I just got an E-mail with a rather interesting display name. Most messages that find their way into my inbox follow one of four conventional nomenclatures: the unimaginative “ted@rad-dude.com;” formal “Smith, Wanda;” casual “Bill Gray” or simple “Mike.” I got a new one today. It came from “George McQuade, Award-Winning…” something or other. To be [...]

Tiny, who’ll be 21 months old Thursday (that’s “almost two” for people who favor solar age above lunar), saw some change on a chair in my bedroom this morning and became very excited. He really enjoys putting coins in his piggy bank, so I told him he could have them if he helped me count [...]

I’m so glad I decided to watch the news this morning, because I learned that the Hummer brand of vehicles has failed. It is no more. GM only sold 9,000 of those ugly monstrosities last year (which is 9,000 too many, but oh, well) and no one wants to buy the brand. Thank you, people [...]

We’re all busy.

We took Tiny to his cousin’s birthday party at one of those indoor playland arcade places – no, not the one that serves pizza and terror; where a kid can be a kid whose dreams are haunted by animatronic rats in cheerleader outfits – another place. I think it’s local. He had a blast. We [...]
Late in 2007, around our first wedding anniversary, Mrs. G and I found out that Tiny was on his way. That Christmas I commemorated his anticipated arrival with an ornament; it was a bun in an oven. Each Christmas since then, I’ve made a new one. On Tiny’s first Christmas I made a cast of [...]
Tiny has been trying to seriously injure himself for the last two and a half years. He has employed various means including, but not limited to: doors, floors, walls, bats, cats, slides, shoes and concrete. This time it was a rock lodged in his head that prompted a worried call and an MMS from his [...]
Children, especially toddlers, have tiny bodies with great, huge, heavy heads, and very little good sense. So any time they move (which in Tiny’s case is all the time) it’s like they’re challenging the world to a head-butting contest that they are destined to lose. Today, though, it was another kid who stepped in front [...]

I got my birthday present a week or so early (Thanks, Mrs. G!). It’s a fantastic Digital SLR camera. And while I still love taking lo-fi shots with my phone, I am really happy to have the opportunity to try my hand at portraiture. Now if that new portrait lens would somehow find its way [...]
