I haven’t posted to here in forever, but this seemed like the best place to paste in one of the worst, most annoying tech support chats I’ve ever had. It wasn’t that the tech was stupid–I’ve no idea if he was or wasn’t. It was that he was ignorant and refused to listen. And it…
I just randomly came across a note on my phone where I had saved this. I’m not sure what year this is from, though… Ellen: do you think, when I grow up, I could be a director? Me: you can be anything you want. Ellen: when I grow up, then, can I be a dragon?…
It appears, after careful searching (read: not that careful), that I never blogged our pumpkin effort from last year. Odds are it was because we were stuck in Minneapolis due to Superstorm Sandy, but it could be just because I’m lazy (quiet, you.) So, after a really nice effort this year, I’ve decided on a…
I owe a blog entry on our wedding, of course, but for now let me post the sweet tea recipe that I served at the wedding, as i’ve had several people ask. First, I use Harney and Sons 2 QT black tea bags. Best tea I’ve had, and a pretty good deal considering they make…
It’s 1AM on the morning of my wedding day, and I’m still awake. As much as we can prepare has been done in advance. Tonight was a “rehearsal dinner”, which meant that our wonderful friends and family ate a literal ton of smoked BBQ here at River’s Landing. Ribs and Cornish Hens tonight, along with…
God, it’s been ages since I updated this. I keep looking at my blog and thinking, “boy, it was so nice having all that good stuff” and then still not updating it. However, there’s enough going on that I really do need to write something… I’m getting married next weekend, 9/21/13. Linda and I are…
As always, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything, but this seemed to be a worthwhile topic to spend some time on. Linda and I moved last June with the kids into a lovely house here in West Orange. Linda’s ex, Mike, also moved up here and took a nice, charming home about a mile…
My buddy Kevin and I have decided to embark on a low-brow culinary voyage to taste some of the best burgers NYC has to offer. Although this is hardly a novel idea, it is no less fun (or tasty!). Last night, we started our trip at what might have been the top of the heap:…
About 3 months ago, I moved into a cool new place with Linda and her kids. Kim and I are officially divorced. It happened. I moved away from my kids, but, happily, only 3 blocks. But as life goes on, things return to “normal.” Tonight I spend most of the evening with Chris on one…
Every so often, I get an IM from a robot looking to spam me. Instead of just sending spam, though, they try to flirt and eventually get me to go to their site or whatever they have as an end game. These robots have a set of pre-programmed responses, and they’re generic enough that the…
