Well, Star Wars officially turns 30 today (so will I, in a little over a year). There’s a great article about it over at Show Me SciFi, in case you want to check it out.
Being a nerd at heart, Star Wars has shaped my life significantly… probably much more than is healthy. Even the theme [...]

I was perusing Guy’s blog over at The Short Fat Kid and ran across one of his posts that dealt with some of the ridiculous stuff he learned in school. One of the things he mentioned which had not been ridiculous was pencil fighting.
I think I laughed out loud when I read his comments about [...]

My sister-in-law, Leslie, got married this past weekend. It was a beautiful wedding and went off without a hitch (save the one between the bride and groom), and every one had a great time.
Both of my daughters were flowergirls in the wedding, though with Hailey, it was pretty much in name only. She [...]

Ok, so we watched the season finale of Gilmore Girls last night, and it really turned out a lot better than I had expected. A lot of people still aren’t happy with it, but considering the thing was filmed before they had even decided to officially can the show, it wasn’t that bad. It tied [...]

Tonight, Lauren and I will be saying farewell to some people we’ve grown accustomed to spending Tuesdays with. Gilmore Girls is airing its series finale tonight, and it’s going to be hard for us to let Lorelai, Rory, Luke, Kirk, and the others fade-out for the last time.
To tell you the truth, we’re kind of [...]

I’m not very mechanically inclined, and I’ve made my peace with that. However, I’m also rather averse to spending money on anything I don’t consider “fun.” This would include putting brakes on my car.
But since brakes are necessary if you’d like to remain in the land of the living, I decided to replace [...]

In my second post on this blog, I talked about possibly going back for a second degree. Usually, when I talk about doing something like that, the lazy side takes over, and I simply let it fade away. For instance, about a year ago, I had just reread Glory Road and decided that I needed [...]

Some people just love to stay busy, though I may never understand the appeal.
My grandfather always seems mired in the middle of 3 or 4 projects. Last time we went to their house for a get-together, telephone posts and steel trusses that he had salvaged from some place had been assembled into the framework for [...]

Last night, we were having trouble getting our oldest daughter, Madelyn, to eat her supper. She’s 3 and a half, and she’s usually much more interested in talking or singing than in eating – unless it’s candy. Anyway, when Lauren was fixing supper last night, Madelyn informed us that she wanted spaghetti for [...]

Today I ended up having to run a route, and my last delivery was at Schwan’s.
I barely escaped with my life.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, check this out.
