Amazing how things change and stay the same… And lo, I’ve heard the request for more pictures of the boy. I’m working on a function to batch process a bunch of files at once, thus making my life a lot easier when it comes to posting them on the web. Once the function gets written, …

The kinda stuff that’s been on my mind
What’s been on my mind lately Well, it’s money. Pure and simply put, Laureen and I are deeply in debt, much deeper than I’ve ever been before, and I hate it. I’ve often wondered why I worry about money so much. Laureen has a much different view about money, and she seems to be OK …
No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth
No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth Just awfully tired these days. I’m chairman of FCC Richardson this year. This normally wouldn’t mean much, but this year is tough. There’s so much to do, and not enough time to do everything. This morning I went over to fix the church secretary’s PC, …

New Year’s Eve Party
As many of you know, tomorrow is the 31st of December. This day is a day for remembrance, for celebration of the year’s accomplishments, and for quiet comtemplation about what will happen next year…. Ah, forget that. If it’s New Year’s Eve, that means there’s chili at the Joneses! This year is going to be …
Our Christmas
Our Christmas Well, it’s been not exactly fun at the Jones’ household over Christmas this year. Several factors contributed to it, but here’s the brief rundown: 1. Lack of Christmas traditions. Laureen and I discovered that pretty much every Christmas had been spent somewhere else. We barely have the tree up, and the ornaments that …
updates
updates I’ve been working a lot on the OEDILF lately. Jacob’s getting big. Wow. Life’s pretty good. Right now, I’m just really busy and don’t have time to do more of an in-depth explanation of things. Short version: We’re applying for a home equity loan. Joy. I’m becoming chairman of the church next year. Joy. …
Some updates
Some updates Jacob: doing fine. Got his flu booster shot. Big boy. Laureen: doing fine. Starting to work out on a more regular basis. Computer: Larry came, hooked his multimeter up to it, said, “It works,” and put it back together in working order. Sigh. Picture flood coming soon once I figure out a few …
Happy birthday to Laureen
Happy birthday to Laureen Well, it’s a crazy day. 1. Today is Laureen’s birthday. Since I’m a gentleman, I’ll refuse to divulge how old she is. One of the things Laureen wanted for a birthday present was to have her BURP (Babies and Understanding the Realities of Parenting) mommies and babies over on Thursday. Sounds …
Chewie update
Chewie update She had the surgery and came home yesterday. Her entire back hindquarters is shaved on one side, and the stitches look…well, I can’t look for too long. She had six screws put into her leg. She’s got the no-lick collar on. This one is better than the one she wore when she was …
How do I love thee, let me count the dollars…
How do I love thee, let me count the dollars… Well, Chewie’s at the surgeon’s right now. $2300. And it was a genetic deformity that was waiting to happen. It wasn’t swimming at the lake house, or going uphill, or anything like that. Apparently some part of her tibia was badly positioned, and the ACL …
