- To whomever made copies of my debit card and distributed it to several other people who all tried to buy gas in multiple states on September 12, I hope your grandmothers all die when their bordello catches fire.
- Luckily, only one relatively small transaction made it through my bank’s fraud protection.
- i do not, however, have a debit card at the moment as a new one is being made by my bank and shipped to me.
- It’s a good day when I get to use quotes from “Quigley Down Under” not once, but twice, in conversation.
- For those playing at home, they were “I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn’t know how to use it.” and ” don’t know where we’re going, but there’s no sense being late.”
- It was parent’s night at Boo’s school tonight. We were happy to hear that his new teacher seems to have him in hand already.
- Not paying attention during a staff meeting can be very embarrassing.
- Is it cruel to check your daughter’s grades on-line, see that she’s doing very well, and draw out the “We really need to talk about your performance in school” speech at the table before breaking down into a smile that tells her it’s OK?
- Summer pushed back a bit today. It got hot and muggy enough that we’ve closed the house back up and turned on the air conditioner. Oh well, highs in the 70’s will return shortly.
- I’ve seen five wooly worms that are almost all brown. If folklore is accurate, that means a relatively mild winter.
- My bones, on the other hand, are advising that I stock up on buffalo meat, firewood, and fur coats.
- Peter has a new book out. It’s going into the “Read as soon as you can” pile. He’s a great writer, and this is a subject that is near and dear to his heart. I’m really looking forward to reading it.
- My co-workers complimented me on the portraits of the kids that I have on my desk. I’m proud to say that they were all taken by my lovely Irish Woman. If I could only get her in front of the camera more often.

A couple weeks ago I was in a relatively nice restaurant with my sons. Noticing something not quite right, I put on my serious face and leaned over the table so I could speak to my 17-year-old in a whisper and started to say “I’m not going to tell you how to live your life, but…” Just at that moment our waiter showed up to refill our water glasses, so I sat back and waited, as a look of growing terror crept over my son’s face. The waiter left, and I leaned back in and whispered “I’m not going to tell you how to live your life, but if I were you I’d sneak off to the men’s room and turn my shirt right side out.”
If you don’t get to torment your children from time to time, what’s the point of being a parent?
