in seeing the fireworks in Baltimore tonight - not to mention that getting up there will be a real bear, since the Ravens are playing at the Stadium (I still want to write "Memorial Stadium ( Read more... )

Around this time of year, I'm always wrestling with the "Christmas spirit" - do I have enough, do I have too much, am I wrong for having it? Do I need to do more for my kids, my wife, my friends or family, my fellow man? Or should I just knock it off and leave everyone the heck alone?

( I ponder in a most ponderous way )

I enjoy reading bOINGbOING from time to time, but they do have a tendency to bias, such as lampooning everything having to do with religion while listing Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion as a "good documentary". It's fine by me, because I don't mind and indeed seek out opinions different than my own on a fairly regular basis...indeed, as a Green ( Read more... )
