I don’t usually remember my dreams. Some people do; Carey can tell me every morning what she dreamed about the night before. That rarely happens to me. So when I have a really cool dream that I remember, it’s a big deal. Last night I had a really cool dream. I just wish I could […]
Continue readingBedroom Strife
Carey and I have an interesting problem in the bedroom. It’s not what you think. See the issue is this – Carey really, really enjoys lounging in the bedroom. She can stay all day in bed, watching television – only getting up to pee and eat. I can’t do that. The bedroom only has two […]

Carey and I are blissfully happy as we live our life, plan a marriage, and just love each other and our family. Still, every couple has their disagreements and Carey and I are no exception. In our time together we’ve never had a fight, we’ve never raised our voices to each other, and we’ve certainly […]

Carey found this and posted it on Facebook a couple of weeks ago. Ever since, I watch it at least once a day. I don’t know why, but I can’t get that tune out of my head and it makes me smile every time I watch it. I hope you enjoy! Then, I stumbled on […]

I can’t say I was impressed (Medevial Times is much better IMO) but there were a couple of highlights. This was the Holiday show at Dixie Stampede, so the whole theme was Santa Claus and the […]

A couple of months ago I was in my back yard in one of my two utility closets. As I opened the door to walk in, a very large spider dangled in front of me. A large spider with a red hourglass on her belly. For those of you who don’t know, I have a […]

Some mornings are more weird than others. This from a random IM conversation as I was trying to get my day started this morning: [08:47] Sparks: The Silver Surfer / Fantastic Four preview rocked[08:48] Code Monkey: yeah man – that is going to be cool as hell[08:49] Sparks: Wonder what Galactus will look like[08:49] Code […]

It’s a horrible tune that commercial television seared into my consciousness as a young teen back in the 1980’s. A freaking square of chocolate covered vanilla ice cream wrapped in silver foil with a polar bear on it. The commercial would come on and you’d see seemingly normal people doing outrageous things for this frozen […]
