Just in the past year or so have my nephew William (almost 4) and my son Izzy (almost 2) been able to play together. They LOVE to go to Grammy’s house and play in her new puppy’s cage. In and out, in and out. It’s like a fort for little boys. How fun! Izzy even [...]
Ronny, my brother, has hit some rough roads in his life and we offered to take him in. He’s happy having somewhere to stay, but oh my goodness Izzy absolutely LOVES him! The first night he came to stay, Izzy wouldn’t go to bed. It got to about 11pm and he still wanted to stay [...]
Blogs are a lot like bedrooms; if you do a lot of living in them, they’re bound to accumulate some clutter. It wasn’t until recently that I started looking around the site and noticing the trash piling up. So, I decided to pick up after myself. It was during this bout of blog cleaning that [...]
If you ever come to visit. Keep your shoes on!!! My son LOVES SHOES. He wakes up in the morining, he may not even be wearing pants and he wants me to put his shoes on him! He wants to wear my shoes and Daddy’s shoes. His own shoes with Uncle Ronny’s shoes over top. [...]
I’ve really taken to loving online comic strips lately, including Ctrl+Alt+Del and Dilbert (which is obligatory for a white collar desk jockey like me). I was particularly excited when, browsing del.icio.us one day, I happened upon the Order of the Stick website. For those of you who don’t read Dragon magazine, Order of the Stick [...]
It was the first month of my first semester in college. Having decided to stay disciplined away from home, I had signed up for an 8:30 weight training class. I returned from the gym that morning very sweaty and plopped down on the bed in my small dorm room. I lay there for a few [...]
The Deck of Many Things has been a part of Dungeons & Dragons for several editions now. It’s been around at least as long as I’ve been playing (approximately 14 years). For those who’ve never heard of it, it’s an artifact-level deck of cards. Players can elect to draw from the deck to achieve powerful [...]
The more I see come out of Microsoft nowadays, the more it looks like an empire ready to crumble under its own weight. Maybe I’m just a biased Google fanboy, but this video seems to indicate otherwise. My wife sent it to me at work and it was all I could do to keep from [...]
Just yesterday, Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter himself, died. I, like millions of others, had seen his shows and met the news with a bit of disappointment. After all, he was a very entertaining guy. For many of us Americans, he embodied the Australian stereotype; whenever I think of the word “Crikey!” I think of [...]
For those of you who don’t know, Blazerunner is a level 56 elite fire elemental in the cave atop Fire Plume Ridge in Un’Goro Crater. He’s moderately impressive-looking, although my jaded eyes, after seeing the likes of Ragnaros and Nefarian, regarded him with no small degree of impunity. Now, I play a level 60 warlock [...]
