Thoughts on crappy feet

So it's 1:00 am, and I'm doing some emergency toenail repair and antifungal treatment, and it occurs to me that if the chiropractor I'm getting a referral for Friday is any good, I may as well start running again. My feet are in the same horrible shape they were when I was a Marine!

I know what you mean, Randall.

It's been a hard day at the zoo

MVA 1, Pierce 0

As I sat waiting almost two hours to pay the Maryland MVA at least part of $1,130 we owe because of arcane insurance regulations, so I won't have to drive my wife (edited from "wide"--apparently the predictive text engine in my phone has a sense of humor about my 100-pounds-after-two-kids better half) everywhere anymore, I never thought they'd require us both to be here. Score one for perverted bureaucracy, I guess.

Dirty thoughts

I'm not sure there's enough drugs or therapy available for someone who thinks there's a salacious interpretation to this photo. Of course, it doesn't help that the product advertised is named HotRecorder, does it?

Who says Germans don't have a sense of humor

Somehow, I just can't see this ad flying in the US, at least not without mobilizing major metropolitan police and homeland security apparatuses. But in Germany, it flies. (Via Boing Boing.)

Kane's third birthday

And he's made it to three! There have been times I was wondering if he would. But he's there now and that opens up a whole new world of small-parted toys and other dangerous items! If he only realized!

Laura's first school picture

Sometimes the passage hits you like a ton of bricks.
I didn't expect to be a father, not really.
End of the line, blaze of glory, drunken war whoop!
But she changed that, and without reservation I'm glad.
I can't imagine not having her in my life.
I can't imagine how dark it would really be without her light.
Her smile, her sharp wit, her silliness.
I love you.
