All of suddent today Laura got that look. It’s the look that scares me because the gears are turning and ya just never know what she is going to say.
The next thing I know she is turning her desk in the office to face the window and we’ve moved the DVD case into the little […]

It’s the last hours of 2005. We’ve made it past noon so it’s the home stretch.
I cleaned the house yesterday so we don’t have to do that today. We are pretty much chilling and having a good time. I think we just decided that the X-mas tree will come down today. Tonight it’ll be Champagne […]

Sometimes the simplest of things will change a mood.
Tonight it was a combo of a nice order or Orange Beef and Dumplings, a hug from Emily saying “I’ll never forget you because your my only daddy”, and two e-mails that totally cheered me up. It’s the little things that matter the most.
This picture is from […]

So, my day wasn’t much more productive then yesterday. Did plenty of thinking about things and sat down to actually be productive, but the mental level needed to proceed just wasn’t there. WTF is wrong with me today? *grin* Well, part of it is that the website I wanted to work on kept going up […]

Weird day.
Met a listener for coffee. I got there early. Wrong place so I had way to much strong coffee.
I came home and did a quick podcast. Then the head started feeling weird. I think I just had too much coffee and not enough fresh air.
Crashed on the couch and watched “Layercake.” I really liked […]

Back from our surprise trip to N.H. It was great to see everyone and to be there for the holidays. Plus the look on my parent’s faces was priceless.
Getting ready to bring the kids to school and realizing that there will not be enough hours to get everything done this week that I want to. […]

I am pushing this show out to both of my feeds so I figured I should post it here as well for those of you who just come here to read and might want something a bit different.
Listen to C.C.’s Happy Holidays 2005 Podcast
It’s 45 minutes of nothing but podsafe holiday music. All very chilled […]

So the kids got in the mood to record a little audio today. Dylan has been singing this all week and Emily made her’s up on the spot. Of course I did a quick google search for some random background music to quickly surprise the kids.
Dylan’s Holiday Song
Emily’s Holiday Song
Of course Emily got this strange […]

It’s the day before X-Mas and it’s almost 50 degrees out. Feels very strange here in New England.
I was up late last night recording my holiday podcast which will go out in a few hours, but it was nice and relaxing. Of course I did it long after everyone went to bed so the house […]

I had this poster on my wall growing up. It’s an image that is burned in my head as one of those images of growing up.
Today I hit the movies to check out Peter Jackson’s King Kong. I wasn’t sure what to expect outside of 3 hours of good old fashion ‘popcorn movie’ fun. Boy, […]

My birthday was weird. It wasn’t bad, but it was kind of blah for no particular reason. Just lots of little things that kept bugging me. A missed meeting. A broken remote. Little things.
This morning Roxie was curled up on some pillows that the kids had put out and Emily decided it would be a […]

I’m determined to learn to play the guitar this year. I want and need to.
So today as I saw a Guitar Center I swung in and bought a holder so that my guitar will be sitting here stairing me in the face all the time in the office. That way I don’t have an excuse.
The […]

FINALLY got together with Dan last night. We’ve been trying to for a long time and ended up scheduling several weeks out so that it wouldn’t get missed. Met up at Sal’s which I haven’t been to in a long time. Still my favorite place for a cheesesteak in the area. Good stuff.
Of course the […]

I opened my e-mail this morning to see this in my inbox. Totally sums up what I need a case of right now. A case of these and a bottle of Jack and I think everything will be better. *grin*

Anyone got any of this in their medicine cabinet that they’d be willing to share?

Everyone reading this. No reason to worry about me. I’m doing fine.
Something happened at work that now has me short staffed so that alone would be enough to stress me out beyond belief. But, on top of that it’s the time of year where people suddenly feel that they need things and they have to […]
