The Gathering Swarm
Not yet a month since the Battle of Dining Room and we have already seen hints that our insect enemy is planning something. Nothing definitive to present to the UN; but at least I can document my family’s concerns so that we can be remembered. I present the (some may add circumstantial) evidence but you…

My Kids Dancing
Just thought I’d put this up for mostly the fam. My daughter’s walking (1 year old). Not as early as my son (who walked on his own at 7 months–ack) but still, pretty steady. She took her first steps at 9 months, realized that this might mean seperation from Mommy and decided to hold off…

Horrendously Sick
I’m horrendously sick. My wife says I have a cold but my I have limited my symptoms down to Pneumonia, Meningitis, Tuberculosis, Avian Flu, or Green-Monkey Ebola. Feel free to read any of the sites on the side bar. I may not agree with them and in some cases I may just think they’re downright…

Dirty Rotten Apple Core
Bites. Stinks. Pure garbage. Junk. Pick a euphemism. I count the works of Apple nothing but skubalon (google: Philippians 3:8 + skubalon).

Survival of the Fittest Ex-New Yorkers
Adaptation, say evolutionists, is key to survival. A creature , out of its natural habitat has three choices: completely change an ecosystem (imagine an MCF link to a Simpsons episode here), die or become part of the system. As a city-born, native New Yorker now relocated to the downright rural, I must adapt to my…

Master Bedroom: Before and After
Here’s the master bedroom before and after (the original is a really bad shot but gets the point across. That there on the floor is plywood after ripping up the carpets). Haven’t put up pictures so the walls look a little bare.

Stairs: Before and After
So here’s the hardwood stairs project when I started it (simply removing carpets to install new ones, realizing that there was gorgeous hardwood there) and after it (stripping, sanding, staining and refinishing).

Surge Protection from Power Trips
Sometimes, our personal opinions surge and we bandy them about. Favorite colors, the perfect movie, the right book, the concept of what “pops”, the proper way to cook—on and on. Opinions are a pretty common thing until one person has the power to enforce their opinion. For example: You pay me to paint rooms. You…
