So this weekend we (that is to say, I) started on our kids tree house. I ordered the lumber and it was delivered last Tuesday and we were all set to go. Then on Thursday while were out to dinner, my wife goes over how I’m building it again. Her thing was that she couldn’t [...]

Go Climb A Tree
You know, sometimes I forget some of the more awesome things about being a parent. A lot of times, parents get so bogged down with the meal preparation, clothes buying, teeth brushing, tucking in, story reading, bath time, dinner times, school time, that they forget one very important fact. Having kids is, without a doubt, [...]
New Years Resolutions
So what did you do for a New Years Resolution…? … I thought as much. I didn’t think of anything either. It seems that, the older I get, the more pessimistic I get about making them. The last few I have made seemed to fail within a month, so I guess I just stopped making [...]
Technically Family
You know, I always find it weird when a family member contacts me via MySpace, Facebook or Twitter asking to friend them. I mean, I seemed to be the technically inclined one in the family; messing with computers, taking apart toasters, etc., so its a surprise to see, say, my 10 year younger cousin on [...]
Popcap Games = Awesome
Here is a happy story about the customer service folks. They get a lot of bad press, but these folks are really quite amazing. I know that a lot of people like Popcap games. They are fun. Ridiculously fun. One of their more fun games is called Peggle. My whole family played it and they [...]
Stating Your Position
So its no secret that I am voting for Obama (see my previous post, Vote). This, I think, is a fine thing to do. Not fine as in grand, but fine as in generally acceptable. However, some of my close friends have stated that this may have been a, not necessarily bad, but at the [...]
Weekend in hindsight
So this weekend it was fairly kickback, for the most part. Saturday was very good as there was an event that day. And since it was sunny we had an archery competition which, I’m stoked to say, I was victorious in. I had thought I lost so it was a pleasent surprise at court. I [...]
Happy Birthday Peggy!
So today is my friend Peggy’s 29th birthday. She was a little bummed because none of her friends were getting back to her about festivities for the evening. So it’s Paul to the rescue! Also, you can drop a comment on her myspace page if you feel so inclined. Were going to meet up with [...]
Washing The Cat
You know, I really don’t mind taking care of my responsibilities. Family stuff, take out the trash, do the dishes, polish the weapons, all that is fine. However there is one task that I really, really despise. Giving the cat a bath. For those of you without the scars from claws, this is not as [...]
Archery Defender, I Am
For those of you who don’t know, I am in a medieval renactment group called the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). In it, we do all kinds of things that some people think are weird. But we also fight. And not like play fighting, like with broom sticks (although that is allowed). We fight with [...]
