Happy third birthday Agamemnon!
This crazy little guy gets to celebrate his third birthday (an estimate from the shelter) and I’m grateful for every day he spends with me. If you didn’t remember, he had a near miss with an early appointment for the … Continue reading
Fifty-three trips around the Sun today
Since today is my day to be king of the world and I could afford to take a vacation day, I will spare the world any long, opinionated, whatever entry. I do want to thank Jennifer for making these last two … Continue reading
Happy 11th birthday Isis!
Today is the day I officially made Isis a part of my family in 2013 and declared it was her new birthday. Of course, she only had the working name of “Buttercup” until Isis was the declared the winner and … Continue reading
Belated Birthday to Jennifer!
Ten days ago, Jennifer celebrated her birthday. It does annoy her that she has to share it with the Fourth be with You! She has a point. When I turned 13, all eyes were on the wedding of two inbreds … Continue reading
I’ve made it around the Sun 52 times
If it weren’t for Jennifer, great friends, great cats, my fun hobbies, my personal stream, my Macs and Austin (none in any particular order), the pandemic would’ve made this the worst birthday since 1985. Speaking of its 35th anniversary, I’ll … Continue reading

Thanks for the wishes and all, mellow day
Took it mostly easy yesterday. Had to get up relatively early to have some finishing touches done to my new car, goop they put on the windshield to protect it from all the damned rocks and gravel here. Then I … Continue reading

Fifty trips around the Sun
Well, I made it this far…and I’m mostly intact. Cancer? Nope Broken limbs? None Stroke? Nope Type II diabetes? Nope (or not yet) Any kind of genetic disorder that shortens one’s lifespan? Nope Asthma? Slight Compared to my relatives and … Continue reading
Welcome Aliyah
Aliyah was born last week and is the daughter of my ex-roommate and co-worker Garrett. In this picture she looks pretty exhausted but then again, being born is not a small feat. I hope to meet her in the near … Continue reading
Version 8.0 starts today
Based upon the supposition we change out all of our cells every seven years, today I should be on my eighth round. We took it pretty easy by accident, I overslept. Then we took in the BrickFest (Lego convention) downtown. … Continue reading
Welcome Ansel!
Ansel was born this week (another 12/7 baby!) and he’s the son of a co-worker named Heather who is also pretty cool. This young man is going to have a great childhood because his parents are just as crazy about … Continue reading
Happy fifth birthday Alex!
Today is your day! Enjoy it and remember you’re king for a day but don’t let it go to your head little guy. Alex is the son of my Dallas-based friend Ami and the late Ben Rasberry. He’s a cool … Continue reading
Belated birthday to Steve (aka Stvee)!
I was pre-occupied with other crises on Friday but I think the card we sent arrived on time. This really hit the spot of what Stvee likes. 2016 is special too. We met 25 years ago at GenCon (when it … Continue reading

Happy belated birthday to me
Yeah yeah yeah, I have been rather absent from my own site but I was rather sick and uninspired through my illness…and in general. However, I got some stronger and better treatment in which I feel much, much stronger through. … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Christina!
Here’s to my friend who mastered speaking two additional languages in an English-speaking desert! Aka Central IL. She also taught me the Jedi Mind trick for job interviews, ask me someday. I managed to find a lion-themed card for against … Continue reading
Change of birthday plans, like a cancellation
It’s good news and bad news. I’ll start with the bad…Dana Gould cancelled for being the opener to my private screening of Planet of the Apes. The good news…his TV show was picked up by IFC and should air by … Continue reading
