a lot of you are hurting.

Today the Internet is supposed to blackout to protest! boycott! STICK IT TO THE MAN! in regards to SOPA. But I can’t blackout today, too many of you are hurting (and truth be told if I blacked out the chances of you ever seeing me again would be super slim, technological I am not.) Divorce,Continue reading “a lot of you are hurting.”

Emily, Last night I was with you as you brought your fourth child and second son into this world. Truly one of the best nights of my life. I know you were pretty busy with getting him out so you may have not noticed everything that went on, but I did. And damn, you’re reallyContinue reading “paul.”

DUDE YOU GUYS I CAN TASTE SUNSHINE. This cat, he hides in the curtains all “YOU CAN’T SEE ME” style and then runs out and attacks your ankles as you walk by. Ninja style suckas!

to the new one, the lurker, the regular and the old timer

I’ve noticed many people quitting lately. I’ve come across boxes of business cards from conferences that happened years ago and realized many of these people aren’t around anymore. Well, I’m sure the people are around, but their online persona has disappeared. Dozens of more people show up everyday and it makes me even more desperateContinue reading “to the new one, the lurker, the regular and the old timer”

tiny giants doing gymnastics.

I have convinced myself that Addie’s inability to color outside the lines will somehow serve her well later in life. On Saturday I colored Strawberry Shortcake blue with orange hair and I could see her tiny frame vibrating with forced acceptance of my creativity. Vivi on the other hand sees a pile of neatly stackedContinue reading “tiny giants doing gymnastics.”
