So long and thanks for all the fish.
Be well and take care.
Last night I'm driving home after collecting the wife at her office and having had a great chat with my girl, Notthe7. We are pulling over Hollywood Hill and my aunt is calling me. We do the typical "how's the fam, etc." and then she tells me why she is calling.
"Stevie is looking for you. He...
As a parent, I find myself often listening to the kids describing the fun field trip or some extracurricular activity and then kind of skating over their lessons. Often when this happens I find myself saying "But what did you learn?" After some inner analysis, I am asking myself that same...
So Christmas morning I beat the rest of the house to waking up. I turned on the news as is my morning ritual and there was a news story about a multiple murder in Carnation. Side note: Carnation is about 20 minutes east of where we live in Woodinville. This is a very tiny town and a very tight...
It is the morning after. The battlefield is littered with fallen Planet Heroes and Transformers, all is quiet for the generals are sound asleep. No longer is my living room overrun by the sounds of racing games on the X-Box. Instead I take this quiet time to ponder back on some of the funnier...
So now that I have your attention, I would like to start this blog with the inspiration behind it:
I know everyone hates religious banter here, but I was just thinking that my faith belief is nothing like what I hear people here railing against.
For starters, there is a huge difference...
So I am sitting here looking at something that just made me cry. Now before I tell you why it made me cry, I should step back to Thursday.
I had just spent another afternoon of my life wasted and e-mailing and texting my office from the lobby of the Redmond District Courts building. I was...
So yesterday, a friend of mine from LPSG and I are doing our periodic PM tag exchange and the subject of how I live my life and how I come across came up. Well it is no big surprise that my name got drug through the mud on OLPSG and many people have thought I was way to calm and peaceful a...
So today finds me home from the office as the 5 year old had his school cancelled, the baby's daycare is surrounded an all sides by flooding, the older kids started school later, and the wife had to go into her office to save her residents.
I am looking out the window at the rain still coming...
So yesterday morning I am wandering around the house, doing my morning "get ready for the day" routine and Montel is watching me run around doing my thing. Suddenly something catches my ear:
"I'd like to introduce you to a black woman who says she isn't black."
This stopped me in my tracks...
So since I see a trend in PMs (and I have re-read some of my posts from this past week), I feel I should let you guys know I am OK. Even Mother Teresa had her down moments. This must be one of mine.
To explain the posts? I guess I just see the same old arguements about the same old things...
So in my post about the young girl who had an attraction for me, I introduced my friend and protector, Maddie. Maddie saved me and now I have to save Maddie. Let me start with yesterday when I got to the office.
Maddie was coming up the aisle past my cubicle and says "I need to talk to you."...
I returned to my domicile after a wonderful day (Flipping Chiefs lost after leading the whole dang game) to find the massive mountains of dirt gone, my driveway sort of put back together like a destroyed Pompeiian sidewalk a and the water pressure back in the house.
I still have no front...
Saturday November 3, 11 AM:
I am sitting at my desk having a chat with one of the travel advisors and I get a text message. It's DW, the message reads as thus:
"They brought in the backhoe."
Great, that little leak that lead to a $500 water bill is now causing my front yard to be turned...
So for those who know and have read the blog, the last few months has been no picnic. Oddly enough, the last 2 days has really changed things in a huge, wonderful way.
Last night, the stepson and I attended his first counseling session. I found out a lot about how he feels about me. He...
Thought I'd use a couple of my favorite British terms in the title, but they do fit.
So DW (Dear Wife) and I had a meeting with our 16 year old drain bamaged son's school staff. In the room was the Vice Principal who had forgotten he had a black stepdad and was apologizing all over himself...
BLOG: Short for "Web log," a specialized site that allows an individual or group of individuals to share a running log of events and personal insights with online audiences. Blogs with political or current-events themes have grown in popularity and become "soap boxes" for instant mass-audience...
Yesterday morning I am getting ready to walk out the door and run a couple of early morning errands. Mambo #5 comes blaring out of my cell phone meaning it is my brother on the phone. I answer and my brother greets me and says "What I am about to say may shock you."
Before I jump into this, a...
I post this blog, rather video in response to NJQT's blog, Thug culture "ideals" destroy black culture.
As I made my last comment on her blog, I was watching CBS Sunday Morning and the story of a young black man with one leg who is a championship skier moved me and also makes my arguement that...
OK, so I've raided the store for stuff easily prepared on a camp stove, stocked us up on firewood and diapers for the baby. All the summer lawn furniture and yard toys are picked up, Halloween stuff is either secured to it's spot or hiding in the garage.
Car is set incase trees fall. The...
