  • Underwear and Balls

    Ethan asked if he could try sleeping with underwear at night. He said, “If I pee in the sheets then I will go back to pull-ups”. Two nights in a row, he is dry as a bone. Good Boy. He is pleased with himself. I am pleased with him too. He also said this morning,…

  • First word

    Matt said his first word (I think). He said Abu Ghraib. He was very distinct and clear. I am just unsure why he chose to say that. Could he be saying that Abu Ghraib is a sign of American willingness to be as brutal as any dictatorship and look the other way while still clinging…

  • Windows

    I provide technical support for a dozen or so people on an ad hoc basis. I have recommended software to people countless times. I have supported the Microsoft view of the world and Windows software for 20 years. I have never installed Linux (sorry Aunt Susie). This article shows the basic gameplan for Microsoft to…

  • Back Home

    It’s good to be back home. Its nice and temperate. I love our house. It feels so comfortable. Now if only we could clean out the garage and put everything away. Maybe I could make the crib too. And hang up some pictures. Good to be back at work too. One day we will go…

  • Snowed In

    We were scheduled to fly out of JFK on Saturday, but 30 inches of snow conspired to keep us on the east coast. The first flight JetBlue could reschedule us was Tuesday morning. So we need to get up tomorrow at 5am to pack and get the car to the airport and go over to…

  • The End?

    Yes, the Jets somehow lost the game. But let me start at the beginning. My brother scheduled his wedding at the exact time of the game against Pittsburgh. I told him not to do it, but would he listen? No. Nice brother huh? So my only link to the game was a 40 year old…

  • J-E-T-S

    The Jets won in a roller coaster game! Woo hoo! One step closer to the superbowl! You know…I think I predicted a superbowl win this year. As a matter of fact, I predicted it on September 10, 2004, at 2:08pm. Two days before the season started. God told me so. Right after he told me…

  • Crossfire

    CNN has apparently decided to cancel Crossfire as reported by the New York Times. They apparently cite John Stewart of the Daily Show when he said that point-counterpoint style shows are “hurting America”. This is a HUGE coup for Comedy Central. I am proud of them. Comedy is the only “good” way of making change…

  • Keeping Busy

    I think I am much happier when I can be productive. When my efforts do not go towards the progress of something, I feel frustrated and tense. I think maintenance of things is important, but the feeling of creative production is so fullfilling to me. This is a double-edged sword. I need to remember always…

  • Two Thousand and Five

    I’m happy to be back at work. The holidays are such work. So without getting into the details…we all had a good time, and I got a cool remote control. 🙂 Something interesting…I was explaining to Ethan what a “year” means. I showed him using his light (on his bedroom ceiling) as the sun. I…
