The Mundane

July 30th, 2008 · 3 Comments · detroit, life, random thoughts, the kids, whatever

In the past week I/we did these things (in no particular order):
1. Went golfing with Steve before he left town. Discovered we all suck pretty badly at golf.
2. Went to a Tigers game a few rows back from the dugout.

3. Acted like we knew what we were doing after watching our 100th episode of The [...]

March 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment · life, owning a home, the kids

Ahhh springtime, I had almost forgotten how good you feel. The time of year where the sun warms & the permafrost rolls back to reveal FOUR MONTHS WORTH OF DOG SHIT IN THE BACK YARD.

July 31st, 2007 · No Comments · How To Annoy Me, the kids

I got a letter in the mail yesterday from a claims adjuster for Iams.
