Hug a Vet
Thank God there are people brave enough in this world to defend the freedom that all of us in the good ol’ USA enjoy every day. My grandfather was a vet, my dad is a vet, Monica’s dad is a vet, and we have friends that are future vets…heck, Monica’s a vet too. Here’s to…

Candyland
So we got a fair amount of trick or treaters last night, mostly made up of kids under the age of ten. We almost went through two five pound bags of candy from Sam’s Club, and now I’m sitting here eating the leftovers. What was this holiday all about again?

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In…

220, 221 – Whatever It Takes
Just wanted to say Happy Mother’s Day to the bestest moms out there today, Jeanette and Julia. You both have looked out for us countless times through the years, and words can’t express how grateful we are to have mothers such as you. We love you both very much. Happy Mother’s Day, Moms!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
A long time ago, when the Earth was green There was more kinds of animals than you’ve ever seen They’d run around free while the Earth was being born And the loveliest of all was the unicorn There was green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats…

Dead Presidents
So I forget to say what we did for the President’s Day holiday. Actually, it was only a holiday for me; Monica had to work. 🙁 On a side note, the official name is for the holiday is Washington’s Birthday, not President’s Day. If you don’t believe me, read this. We had plans to do…

And Then, There Were Flowers
Valentine’s Day is one of the days that I believe is dreaded by most men in this country. It is a day when they are expected to do something very romantic to prove to the women in their lives how much they are loved and appreciated. This holiday might have started as the holiday for…

Random Musings
If you’re going to New York to exchange gifts and celebrate Christmas with your family, you might want to bring the gifts with you. 🙁 Apparently, it’s “okay” to have awards and parties spewing hatred and making comparisons to genocidal dictators as long as the person you’re talking about is named George W. Bush. :whocares:…

Santa Has Left The Building
Well, the Christmas decorations are down so that means the holiday season is officially over. By now, I’m always ready to take them down and get the place back to normal, but it’s a bit depressing as it’s a signal that it’s time to go back to work and join the real world again. I’ve…

2004
I’ve posted our photos from the New Year’s Eve Party. I can’t believe it’s already 2004. When I was a kid, any year that didn’t start with a 19 just sounded so weird. Either it was a time long ago that I read about in history books, or it was some time in the future…
