I Published A Book, Kinda

I’m officially a published author. Kinda. I did write a book and it was published and sold. Of course, it was sold to me. Still…
Now that Christmas is over, I can finally tell you about my secret gift I made my wife for Christmas. I wrote her a book on software [...]

Adventures With Fountain Pens

One of the gifts I received from my parents this Christmas was a fountain pen. Specifically the LAMY AL-Star. You can see it in the picture above. It is a lovely pen. Really it is. It almost ruined my carpet, however. Also, I’m a bonehead.
The problem was that the [...]

Depressed

As my daughter told us as we were taking down the decorations last night, Christmas is over. I can’t help but feel a little depressed. After all the Christmas specials, all the Christmas songs my daughter has sung, and all the presents she has opened, it’s hard not to miss it all.
So, I [...]

Am I Fit, Yet?

We spent the majority of Friday playing Wii Fit at my parent’s house. We had a great time, but I know I’m gonna be sore tomorrow. I think I ran five miles today. The worst part (not really) is my pregnant wife beat us all in running. Our excuse is that [...]

Thanks Everyone

Thanks everybody for the Christmas wishes. It was fun, but busy. We’re winding down now at my parent’s house. I have many tales of presents and near car crashes. I’ll tell you all when I get a moment.
Merry Christmas!

Twas the Night Before Christmas

We’re traveling today, so we did our Christmas presents to each other this morning. The top secret gift for my wife went well. I’ll share more about it later. Let’s just say I’m now a published author (self-published, but still).
In the meantime, here is a Christmas special I liked when I was [...]

Free Range Chickens

As you may know, I’m one of those people who have one of those e-book reader thingies. I have the Sony Reader (thanks Mom and Dad). Yeah, I still like having a real book. Still, you do get used to reading on an electronic device. Honestly.
Anyway, I was skimming the Sony ebook store [...]

Trained

I had a pretty solid weekend this past weekend. I am thankful for that. I needed that. Now onto the stories.
Saturday morning we needed to send a gift to our friends. Unfortunately, the Post Office closed at noon. At 11:40 or so my wife finished up wrapping and packaging the [...]
