Livin’ It Up in the 5400

I had a whole first paragraph written out last night about actually writing before Sunday morning and how proud of myself I was. However, before I could finish the post I fizzled out and ended up helping Trout decoupage our TV cabinet instead. Anyway, now it’s Sunday morning, and hopefully this post will [...]

Sofas!

We (well, technically, Kathryn) bought sofas yesterday. For a lot of money. They’re very nice and will add a touch of class to our living room. They’ll be delivered tomorrow, at which point my stupid little loveseatfuton thing will find a new home – in a dumpster.
We haven’t told it yet.

Random Guitar Lesson. Also, Go Bears.

A few weeks ago I was plinking around on my guitar, trying to figure out “A Little Less Conversation” by Elvis. It’s unusually funky for an Elvis tune and is propelled by a groovy little rhythm guitar hook. It was made famous when a remixed version appeared in Ocean’s Eleven.

Where was I? Oh yes…routine, normalcy, leaving the [...]

Well OF COURSE I came up with something to write about. . .

Hmph. Like I said previously, because of how my brain works, I’m going to post now that I’ve told you I wouldn’t be posting for a while. A few thoughts this morning…
Wanna buy a kayak?A popular allusion in the world of whitewater boating is when someone has “the wife and kids talk.” It’s basically a [...]

Following Suit

Getting up this morning and making my way to the living room, the first thing I noticed was that, at long last, Trout was updating his blog. Seeing this, I realized it has been a while since I updated. I’ve sat down with my laptop on several occasions to try and update, but [...]

What’s Up?

Hey all. It’s been a while, and here’s why.
First, Kathryn moved in last month and that’s going really well. However, I’m unwilling to write about her life or our relationship publicly.
Second, the only other thing going on in my life is my work, and I’ve always been unwilling to write about that here. I could [...]
