Out of control

mazda.jpgWe got the first new car of our lives in 2005. It’s a Mazda minivan and works great for us. But there is one thing that is odd; if it gets wet, it dries with white spots wherever the water was, including the windows! The first time it happened I took it back to the dealer to say … Continue reading ‘Out of control’

Tea For One

I may have found the most bitter and sour tea formula on the planet. Kyle’s expression says it all….

But I love this stuff. Here the ‘formula’: Continue reading ‘Tea For One’

There’s Always a Price

tequila

Today, in the bathtub, (where some of my greatest brainstorms and ideas have occurred) somehow I thought about second-hand smoking. You know, you have to watch where you smoke because somebody could get an increased chance of lung cancer from your exhalations. Then I thought, well, if you can get lung cancer from somebody else’s smoke, what about those plastered people who walk by you reeking of 5 different kinds of liqueur? You know, smelling pungent enough to where you can get drunk by just one whiff of the chap. Well, can you get liver disease from that?

Makes you think!

Kyle’s checkin out the surf… or the girls?

Hmm… what have we here? Not much I guess. Well, maybe the surf will be better tomorrow.

Don’t Judge a Gender By a Name

While cruising the web for tips on making orange juice, my little “you’ve got mail” notification thingy popped. I was a little surprised to find this email.

You know, call me crazy, but I don’t think I want to see pics of a girl named Jeffery.

Bad Management at the Cereal Factory

I was divvying out some Trader Joe’s® Maple Pecan Cereal (that’s pecan) into three bowls, for Papa, Luke and myself. While equalizing the contents of the bowls I spotted, among the pecans and maple oat clusters… a walnut!

Boy, talk about quality control issues! *tsk* *tsk*

Luke turns 21

Luke... er, *savoring* the flavor of a nice big swig of Harp ale.

Yesterday was my 21st birthday. In honor of the American tradition of (to quote a friend) “getting hella drunk” when turning 21, we went to a place called 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall. The problem, however, is this: I don’t like the taste of alcohol.

I always feel like I’m drinking paint thinner (er, not that I would know what that tastes like…) and, while I’ve heard it tastes better the more inebriated you get, I’ve never been motivated enough to get to that point. So, sober I’ve stayed, despite my dad’s best efforts to … Continue reading ‘Luke turns 21′

Is it a pelican or a pterodactyl?

Pelicans are fascinating to watch fly by. They look so much like pterodactyls to me!
