My six-year-old house recently developed wood rot on its dining room windows. Rather annoying since the warranty expired long ago and I’ve never discovered all the cosmetic flaws I keep finding in time: crooked outlets, paint just slapped on the … Continue reading →

This rather funny accident went down on Monday afternoon, Adam got pictures of it but I wasn’t able to post them until today because of all the other jazz going on. I didn’t have any luck finding details of it … Continue reading →

You may be more familiar with the Shin-Chan reference if you’ve been watching Adult Swim lately or you’re an anime fan. Anyway, when Helen told me about her sons’ antics with Photo Booth, the iMac’s built-in iSight camera and her bed, … Continue reading →

On my way out of the house I caught one of the resident chameleons. I tend to find them scurrying in or out of the garage but it stayed still long enough for me to take its picture. It’s probably … Continue reading →

Thanks to my conking out pretty early the night before, this would be a take-it-easier day since energy for the final evening took priority. We were also going to have the opportunity to meet my co-worker Tony’s family and have … Continue reading →

Here’s all the additional pictures from my second trip to the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton. Geeky and silly (maybe pathetic) but the aliens are always the best part and they keep me coming back despite the … Continue reading →

The wife and I caught a glimpse of this van last night on our way to dinner. Neither of us had a camera and we were too tired to see if it was still parked there when we returned. Fortunately, … Continue reading →

I agonized posting this picture for a day or so because Picayune is really meant to be an open letter to my friends but then I recalled that I never promised it would be a kid friendly. This bumper sticker was too … Continue reading →

I couldn’t help that joke from Superman II. Here’s some progress on the front yard we’ve made. That’ll keep the HOA junta off our backs a bit. The sod in orange would be the two pieces we bought last week that … Continue reading →

When I returned from my trip to the dentist, Siri was still in the middle of her mid-afternoon nap on the living-room floor. Madison thought it would be funny to put Wicca’s stuffed bear on her like a blanket. It … Continue reading →

Friday morning I received a call from my good friend (also known as the first friend I made in Austin) Sonia. She and her husband (Philippe) were in from Basel, Switzerland for Christmas and New Year’s. Sonia and Philippe always … Continue reading →

Attention to all my friends with small children! I went by Santa’s post-Christmas Winter Home in Austin since I’m his primary housesitter and cat care taker (yes, he has more than reindeer). Here’s my photographic proof to give the kids … Continue reading →
