so…there is this elevator in the building where I work. Let’s call it “Elevator Car No. 5″ because that is its name: “Elevator Car No. 5.”
Anyway…”No. 5″ (for short, and laying the possible ground work for some Short Circuit quotes) is in the lobby with 3 other elevators. In the 6 months that I’ve been […]

so…back in July, when my Dad came to visit, we tore out the old sliding glass door in the dining room and put in the new french doors.
It should be noted that we bought the french doors in June of 2005 — I was just waiting until they were appropriately aged..yeah, that’s the ticket…
well, the […]

so…
Question: why is that every time I turn on the radio, I hear the same five songs 15 times a day for three months? Maaaannn! Funk That!

so…yesterday I was giving Sammy a bath. His baths would put high-end spa treatments to shame: the bubbles are high and thick.
I like to make his bubble baths with three types of bubbles, because let’s face it, not all bubbles are created the same! Some last longer than others, and how much does it suck […]

so…in our neighborhood, all of the houses are separated by a two-car driveway. Our neighbors to the right are amazing cooks. And they have an amazing ventilation system in the kitchen:

so…it’s snowing in Boston…
…and it’s sticking…

so…it’s pretty dark this morning. I know, I know, thank you Mr. Obvious! “you mean it’s dark at 5:45 am? I never would have guessed!”
It’s actually dark on the train.
Less than a minute after pulling out of the station the generator that runs the lights for the whole train stopped work. Now there is only […]

so…in light of my post this morning where I pondered the cruelty of James Blunt:
And, would James Blunt’s music suck any less if his testicals ever dropped?
Why am I being subjected to this? I don’t think there is an hour of the day that would make this sound good.
My first thought, well, second thought after […]

so…last night, Sammy, after not taking a good nap all day, decided that 6:30 was going to be a good time to fall asleep for the night, instead of his normal 7:30-8:00 bebdtime.
he woke up at 3:45 am…
…and he’s still up…
…will he fall back to sleep?
