Is there any better catalyst for learning a lesson than blood?
Yesterday was one of those days. I woke up at 3:30 AM with a low blood sugar. The Boy woke up hungry 30 minutes later. By the time I got up for good, The Boy needed to be fed again, the house [...]

As of Friday, Lisa is 35 weeks along. If she goes the full 40 weeks, that means Carter can be here in just 34 days. He could arrive in just two weeks and still be considered full term. That is both exciting and terrifying.
Our last several weekends have been extremely busy, with [...]

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).

The wait staff is [...]

After getting caught up in the recent BPA-scare, we decided to ditch our Nalgene water bottles and replace them with some hip new SIGG bottles. We figured with Lisa being pregnant, we probably shouldn’t take any chances. Even though some recent reports have claimed that the BPA in plastic bottles is likely safe, [...]

This afternoon, Lisa and I went to see the new Woody Allen movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona. While I thought Match Point was quite good, I’m not the biggest Woody Allen fan. His movies aren’t spectacular, but he’s one of the few filmmakers that does something different.
We sat through nearly 20 minutes of previews [...]

Dear Insinkerator Garbage Disposal People,
Yesterday I purchased one of your Badger 5 garbage disposals and went on to spend three frustrating exhilerating hours last night installing it. I applaud the practical joke of your installation instructions. Nowhere on the box nor in the instructions did I read any warnings that installation should not [...]
