Daddy’s Visitor

When I got home from work Friday evening, I told a story of something that had happened to me (and a visitor) on the way home from work. Alex insisted that I had to write it down, with pictures, and make a book right away… so that we could remember the story. So I did. I guess what resulted is my first children’s book. Although…

Anyway, here it is:

Uh, OK, I know, cheery ending. Oops.

Curmudgeon’s Corner: MST3King the Second Republican Debate

On this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner podcast, Sam and Ivan do it again, laying down a commentary track for the second Republican debate. Yes, the whole thing. All three hours of it. We kibitz as Trump and Carson and Bush and Cruz and Rubio and all the rest argue about the issues of the day. Oh, and of course, Fiorina. Ivan’s nemesis Fiorina. Ivan always has nice things to say about her. You’ve probably seen the debate, now listen to our take!

16070.657 Days

As of the moment this posts at 12:43 UTC on the 16th (5:43 AM Pacific, 8:43 AM Eastern) I will be officially exactly 44 years old, including the complications of leap years and time zones and everything.

The years go by quickly these days I guess. Anyway, yay?
