The other day, as I was becoming slightly frustrated trying to find a towel in the bathroom that had not been used by one of the other shower-ers in the house, I found myself flashing forward in my mind. It was a quick trip to the not-too-distant future. A future when my bathroom will be…
Viewer Discretion Advised
We like to watch football on Sundays. A lot. We usually have football on from about 12 noon till 11pm or later. We don’t sit in front of the TV that whole time, but it’s just on. That said, we are super thankful for Tivo. Any time a commercial comes on we hit “pause” because…
Absence Explained
Y’all may have noticed that it’s been verrrrry quiet around here lately. I’ve explained it before, but before I post a couple different things here today, I thought I’d try to explain again… I’M BUSY!!! 🙂 I’ve been working even more hours at Apple now as a “Creative” (and totally loving it!) and still have…
Feeling Old
Yesterday as I was walking through the mall on my lunch break at Apple, I was reminded again that I really am old. 🙂 Yes, I realize I am exaggerating a bit. Turning 34 soon does not in most circles qualify as old, but it seems that at the mall… it does! First of all,…
Power
I am just a little bit afraid right now. As I type this, I am sitting on my porch in the middle of either the remnants of, or the after effects of hurricane Ike. Mind you, I live in western New York state. Hurricanes don’t usually affect us much more than a long, steady soaking….
Foreigners
I’ve been thinking about “home” a little bit recently. We were visiting family this weekend who live about an hour and a half from our home. I was thinking about how if we lived there, it wouldn’t ever quite feel like home. At least, to me. It would feel like we were always visiting. Never…
Apple Event, Tuesday Sept 9th, 2008
Given that I am now employed by Apple, I will refrain from speculating on any of the product or service announcements that will be made, but this invitation went out from Apple this week, regarding an event scheduled for next Tuesday morning (local time) in San Francisco. Looking forward to seeing what they announce! (Believe…
Are You Ready For Some Football??
NFL football is back! The regular season starts this week with a game featuring the World Champ NY Giants and the Washington Redskins on NBC Thursday night, a full slate of games on Sunday (including the BILLS GAME!), and then a double-header on ESPN on Monday Night. I can’t wait!! The Bills are looking really…
Not How I Planned It
Well, I just got back – AGAIN – from Buffalo. We spent the extra long weekend there visiting with Jen’s family, and came home pretty late tonight (got the kids in bed around 11pm) to find that I had forgotten my laptop there. An hour and a half away there. And, not only do I…
Half Mom, Half Dad
We were looking at old slides last night at my wife’s family reunion. We get together every Labor Day weekend, and this time, at Jen’s request, Dad broke out the old slide projector and we spent an hour or so looking at old photos. Almost every photo brought laughs along with a funny story or…
