While we’re on the subject of my awesome friends, I feel a need to mention James Peters, aka Jampet. James is a proponent/practitioner of long-distance skateboarding, specifically skate pumping, or “skumping,” in which the goal is to… Well, here’s how Jampet puts it on his Web site:
Skumping (skump’-ing) verbThe act of skateboarding long distances without [...]

A couple months ago (not sure exactly when, but it was before we got the new living room furniture) I filmed Zoey playing around in the living room, and happened to catch her doing her booty shakin’ dance, along with a lot of running around in a circle. With mambo music playing on the stereo [...]

Grandma Arlene bought some fingernail polish for Zoey, but they never got around to trying it out before Grandma had to go back home. Well, the other day Rona took care of that.

Follow me, Dadt!

Chris and Nicole and I got back from Gen Con last night, and my talented and adorable wife picked us up at the airport (thanks, Sweetie!). The show was great, as has been documented elsewhere, but I hope to post some of my own thoughts soon.

Well, Sears decided that they weren’t coming until Tuesday. My mom yelled at them for a while… and I have let it go. We have more important things to worry about. Although, the weirdest thing happened last night. I heard ice drop into the ice bucket. So, I checked to see if the water was [...]
