Sometimes something comes along that is just too much fun to pass up. As is usually the case, Kelly Lynne and her partner The Bird sent me this tidbit of fun-ness. A site made specifically for “All Homos and Other Funny People”, that is a quote from the real site and not some sort [...]

I have been feeling sorry for myself this week: poor me with my grueling job, three kids, a car with frozen brakes and me on a diet free of wine to boot. By tonight, Friday, I had convinced myself that my life was just about as bleak on one can get, unless of course you [...]

Aside from Jack Johnson, Michael Franti is by far one of my most favorite of musicians. I love his voice, his anger and his message. I understand that I am as white as white can be, but I still appreicate what he has to offer. When I found this song a short while ago I [...]

It’s been a shit week here at The Manor. Monday started with a yucky, but necessary, legal appointment to deal with matters long left unsettled. I love my lawyer dearly, he is Loren’s godfather and a long time family friend, but I don’t like dealing with legal stuff or sitting in the office that used [...]

Tonight I checked out Loren’s grades through the online school parent portal. I wasn’t sure what to expect but was hoping to not be completely broken hearted and pissed at my first born. Surprisingly enough it was not at all the catastrophe I thought it might be. I am not sure how Loren did it [...]

The pull of the annual Taco Hat is just too hard to ignore. Today we succumbed and, sure enough, arrived home exhausted and laden with shwaggy promotional crap. Damn Taco Bell. Damn all those plastic bits and pieces that will now litter the house. But damn if we didn’t have fun! More pictures to follow [...]

Loren is tagging along with these guys this weekend. He gets to hold the cables for the video guys and slap high fives with some of the skiers while also seeing them air up 20 feet out of a half pipe. The texts I am getting while he does this are pretty amazing. It is [...]

One of the efforts we work on in Devon’s weekly OT visits is food familiarity. This might seem a bit odd to those of us who are far too intimate with food to begin, but for a little guy like mine who would rather go hungry than deal with the nasty business of actually touching [...]
