Life and absurdities in North Texas from a work-from-home (soon to be) dad

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Ojeda’s? I’m talking heart-pounding, euphoric, trouser-tightening love. If I hadn’t snagged Lisa at an early age, I would spend every night in a hot, passionate encounter with an enchilada (and weigh 400 pounds).
I’ve been going to Ojeda’s ever since I was a collection of cells [...]

Here’s a great submission by a buddy back in Baltimore.
Feel free to use this image as a reminder of all the things you find slightly scary about Baltimore. This guy was sitting here the entire time I was caught at a light. He wasn’t in distress unless you count nodding immaculate as distress, [...]
With my wife at an out-of-town conference, I decided to nerd-out this weekend. I left at 11:00 this morning and took the three-hour drive to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s estate outside of Charlottesville, Virginia. It was a beautiful day, and I arrived just in time to get a ticket for the 3:00 tour. [...]

I know I’m a bit late to the party on this, but felt obligated to post and comment. For those of you that haven’t heard, a Baltimore cop has been suspended with pay for harassing a skinny, 14-year old kid who had the audacity to skateboard in the Inner Harbor. I’m sure the [...]
It’s hard to believe that Lisa and I have been in Baltimore for a year at this point. We pulled into town just after lunch on January 15, 2007. It was a sunny, unseasonably warm day in Baltimore, but the city was in a foul mood. The day before, the Baltimore Ravens [...]
Just a quick thought I had while driving home from work this afternoon…..are male residents of South Baltimore under the age of 30 required to go shirtless from the middle of May through late September whenever outdoors? That and sport a haircut that would be looked upon with favor by most skinhead/neo-nazi organizations?
I’m just [...]
So I guess it’s time to update this blog…I heard a rumor that Blogimore was up for a MOODB (Most Out Of Date Blog award). There’s lots of reasons for my inactivity: family in town, busy at work, refereeing a battle between a pirate and a ninja, and downright laziness.
The good [...]
Our otherwise lazy and boring Sunday was interrupted by a tanker fire on the Hanover Street on-ramp to I-95. I was laying on the couch reading a book when I heard the police chopper fly over and announce something over the loudspeaker. Hearing the chopper or sirens is no big deal in our [...]
I was late for work this morning. I almost got my ass kicked by a bunch of street thugs this morning. The two incidents are related.
As I was driving to work, I inevitably got stopped at the light in front of the Cross Street Market. While I was stopped, I noticed an [...]
