” The extra mile is a vast, unpopulated wasteland… Most people who go there think, “Wait… no one else is here… why am I doing this?” and leave… Make the extra phone call. Send the extra email. Do the extra research… Don’t wait to be asked; offer. Every time you do something, think of one […]

Dapper Snappers Review and $25 GC Giveaway
Introducing Dapper Snappers! The best belt for little kids I have seen so far! I was excited to get a boys Dapper Snapper for Var, as part of their No Mooning 2012 campaign, because let me tell you… As much as he’s getting taller, Var isn’t getting much wider. Which means most things his size […]
Motivational Monday
You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind. Author Unknown I need to stop blaming myself for Squee’s tragic accident… Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think. La Bruyere It’s a tragedy if you think too much too, feeling and thinking too much […]

Update on the baby mouse

The weather hasn’t exactly been favorable to running around and playing outside for the most part. Which means that we’ve spent some time cooped up in the house, […]
Of online games and Bingo
From time to time I find myself sucked into a game here and there. Sometimes for months, sometimes for weeks, but I find that eventually one consumes me a little too much for my own good. From Facebook’s Cafe World, Vampire Wars, and now the House M.D game, I’m afraid to admit how many hours […]
Happy Birthday to my son.
Today, a little boy turns 7. Not just any little boy. But MY little boy. Yes, beyond a shadow of a doubt, Var… my little Ishi Kweh (a nickname that goes back to when he was a baby.) Is 7 years old. He actually was 7 as of, super early this morning. The time escapes me. […]
