The boy has been asking for steak for a while now. Kelly and the girls don’t eat steak, so I make it infrequently, and when I do, I usually grill it. But I told the boy I’d make steak on Friday and on Friday, I made steak. I bought a nice thick rib-eye to split…
Yesterday, Zach, the Little Man, decided he wanted to cook dinner for everyone. He decided he wanted to make salmon, french fries, and asparagus. And you know what? He did, and it came out fantastic. He did the entire affair himself with two exception which I stepped in to help. He walked to our local…
I mean, really, who doesn’t right? What about cooking? And funny? Do you like funny? Well then, forget Julie and Julia and take short link hop over to the Mouse House Kitchen where gives you food and funny all in one heaping helping. Think of it as George Carlin meets Rachel Ray: you know, like the…

Another lazy day. Kelly was up around 7 or 7:30 and I got up a little later and ate some breakfast, but then I went back to bed for a while, still needing to rest and be lazy. I spent most of the day watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy on DVD and finished up the…
We slept in late this morning. Actually, we got up for a while and then went back to bed. I’d been working hard all week and I had to work more today but I needed some rest. We finally got up and showered sometime around 11 AM. Around noon I started to work. Kelly headed off…
I finished the second draft of "Depression Baby". It took me 90 minutes to rewrite the last 660 words or so. The story now stands at 6,200 words, longer than I was intending, but I think it works. I’ve got some cleanup to do, but I think I might be able to get it out in the mail…
My 9 hour workday seemed to pass by in 15 minutes or so. I continued my work on the PowerPoint slide deck for the training session I’m leading in mid-March. I started as soon as I got into the office, worked on it nonstop until lunchtime. I paused at lunch to eat, read more of Steal Across…
I made chicken marsala and rice pilaf for dinner and both came out good. I may have slightly overcooked the rice, but it was the first time in my life that I ever made rice and I thought it tasted really good. There were some leftovers which Kelly is taking for her lunch today. No writing last night.…
I’m sequestering myself in the office this week in order to complete some training material for a 3-day train-the-trainer session I’ll be leading in mid-March. I started the work morning off by putting together my annual self-appraisal. With the exception of one meeting, I spent the rest of the day working on the training stuff, and…
I’ve been trying to spend my Sunday’s offline–disconnected from Internets, phones, TV, etc. I did pretty good today, with one or two small exceptions. I had another busy day planned and I did pretty good: Did the grocery shopping for the week Completed all of the paperwork I need to submit to our accountant for tax season Prepared…
We headed back home today. We had such a great time visiting with strausmouse and rmstraus –too short, really. We left their house around 10:30 AM and we were in our door three hours later, which is just how it should be. I’m so glad we decided to fly and not drive. We would have lost…
