Raindrops keep falling on my head...

2008-07-17T18:38:27Z

It is not exactly unusual, but it has rained every day since we got here. No complaints: the area could use the rain. But Tuesday we went to Busch Gardens and in the early afternoon it just poured on us. Today we went inner-tubing in a local pa...

When Mrs. WQ runs, she listens to books on her MP3 player. Well, yesterday she noticed that the USB-USBmini cable that she uses to move stuff onto and off of her player was missing from her purse. We turned the house upside down looking for it, ...

Last night I ended up being taken to the country club by my father-in-law (along with my wife) to have dinner with some friends, including a retired Dutch admiral who was sporting a red and yellow silk cravat, black shirt, and cream blazer with le...

A Mixed Blessing

2008-07-09T12:21:35Z

Since arriving here, the weather has been uncommonly rainy and cool. It is as if we have brought Ohio with us. I am refraining from complaining too much, however: I am not a huge fan of overly hot weather and this area continues to be suffering ...

Yesterday we set out for Florida in Fawkes, our RV, and today we arrived at our destination. It turned out to be a pretty good trip, with little of the problems we anticipated. There one was, however, that we did not anticipate. Dog flatulence....

Explaining tropes and a game called "Kloog"

2008-07-05T13:11:48Z

My son came to me this morning and asked "how is it that sometimes you can tell in a movie when someone's bad when they haven't really done anything bad yet? Like, in the movie Sky High I could tell that the girl was a villain even before she cam...

Three Games?

2008-07-04T15:53:38Z

Taking it easy(?)

2008-06-17T14:31:51Z

I'm thinking of hanging up my molds and my brush for a while. Last week I didn't have a free evening with work, and this week I don't have one with kid-related stuff, and I just don't feel like trying to shoehorn in yet another thing into my life...
