I’ve been eating all of The Goon Squad’s Halloween Candy and I realized that purple skittles are gross. Now THAT is what I call a concealed weapon. (I stole this from Whit.) Danny Tanner Was Not Gay (Thanks again Frank Sucks). I just watched Claudia tell the cat “No! That is Ian’s.” She was talking [...]
I Voted, My Kids Owe Me $100, and Closure
November 7, 2006
I took the kids with me to vote this morning. (See crappy cell phone picture. Our regular camera is broken). As we were trying to leave the house Ian kept saying that something was going to “get him”. In my super tactful fashion I said “Let’s go! If anything is going to get you it [...]
WWYD?
November 6, 2006
I was downstairs changing over the laundry when I heard something outside. It really sounded like someone was raking in my front yard. I looked outside and yes indeed, my neighbor was raking my yard. Why was she raking our yard? Yes, there were a lot of leaves there, but we have big trees and [...]
John McCain Woke Up My Kids
November 4, 2006
Let’s be honest. Really he just woke Ian up. Okay, and while we’re telling the truth he woke them up by calling my house. And right. It was actually a recording of John McCain. He wanted me to vote Republican on Tuesday. Listen here Johnny. If I wanted to re-elect a racist Senator I’d move [...]

Blue. No, Yellow!
November 2, 2006
Yesterday we had a class coffee for The Goon Squad’s preschool class. I know it sounds silly, and I had no idea what to expect but it was really nice to sit around and talk about our kids with their teacher and the other parents in the class. One of the things the teacher asked [...]
Ding Ding Ding. We Have a Winner.
November 2, 2006
Shash won the contest from yesterday when she guessed that my kids thought the mystery toy was a saxophone. I’m not even sure how they knew what a saxophone was (I guess I teach them things accidentally all of the time. I wonder if they still remember that William Green and I have the same [...]
Go ahead. Take a guess. (A Contest)
November 1, 2006
I know what it is (it shoots out balls for batting practice) and I know what it looks like (drug paraphernalia) but go ahead and guess what The Goon Squad thought it was? If you can figure out what they thought it was I will give you a prize. And then I will question your [...]
