Yesterday I was "testing" our ten month-old baby Kenny. I started out by asking him, "How big are you?" (He showed us.) Then I sang "Pat-a-cake," and he clapped along. Then I said, "What does the cow say?" Kenny said, "Mmmmmmm." Then I said, "What does the sheep say?" <FONT fa
Just the other day I wrote a weblog entry about removing bushes from in front of my house . Yesterday, that story got a bit more interesting. While I was at work, my wife decided to start digging around the area where the bushes used to be. Once the bushes had been removed, we were able to see abo
I can't necessarily see a connection to the Democratic National Committee. This document guy may have had some Democrat leanings, and he may have known some committee members; but it is kind of a stretch to say that the DNC was involved in manufacturing documents. When I asked above: "according to whom?" I was referring to how one would have heard that this general was associated with the
linked to the DNC According to whom?
Among the bigger news stories recently was that of the apparently falsified documents pertaining to President Bush's National Guard service. This general who decided to create these documents made the mistake of not using an actual typewriter to create (re-create?) them. I wonder: if one is going to perpetrate a hoax, wouldn't he try harder than that? I mean, that's a
The Twins are in Chicago tonight to play the White Sox. I am a HUGE Twins fan, and if the game continues as-is (they're ahead 4-0 in the third) they'll clinch the division title on the field. On the other hand, the Vikings are on Monday Night Football tonight. I have my two biggest fantasy players going tonight (Culpepper and Owens), and I need the points! I guess that I will have to resort to flipping around du
This evening my wife, my son, and I were outside picking tomatoes. We have a whole bunch of them. Baby Kenny really likes to eat tomatoes. While we were picking them, Kenny grabbed a tomato for himself and started eating it. The good news for Kenny is that he can pick a tomato for himself. The bad news is that he doesn't know how to choose a ripe one. Once we saw him eating his tomato, we switched it for a ripe one. I grabbed my camera out my po
Today at the grocery store I picked up a copy of the Star . Every once-in-a-while I enjoy looking through those celebrity/gossip/scandal tabloids or magazines. What really struck me about the magazine that I had just read was how often one can see Paris Hilton in the magazine. Out of 96 pages, Paris' photo is on 8 of them. (I didn't count how many times she was mentioned, but I
I enjoy watching lesbian hookers, but the lesbians we see at the gay rights demonstrations are hideous and vile. Pete! You're on a roll today!
Fantastic article. I am often puzzled at how much energy people put towards "punishing" gays for their lifestyle choices. Regardless of how one feels about the gay lifestyle, there have to be countless causes which are more worthwhile and constructive. Recently I have been thinking about gay marriage/civil union/ whatever. (Not for myself.) Having a legal relatio
I needed a new water heater for my house. I decided to buy an on-demand electric water heater from Menards. After checking (with the clerk, the brochure, and with the website) whether the appliance was compatible with my house's electricity, I went ahead and ordered it. (Of course it wasn't in-stock.) Once we got the box open, we learned that our elec
Did anyone understand that last post? Regardless, the question still stands.
So let's say Bush gets re-elected. What do you think that the chance is of the draft being re-instated by 2008? (A "draft" is compulsory service. Young men have to join the army to fight for something that their president/government wants to do. Men between the ages of 18-24 have no choice.)
The day before yesterday we took our baby to TARGET (department store) shopping. Here he is posing there: He LOVES to push the cart. First he tried on his knees, then he stood up and "wen
Hello there. This evening I was taking a few pictures of baby Kenny. His mom put some really cute pajamas on him, so I decided to get out the camera. Here are what the pajamas look like: Kenny
Tonight for dinner, my wife is making us a yummy home-made pizza. She does a good job with those. We went out to the garden to get some tomatoes to put on the pizza. <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff
Today has been a busy Sunday. I intended to watch the Vikings game from three o'clock; but before that started, I had to get some yardwork done. The first thing that I did was cut the grass. It had been two weeks since I had last done it, and it was beginning to get a little long. I like to cut the grass on Sundays because I enjoy listening to the sports radio programs on WCCO radio (especi
At 2:30 AM Minnesota time, the Fall Grand Sumo Tournament will begin. I will be keeping up with the twists and turns of the sumo tournament over the next 15 days (the length of the tournament.) This time, there will be a few interesting things to watch for: 1) Will Yokozuna Asashoryu continue his streak of consecutive tournament victories? (If
This morning as I was reading the newspaper, I saw that there is a class-action lawsuit being processed in California against U-Haul. This all stems from U-Haul's practice of accepting "reservations" for moving vans (over the phone and internet) regardless of whether or not there actually is a truck available at a given location. As a matter of fact, I was burned by this mys
Last summer, FOX introduced a new show called "Quintuplets." It did well enough in the ratings to earn itself a Wednesday night timeslot. "Quintuplets" is a nice, charming show. From the pilot episode, the show introduced identifiable and interesting characters (by sit-com standards.) The characters even seem to have continued developing since the show began. <FONT face=
or your great aunt's bowel movements shit... That wrecks my next article. Now what am I going to write about?
Last Friday, our friends Rob and Nancy had a baby. It is a little girl named Isadora. She is a cute little one. The baby is long and thin. She seemed awfully alert for such a young baby. Maybe she'll be a bright little girl Congratulations Rob and Nancy! Baby cuddled with my wife: <IMG alt="" hspace=0 s
As an undergraduate, I spent some time in Saint Petersburg Russia. While there I both studied Russian and enjoyed life. The local beer in the Saint Petersburg area is "Baltika." Lighter lagers are numbered 1-3. Heavier ales are numbered 4 and above. I am a fan of lager beers, although I can appreciate the occasional ale. I
For those of you who are regular readers of my weblog: You will know that I have a nine month-old son. You will also know that I am very interested in my vegetable garden. In this weblog entry, I will put the two together. Yesterday, we let Kenny enjoy our garden-grown tomatoes. It seemed that he really liked them! He had such a happy face as he was eating them. </
Good one! Randy Johnson and Kurt Shilling. The Oakland A's had a really good combo with Dave Stewart and another right-hander in the late-1980s/early 1990s. (I am struggling right now to remember his name. -Ron Darling was a really good number three starter.) This will drive me nuts! Anyone able to put me out of my misery? *Here's another good one: Tom Glavine and John Smoltz.
