Lucas Our 15 year old is something of a heartbreaker. The little goober doesn’t even know how cute/adorable/hawt he is. Which is a part of his charm, I guess.

Our 15 year old is something of a heartbreaker.

The little goober doesn’t even know how cute/adorable/hawt he is. Which is a part of his charm, I guess.

He’s living proof that good genes from the mother can vanquish any and all deficiencies inherited from the father.

Though frankly, he needs a haircut.

It’s a rare day when this kid doesn’t make me laugh at something she’s said or done.

“Do the Right Thing” opened in theaters twenty years ago today. (!) “Let me tell you the story of “Right Hand, Left Hand.” It’s a tale of good and evil. Hate: It was with this hand that Cane iced his brother. Love: These five fingers, they go straight to the soul of man. The right hand: the hand of love. The story of life is this: Static. One hand is always fighting the other hand; and the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand, Love, is finished. But, hold on, stop the presses, the right hand is coming back. Yeah, he got the left hand on the ropes, now, that’s right. Ooh, it’s the devastating right and Hate is hurt, he’s down. Left-Hand Hate K.O.ed by Love. “ —Radio Raheem

“I am the sound of Death.”

That horrible clicking noise you hear is some serious “hard drive death rattle.”

Jon is a very sad man right now.

(I haven’t lost any data, (I back up 12 ways to Sunday), but it just makes me kind of mopey to know that the machine is quite dead, you know? (the screen is being all kinds of funky, see photo I posted earlier.))

Holy crap, I really do need a life.

  • Me: Did you post "Hello" to tumblr with my iPhone?
  • 15 yr. old: Um.
  • Me: Um?
  • 15YO: Um. Yeah. I guess I might have.
  • Me: Listen, I don't mind you posting, but you have to at least *try* and be witty, OK?
  • 15YO: Right.
  • Me: Seriously, I'm still figuring this whole tumblr thing out. I can't have you making me look like a complete idiot. I already do that enough. I don't need you adding to it.
  • 15YO: Whatever, Dad.
Yeah, one of my kids decided my tumblr needed a little bit of “flava.” Have to say I feel like I dodged a bullet, given that “Hello” was all he posted. IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP, PEOPLE: Kids are dangerous.

Housekeeping Note

I’ve finally realized it’s a bit gauche to stuff my Tumblr with a feed of my tweets, so I’ve nuked the twitter feed.

Carry on as if nothing happened…
