Mom and Dad are doing some home improvement projects to go along with the new floors. That includes a couple of pieces of furniture from Ikea. Dad hates putting them together, and Mom isn’t all that fond of them, but I love it. To me, it’s like a giant, 3-D…
I like video games. I especially like roleplaying games that let you decide how to play the game. Games like Fable and Dragon Age are fun because you choose who your character turns out to be by the end of the game. Almost always in these games I choose the…
I have a good friend at work that some of you may know. I call him Billbur, and he’s a fellow rennie and a lot of fun. Yesterday we were talking and the subject came around, by accident, to the X-Files. He asked me if I was a fan and…
I don’t know how my weekend is going to go, but for now it looks like I’m going to be pretty busy. Mom’s floor is getting replaced and we are going to do some shopping for more home improvement stuff for her house. Somewhere in there I hope to see…

Mom and I hit our favorite yard sale again today. The people just down the street put on a yard sale every few months to benefit Relay for Life. They put a ton of work into it. They get thousands of donations and they have to store everything that doesn’t…
Since I started blogging again, it has come to my attention that blogs are supposed to be about something. Rather than just rambling along about my (probably) boring life, I’m told I should pick something I’m interested in or have some expertise with and center my blog about that. With…
Mom and I went shopping tonight, just for something to do. We ended up at Old Navy and she found a couple of items she wanted to try. They had to let us into the dressing room, and since I had nothing to try on, but wanted to see how…
