It appears that recent events at la Casa de Puddin have led us to something of an overabundance of blueberries, without concrete plans for them. The berries in question were purchased in anticipation of our recent Blueberry Pancake Brunch Adventure™, but it seems there was a bit of a miscommunication between the heads of our … Continue reading Weekend Conundrum: What To Do With A Bounty Of Blueberries?

A Movie In 100 Words Or Less: The LEGO Movie
Sometimes, when the days of Winter cling to your life like a determined sloth, refusing to mosey off and leave you with even a chilly, damp Spring deep into the latter weeks of March, well, you have to do something to cultivate family togetherness. That is, you have to do something that doesn’t include the … Continue reading A Movie In 100 Words Or Less: The LEGO Movie
One Way To Buckle Under The Pressure Of Revision
In my free time this month, the project at hand is the first pass of revisions for Project Tennyson. Which means that every night after our hearthen darling children reluctantly embark on their nightly journey off to Dreamland, I huddle over my keyboard and begin nitpicking my words. Often times, this process boils down to … Continue reading One Way To Buckle Under The Pressure Of Revision
Happy (Almost) Birthday. We’d Kill You For You Business.
Everybody likes to get birthday offers for stuff in their mail and/or email. Especially stuff that’s free. Because, let’s be honest, short of becoming one of those people from that Cheapskates show who might be willing to drag trash cans down to the pond the ducks poop in at the park to draw off a … Continue reading Happy (Almost) Birthday. We’d Kill You For You Business.
Foregoing The Usual Birthday Post (Brownie Now!)
Yesterday I was buzzing like a bee, all a-rarin’ to go, and chomping at the bit, even, consumed with magnificent intention to write The Annual Birthday post. I’m sure it would have been full of faux wisdom and charm, and reminders that one’s birthday makes them no more than 24 hours older than the day … Continue reading Foregoing The Usual Birthday Post (Brownie Now!)

Search Terms, Revisited
To the best of my recollection, it’s been something like a geological epoch since the last time I mustered up the courage to delve into search phrases in my web stats. I do this periodically because I have this tendency to use…unusual…turns of phrase in posts form time to time, which Google categorizes with what … Continue reading Search Terms, Revisited
I Have Only One Thing To Say Today
See that? Up there? That I circled? Yeah. Just look at all those marvelous degrees. Seriously, if you added them up, the highs would make TRIPLE DIGITS AND EVERYTHING! A few weeks ago, you could add up the highs and not get positive numbers. So, yeah, if that forecast there doesn’t give you a case … Continue reading I Have Only One Thing To Say Today
A Gluttonous Reward For Finishing That Thing
What's that gooey pan of deliciousness, you ask? I'll tell you, my friend, it's brownies. A big pan of yummy, just-baked-and-waiting-for-someone-likely-named-Puddin-to-come-embarrass-himself-in-gluttonous-joy, brownies. Err, well, a partial pan of them, anyway. The kids obviously executed their right of first refusal. Still, this guy? This one is all mine. I kidnapped him from his pan buddies and … Continue reading A Gluttonous Reward For Finishing That Thing
