My hands are barely able to type this entry. Milca hasn’t been feeling good lately, what with the pets and all, but she was getting sick the past couple mornings after I’d left for work. She’s a little late, too, so we got a test yesterday. Positive. I’m so… everything right now.

So, Joni, our dog that got in to the tussle with Croce, has not been herself since then. She has been slow and gloomy. We thought it might have been her feeling guilty, as Milca wasn’t altogether that warm towards her after the attack. The dogs also went unfed that night, so they must have […]

Last Saturday Milca’s mom left for Paris, and Milca left to hang out with a friend which left me alone to do as I liked. I went to see a production at PCC of Tartuffe that my girl Corey is performing in. I rode my bike to the Gold Line station, rode it to Allen, […]

“So, how’s married life?” I don’t think you really understand how many times this question is asked of a recently married couple until you have been married. It almost completely replaces any other greeting that you would expect to hear. Of course, Milca and I were living together for quite a while before we were […]

I still don’t know what I was waiting for And my time was running wild A million dead-end streets Every time I thought I’d got it made It seemed the taste was not so sweet So I turned myself to face me But I’ve never caught a glimpse Of how the others must see the […]

I seem to find out something about my wife that blows my mind. She went to see Nine Inch Nails play with Ministry back in the day. Who opened for them? That would be Tool, before they were big. Who knew that my Joni Mitchell loving hippie wife would have ever seen those bands in […]

So, I posted about the new job and got a comment about the politics of the new boss. Rather than write a lengthy reply in the comments, I opted to make a post about it. I used to work for the Boy Scouts of America. While there I came across a fax that was to […]
