On With The Funny

Posted October 31st @ 3:28 pm by Mike

Thanks to everyone for their kind words.  I know it is upsetting when the funny guy is serious so we are going to get back to our regularly scheduled program.
Happy Halloween!
Today is Travis’ first Halloween.  Heidi hooked him up with a pumpkin costume (originally she was working on a hand made monkey costume for him […]

Late yesterday afternoon my grandmother (my last grandparent) passed away.  I am still a little unsure how I feel.  I think I am okay, it wasn’t something that came out of the blue, I suppose I was ready for it.  But it is my own feeling of complacency that makes feel uncomfortable.  It seems that I […]

Hey I Know That Guy

I am sure this isn’t as funny as I think it is.

When I am a little lost for something to say or short on time to put something together the cheap way out is to just post a funny video or a link to some funny story.  James Ward Some people would have me post videos of Japanese games shows that force contestants to read tongue […]

MTG: The Stalking

Posted October 24th @ 2:22 pm by Mike

A quick little story from my geeky days of traveling around playing card games (instead of talking to girls and such).  Of course, the details are sketchy at best, I am not the best at remembering things … this is why I don’t post a tonne of stories here (I think I have lots of […]

Still stuck in the time machine that only goes backwards.  I managed to put on another pound this week making the total 249.  I think I got thing thing figured out, no more slipping up here.  The train is back on track.  Woo woo.  Have I even mentioned that I am an extremist … the […]

We Have Toofers

Posted October 20th @ 1:20 pm by Mike

Travis has not been having a very good week as far as sleeping.  He is more of a short track sleeper not a long distance (at one time marathon) sleeper like his dad.  Last night while we were playing I thought I saw something new in his mouth.  I wanted to have a look to […]

I Wish …

I wish I had as much money as Steve Wynn.  He is a Casino/Hotel mogul and has a room in his house with a chessboard pattern on the floor so he can play chess with real people (I made this up … but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true).
Recently he bough some real fancy Picasso […]

How About Those Glendale Cardinals of Phoenix

Posted October 17th @ 1:32 pm by Mike

I watched the first half of Monday Night Football last night.  I was stunned.  During their first possession Matt Leinart of the Arizona Buzzsaws, a rookie starting his 2nd game, took the ball and pushed it down the field like Peyton Manning would. Against the #1 defense in football … Da Bears, to boot.
The score […]
