“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen…”
Tuesday – 19 February 2013 It’s been a busy past few days around here. But, they’ve also been good days on the whole, so, like the one-legged man: I can’t kick. Saturday, I had the pleasure of going to work to kick a server back into… um… service. It had decided to go belly-up around [...]
‘Clix, Opera and the AFC
Monday – 20 January 2013 Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This past weekend was a good weekend. Saturday, I judged a HeroClix tournament. I set up an event for my friend, Keith, who is in town on vacation. Keith was the judge for ‘Clix tournaments when I first started playing, so I was [...]
And then there was Friday.
Friday – 11 January 2013 Today has been a good day. Even with all the snow. The morning commute was about a half-hour long, give or take. The drive was made a little better with the addition of two fifty-pound bags of salt to the trunk. (I have a rear-wheel drive car that apparently puts [...]
“I am the law.”
Wednesday – 09 January 2013 It’s midweek… New comics (and maybe a ‘Clix or two) day… And Movie Date Night! The workday has been… busy. Not cripplingly so, but enough to keep me engaged for the better part of the day. Last night, Sara went off to Girls’ Night Out, so I stayed home with [...]
Three years and one day.
Thursday – 04 October 2012 First off, let me wish my Godsister, Tammy, a very happy birthday. Next, I have to say that Sara! and I had a great third anniversary yesterday. And, we’d like to say “Thank you,” to our well-wishers. My in-laws came over to watch the girls so that Sara and I [...]
“There and Back Again” (…or something to that effect)
Monday – 09 July 2012 And, we’re back. Thursday night, we packed up Team DiVa and drove to Idaho. This marked the girls’ third road trip in three-and-a-half months. We went for a memorial service for Sara!’s grandfather. We also unlocked a few achievements on the trip: Achievement Unlocked: #TeamDiVa‘s First National Park/Monument +10 Points Achievement [...]
Father’s Day 2012
Sunday – 17 June 2012 It’s my first Father’s Day. And, so far, it’s been quite good. I’d like to wish a “Happy Father’s Day” to the fathers out there, as well. The day started with Team DiVa waking up at 7:00. It was slightly earlier than I had wanted to get up, but that’s [...]
The Green… Nightlight?
Thursday – 14 June 2012 Not only is it another NBN Thursday in the valley, but today is also Flag Day. In Team DiVa news: The girls apparently want to skip crawling and go straight to walking: Vanessa (l) and Diana They are “cruising,” where they’ll hold onto something and attempt to use it to [...]
Friday: Stuff, Things and What-not
Friday – 08 June 2012 It’s not just Friday… Nor is it only Diana-Vanessa-Daddy Day… Today is also the day that Vanessa turns 9-months-old: The girls are taking their morning nap. After that, there will be some playtime. Then lunch. Then we’ll figure out whether we’re going somewhere before or after their afternoon nap. Most [...]
Wednesday and all’s well…
Wednesday – 06 June 2012 Midweek. New comics day. Pasta and Movie Date Night… maybe. Yesterday, the destruction of the grotto demolition of the gazebo was complete. There’s now just a slight depression (and a little debris) where the gazebo once stood. Pictures here. Now, we just need to decide what we want to do [...]
A pre-summer Monday…
Monday – 04 June 2012 A new week is here. The weekend was good – and fairly busy – weekend. We started with a pancake breakfast/car show, supporting the local Boy Scout troop. Next, SaraRules! went to quilt club while I stayed home with Team DiVa. After she got back, I headed out to judge [...]
“Long live the…” Oh, I totally misread that.
Tuesday – 22 May 2012 Today’s another sunny day in the valley. Tomorrow, however, there’s rain in the forecast, long with a nearly 15 degree drop in temperature. Yay. There will (hopefully) be a new Adventure Babies: Team DiVa video short in the next few days… if I can catch them doing one of their [...]
“Things That Make You Go ‘Hmm…’”
Wednesday – 18 April 2012 It’s midweek. Which means new comics and Pasta and Movie Date Night. (I should really figure out what we’re watching, as it’s my night to choose a movie.) Last night, Team Diva (and SaraRules! and I) had a visit from SaraRules!’ Justice League Junior League co-members, Brittany and Jana. The [...]
…and back again.
Tuesday – 17 April 2012 Day One of the work week. It started off rainy, but skies have cleared a bit. TeamDiVa’s first road trip was a success. The basic breakdowns were: Five days. Four states. Three hotel rooms. Two little ladies who traveled incredibly well, all things considered. One honest-to-goodness zebra. It would be [...]
Adventure Babies: Team DiVa’s first road trip!
Friday – 13 April 2012 Yes, it’s Friday the 13th… or what’s left of it. I hope that everyone fared well and avoided whatever evils confronted them. (Or, if you were the evil, that your will was done.) SaraRules!, Team DiVa and I spent the better part of the day on the road. We’re in [...]
