The Ski Dream It’s been too many years and beers ago to remember exactly when this happened. I remember where I was, why, and whith whom, but beyond that it’s all a giant white...

Funniest thing of the day My wife: “It’s not fair to use a wide angle lens on a pregnant woman. It’s just wrong.” Courtesy: The Link.

My tripe While I enjoy reading other blogs with this kind of content, I tend to do my best to keep it off Rapid Eye Reality. Nonetheless, I need a midnight distraction and Ceej...

The flux capacitor in the winter of our discontent Children of the 80s–at least those who weren’t living in a cave and hadn’t been forced to sew their eyes shut in a sick PTL...

Bradoween IV–ALERT While my wife’s impending baby production output threatened to cancel the annual Bradoween festival, we have together done the math, calculated the chances of an early arrival, and decided that we are...
