Goodbye weekend

How do you like that? I posted something I thought someone would comment on, and all I hear is crickets chirping. Oh well. Maybe you read my thoughts and said to yourself, "Ya know, he's right."

Or perhaps you didn't want to tangle with my intellect.

Or perhaps you think I'm a dumb ass and don't want to hurt my feelings by telling me so.

Or maybe nobody reads this and I'm talking to myself, just like I do at home?

Could be.

Once again, my site has undergone a face lift. I was having trouble with the scroll bar with the book design (which I really liked) and it was driving me crazy. This design doesn't look as nice, but at least it works right. I will take functionality over good looks any day. (Funny, that's what the wife said to me this morning).

Anyhoo...

Scott T. came out today and hooked up our garbage disposal, so our kitchen renovation is complete. I've never had a garbage disposal before. When I was growing up, our disposal was spelled "d-o-g." I think Beth is delighted with everything, and if Mom is happy, everyone is happy (right guys?).

Not much else is happening; the weekend is over and it is back to work tomorrow night. It has been raining all day so I am glad we got some outdoor projects done yesterday when it was so nice outside (contrary to popular belief, I do more than just write in my blog!). Today was a good day to stay inside and watch football, which happens to be exactly what I did.

I am sure I will update things later this week. I turn 39 on Wednesday. I will soon no longer be thirty-something. That makes me sick.

It's back to work tomorrow.  I am getting the itch to make myself useful again.  I can only be off work for so long and I need to do something.  I could not stay at home all day every day.  It's not for me. So today, since I had the day completely to myself, the task at hand was to do laundry.  And do laundry I did.  As I write this, every article of clothing in the house is clean, folded (mostly) and put away (kind of). My job here is done. While completing the menial task of washing clothes, I had the television on as a distraction.  As usual, since it's not football season, I dialed up Turner Classic Movies. The Singing Nun , starring Debbie Reynolds and Ricardo Montalban, was on, so I casually watched it while waiting for clothes to dry.  Aside from being a nauseating mellow drama, I knew enough about my 1960s music history to know it was based on a true story.  Yes, there really was a singing nun. In fact, we used to have a record of the Singing Nun's bi

The Bad Guys

Parenting is a tough job.  But I am determined to teach the Tax Deductions good from bad, as evidenced by this video demonstration of the Boy.  He learns quickly.  In fact, he goes so fast, you might have to watch it twice. Still, he's a keeper.

I'm not stupid, but I can be a slow learner some times. Other times, I'm a little intimidated to try something new because I'm afraid I'll screw it up - hey, I've got a history. So after we got our new Mac I was really disappointed that it didn't recognize our digital camera.  In the Microsoft world, much of the technology is "plug and play."  Just plug the USB port into your PC and the new gizmo is up and running.  I have found that isn't necessarily the case with a Mac.  (it could also be very possible I'm doing something wrong - hey, I've got a history). I knew when I purchased a Mac that they weren't compatible with some things - it is Bill Gates' world and we just live in it.  Apple is Microsoft's competitor and Microsoft is the giant of the world.  But the payoff to owning a Mac is that you get a fine-oiled machine that just works .  And that's very much proven true so far. But one rainy evening I decided to ge
