All Children’s Hospital is in a nice part of St Petersburg (FL). Tree lined brick roads and the understated architecture of the early 20th century create a sedate setting. There’s just one problem though; when you’ve gotten up at three in the morning to take your son to the hospital minor surgery, the last thing you need is to use words like “sedate.”
On the bright side, the tubes in the…
Christmas as an adult is not as fun as Christmas as a child. Just the fact that you’re not up at 4:30 a.m. with giddy enthusiasm on Christmas morning is evidence enough. Then again, maybe you are (in which case… as the British might say, “Bloody good for you”).
None of this means that Christmas can’t be good, or even down right fun for adults. Even balanced against hauling your kid out…
… a dead one, as it turns out. Perhaps this was a little heavenly payback for mocking a well-meaning gift giver.
Let me explain…
It all started in Adam’s bedroom. It smelled bad, but that’s not completely unexpected considering Adam is only one year old. All manner of smelly stuff “happens” in there, so the smell was kind of ignored for a couple of days. Well not exactly ignored… the…
Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose, and sometimes you do both at the same time. Take yesterday afternoon… the Patriots absolutely destroyed the Bucs. As a fan of both formerly hapless franchises, this was a terrible game to watch… and a great game to watch.
More and more, I find that this sort of thing is the rule in my life. Have a healthy child… and worry about him conking himself…
A week or so ago my wife dropped a Best Buy bag in my lap. “Here,” she says, “this is for you.”
I peeked in the bag and what did I see? A new Palm handheld just for me.
Since my PDA is basically my life (while I’m at work), and since I’ve been carrying around two half dead PDAs for the last four months (each was broken in a manner that complemented the other), a new one was just what I…
One of the hallmarks of the low self-esteem personality is a tendency to poke fun at others. Having said that, I’d like to share an amusing tale about my wife.
Lost isn’t just something I do out in public, it’s also a television series on ABC. My sister is hooked. Several of my co-workers are hooked. Me? I need another television show to watch like I need higher interest rates. So of course…
One of the cool things about fingernails… they grow. Evidence of this phenomenon can be had by cutting a notch in the nail with an ordinary pair of household scissors. You can kill two birds with one stone by using the scissors to trim unsightly cuticles. Simply open the scissors and use the leading edge of the scissor blade as a makeshift knife. In most cases the blade is not sharp enough to…
