Home Alone - Day Six

I’m sorry again kids. It’s going on 11pm and I’m just getting home. It wasn’t a bad day, just long… but way too long for a video. My hearings went well, if a little long. There’s some bleed over to tomorrow to finish things up, but that’s ok. Mom will be glad to know the bank got the appraisal back from the appraiser. It was more than we thought, so one…

Home Alone - Day Five

I’m really sorry kids, but no video tonight. I have it “in the can,” so to speak, but I found some things I have to take out – mostly work stuff I’m not really allowed to post in a public forum. It’s after bedtime, I just got back from dinner with Uncle Eric, Aunt Lisa, your cousins, and grandma/grandpa… so I don’t have the time or energy to do it…

Oh Canada!

I’m ashamed to admit I’m not sure if there’s customarily a comma in there, but I specifically left it comma free in this case. Our neighbors north of the border have a birthday today. As my wife’s family might say, it’s Fête du Canada – Canada Day. And I must say Canada, you hardly look a day over 140! In the back rooms of Creationist Theory offices, it’s…

All this time

A few months ago I reached a relatively low point in my life. I wasn’t dying, starving, lonely, unemployed, or bankrupt so I use the word low lightly. I visited my psychiatrist six weeks ago. (I’m not ashamed to admit it, I have one of those.) After the last few years chatting with me, even she was a little concerned by my appearance. My sleep situation was worse than ever. I was…
