Postulates & Pasttimes TTFN - and Happy 4th! Posted: Thu, 03 Jul 2008 11:51:07 +0000    I’m pretty sure that I, and nearly 2/3 of America, will get nothing done at work today. That is, if 2/3 of America is actually AT work today, which I’m doubting considering the traffic this morning. And the only reason I’m at work today, rather than kicking back working from home, is because some nimrod [...] I’m too sexy for this post…so sexy it hurts! Posted: Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:48:10 +0000   T here are lot of things about a person, physically, that help shape how others view them. And many of us spend out entire lives tweaking our personal presentation through the way we dress, or by the types of exercise we do; and of course, through our hairstyle. But there’s one area of personal [...] Feeling sorry for myself, care to join me? Posted: Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:56:54 +0000   So this morning, CareerMom and I headed down to my Orthopedic Surgeon’s office and I was treated to two exquisetly painful epidural steroid injections. Actually, when we got down there, they didn’t have me on the schedule and I was this | | close to pitching one of my famous fits, when they came [...] Post # 2 for today (kinda) Posted: Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:08:12 +0000  (Don’t miss my “next-to-latest” exciting post immediately below this one) Just wanted to add a quick post and picture. You’ll recall my briefly recounting the story of our going to an Atlanta Braves game? Well, while we were sitting there, one of these “photo-journalist” types came around and took our picture. I had forgotten about it [...] Tanks n’…Barbies? Posted: Sun, 29 Jun 2008 13:01:09 +0000   T his past week, an infrequent friend of ours, whose daughter is also in MLIs daycare class and who is a single mother, was moving. Having lived through this particular brand of hell with our own kids, we offered to watch her daughter during the process; something which she took us up on with [...] No really…I was working late last night Dad! Posted: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:26:40 +0000   Warning: Herein lies TMI. Tread cautiously. I have a coupon in my personal e-mail box for 15% off condoms. Now, you may ask yourself, “What did he sign up for to get on a condom e-mail list?” I don’t subscribe to Playboy magazine if that’s what you’re wondering. No, I actually DID purchase condoms and [...] A note about the new header image Posted: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:07:03 +0000  The new header image was inspired by Surfer Jay’s comments in response to my post (here) about how your love of cooking is sure to take a tumble when you start having kids. Jay, this is what my spice drawer looks like most of the time. No matter how many times I straighten it, the kids [...] Ebert and Roeper would give me a "Thumbs Down" Posted: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:30:01 +0000   T his weekend, even CareerMom, from whom patience springs forth like the water in Niagara Falls after the winter thaw, had seemingly “gotten over” the constant entertainment requirements of our children. Thanks in no small part, I feel, to Daycare and the constant entertainment provided there, as soon as the kids get home at [...] Chef Ramsey…psshh…You Don’t Scare Me! Posted: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:07:09 +0000  I love watching “Hell’s Kitchen.” Having worked in numerous kitchens growing up, and myself having a love of cooking, I get my kicks watching Ramsey bring tears to grown men’s eyes. Granted, most of these contestants were handpicked by studio directors, no doubt under the watchful gaze of a psychiatrist, for maximum hysterics value, but [...] Remember, the Meme you save, may be your own! Posted: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:06:26 +0000   B ikini over at Pantsfreesia (also a lady whom I work with in a remote kinda way) tagged me for a meme, I suspect largely because I’ve been a bit of a bummer lately and the goings on at work didn’t help and I figure she knows I needed a diversion. Now, I’ve never “memed” [...]
