21 hours

I went to IKEA on Saturday.
I’ve complained about March already, so I won’t go into the downer side of life right now, but I can tell you that on Tuesday I had a glimmer of an idea – “I could drive to IKEA this weekend. It’s the only weekend where nothing is going on.” [...]

A pretty good idea

So, we’ve been having these fun nights for a few years now, and I finally wised up. Instead of having the Senior class help with with all three fun night, I had two dozen Seniors doing the first one. Picked a dozen from the Senior class and a dozen from the Junior class for the [...]

Surprisingly Anti-climactic

Nine years and five months ago the Civic had 4 miles on it. Now it has some small amount over 200,000 miles. And I did it all wrong. I should have arranged it so that I was in some exotic place like West Point or Sidney, Cairo or York, Hershey or Madrid, Oxford or Peru, [...]

Ouch.

Well, March began with a vengeance. Rather than bore you with my long, long list of complaints about today, let me share with you a video that never fails to make me laugh (in the past five days that I’ve known of its existence).
This kid — he slays me. It’s not [...]

Calling all IKEA shoppers

I need this swing.

In the school-age room at the CDC, our school-age coordinator would like a swinging chair for under her loft. I was excited to try and make one (that’s what the mystery legless chair was for), but trying to work out the logistics is just going to be more trouble than I [...]
