N.J. Boy, 5, Saves Choking Grandmother
That’s all there was to it? Sounds to me like the Grandma embellished the story to make her Grandson a hero, but I quibble.

From Wanna-Be to Rock Star

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Ok, now I’m a bit suspicious but this guy claims that Rock Band made him the drummer he is today. Uh huh… right.

Never, Give Up Bryan Anderson

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Two years ago, a bomb in Iraq took his legs and an arm. Now Bryan Anderson needs a hand that won’t break all the time when he’s skateboarding or, someday, holding his kids. And is it too much to ask that wheelchairs start looking a little cooler? As Anderson and other veterans push the technology, [...]

Sickness Abounds!

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Hi all,
Quick little blurbage alerting the world to stay the heck away from the Paladin compound. Yesterday our youngest completed, not one, but two projectile vomiting sessions. Of course, they were in two separate rooms. Lovely, we didn’t like that sofa very much anyway.
Today, I pick up Son #1 and Son #2 at a friends [...]

Pixel Couch Makes Gamers Feel Right at Home

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Video games are expanding out into everyday life more and more. Did you see the Tetris shelves? Gamers have to be loving this movement!

Jay Jay? You were lame before. And this isn’t helping.

Fools Rush In…

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008


Making a fool of oneself has apparently become a national pastime. Good times!

Michigan Girl’s Birthday Wish Comes True

Monday, March 24th, 2008

At her seventh birthday party, Amber Birdsall thought the huge gift box wrapped in pink paper likely hid a pair of bicycles.
She was wrong. Inside was something she wanted even more — her stepfather, a soldier who had been deployed overseas.
”This is way better than bikes,” Amber said.
I just love stuff like this!

The Kite Runner
Some critics are calling this the year’s best film.
CHTHO’s Cultural Blunder and Documentary Production on World’s Oldest Animation
Could be. Interesting.

Size Matters Not

“A person’s a person, no matter how small.”
So… Horton is pro-life? Well, of course he is.

New Rock Band Songs Revealed
Uhh… “Blinded By Fear” by At The Gates, “Thrasher” by Evile and “D.O.A.” by the Hunted? Color me unimpressed. There hasn’t been a good DLC song in quite some time. Let’s get to work guys!

Number one? Our very own Western Kentucky. [...]

It’s Official! New Baby on the Way!

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Anyone who’s ever met me, knows that one of my favorite expressions is, “The more, the merrier!”
Don’t look now, but official “big family” status, here we come!
(Anyone who’d like to make a donation to our new Mac & Cheese family meal plan, please email me privately.)

The Brackets Are Out!

Monday, March 17th, 2008

The brackets are out! The brackets are out! So, how did the committee do? Very well, actually. Here are my only gripes:

If Tennessee didn’t deserve one of the four #1 seeds after having the #1 RPI with the #1 strength of schedule (I don’t know what’s the deal with that) then they certainly didn’t deserve [...]

College Basketball Madness

Friday, March 14th, 2008

In my book, this is the best time of the year to be a sports fan. NFL is good; their playoffs even better. The NBA season is a yawn but their post-season picks up a bit. Baseball? Seriously?!? Hockey, nope. Tennis, forgetabout. Golf? Only The Masters even gets a look.
I’m sorry, but no other [...]
