• Stunned

    Hillary Clinton is not my first choice in the Democratic primaries. I don’t have strong feelings about her like many do, but my preferences lie elsewhere. Still, coming back from a ten point deficit in the polls? In a couple days? That’s crazy talk. My wife still has family in New Hampshire, and if you’re out there reading right now, I’ve gotta ask: what’s the deal? Did you go into the polls with your favorite quarter, poised to give it a flip?

    My guys went in to primary season with their own fork (to test for doneness), but it’ll be interesting to see who’s left in the race when Florida gets it’s turn. Not that it’ll matter, since the national party gave us the boot this time around. Considering our recent election adventures, maybe that was a good call.

  • Thank God we don’t have carpet anymore

    If you’ve got kids, chances are you know all about different kinds of flooring and their carrying capacity for fluids. My fellow parents know all about carpeting, and it’s uncanny ability to absorb.

    As some of you know, Beth had her share of health problems as a baby, and it led to a fair amount of clean up. It was one of the big reasons we pulled out our carpet. Hey, don’t laugh. I’m serious. A few years ago we would have needed a couple days off to get the smell out of our floor, but not now my friend! All I needed was a few minutes with a mop and I was free to tackle the next challenge: the bathroom.

    I’m thinking the kids’ bathroom needs some tweaking next… something that lends itself to being hosed down.

  • My small contribution

    Today was the unveiling of my latest little child support guideline spreadsheet. It’s the day I finally get around to setting it up with the new Federal Withholding formulas for the new tax year and contact the folks on my mailing list. In a few hours my server logs will show a blip of activity. Tomorrow a handful people out there will change the way they work (no not really, but I’m on a roll), and it’s all my doing.

    Muah-ha-haaa!
