The flights were both flawless: on time, smooth, and uneventful. While waiting in DFW we stoped at an Irish pub I hit sometimes where I travel to Dallas on business. Corrie Ann and Devin seemed to enjoy the food.
“Dad, my favorite bacon cheeseburgers are from Irish pubs,” Devin was heard to say. The Guinness was [...]
Sitting at the airport in Greensboro mooching off some free wireless connection here. We have about another half hour before our plane boards for the first leg of our flight: from here to DFW. There we’ll have another hour an a half wait before we take the second and last leg to San Diego.

Corrie Ann and I have been, for well over a year now, wrestling with a desire to once again have an SLR camera. Having both grown up using Pentax K-1000s and reveling in doing our own B&W prints, we always felt a great void in the features that were available to us in the point-and-shoot [...]
So, it’s getting better and at a quicker rate, it seems, than I was lead to believe by my Interweb diagnosis. It still creeps me the hell out, and I have had this constant, phantom ache in that eye ever since I discovered the existence of the blood spot of doom, but I think I’m [...]
So, last night Devin and I swung by Wendy’s to pick up some quick dinner. As we’re waiting for our two Mandarin Chicken salads and one Kids Cheeseburger meal to arrive he says, “Hey, dad. What’s that red thing in your eye.” I didn’t really think much of it until we got into the car [...]
The last three of my six main toons are now all at level 40 and are all decked out with mounts. Having no Exalted status with any other factions, I went with racial mounts all around. I also, for whatever reason, have hit forty, with all six toons, in Dustwallow Marsh. Maybe it’s because there [...]
Yesterday, working from home, I didn’t venture much into the outdoors. Mostly, I left to take The Boy to school, and then pick up my niece from daycare. Both times, though, I heard a helicopter. I couldn’t see it anywhere over the woods behind my house, but I distinctly heard a hovering helicopter. My first [...]
It seems The Fates have decided that today is the day I think about feminism. It started with reading this post of Spider’s, which for me read as a laundry list of things I do every day … part and parcel of life in a two income household and spending a good 35% of my [...]
My brother and I set out today to knock out a couple of quests we both needed some help with. After spending the morning killing centaur in Desolace and ogres in Stromgarde, we set out after Fozruk. As you can see below, he and his kobold entourage fell to the might of the Horde:
After Fozruk, [...]
So, last night I was running around Duskwallow Marsh, like you do, trying to level my Paladin. I was over where the murlocs are, in the northeast, and I was picking off one and two of them at a time and feeling pretty good about myself. I’d just sat down to take a break, and [...]
