To celebrate my father's birthday this year I'm going to post this onto my blog.

And now go back to work here in the office.

Happy Birthday, Dad! J- and I will give you a call later.

My wife recently made a new blog post. In it she wrote:

I don’t eat a ton of yogurt compared to my family [...]

What Rhx says is absolutely correct. I would like to say, on the record, that I also don't eat a ton of yogurt compared to ...

The Volcanoes year is over. They were eliminated just hours after Wednesday's post. They were playing a 3-game-series with Boise. It seems incredible to me that a post-season series would be decided in a 3-game-series. Short-Season Single-A teams's seasons are short -- what did I expect?

But MLB has ...

The Single A Short Season Northwest League has wrapped up its short regular season. J-'s Hops were edged out on Sunday in the best way for me -- the San Francisco affiliate Volcanoes clinced a second half win.

Today we took J. to his third church service. It was the first time I had to take him out of the service for fussiness. It was also the first time I had to take him out of the service for a diaper change. I took J. up to the ...

I want to wish Sheena a happy birthday.

I confused some people today by spreading the news that it's Sheena's birthday today: no Sheena is not my wife. Nor is she my daughter. Sheena is a cousin to me, but I can't remember if she is a ...

I didn't want to write about writing here, but it sure was an easy way to get started, so today I'll change the subject, and talk about the catastrophe of home ownership: the garden.

When I was a young man, I rented places, and my landlords paid gardeners ...

In the month of June I drove to work. Now that we're in July, I'm back on the bus. The bus means I get some time to listen to my net-casts and maybe do some reading & writing.

Of greatest relevance here is my hope to increase the amount ...
