J's blog

How lucky am I? My 10-year-old will fight me on minutia, but listen to me for the important stuff. Daddy J FTW, eating veggies tonight!

My daughter just IM’d to me “Sometimes I wonder about you” and I refrained from replying “sometimes?” As a parent, I’m growing…

It is summer in Texas. It is under 70 degrees, and I’m not in bed yet. It’s not even midnight…

OK, so I like the rain. That PARTICULAR clap of instantaneous lightning and thunder was just a little too close for my taste.

I’m so lame. Every night I spend with my daughter raises my hopes for humanity, despite the dopes running for office.

Heh. Romneypresent, defined. http://t.co/5RpgY8Sw

End of an era, minitel (precursor to the internet) just shut down in France. http://t.co/5eQVDkcG

Down to 81 degrees this morning? Better put on a sweater…

If I had a nickel for every way in which I am sore, I wouldn’t be able to move.

Ahhh! And yes, G has done the slide many times already… http://t.co/MsRWC3fe

How am I to do any editing with such cute and playful kittens about?

G’s last (half) day of 4th grade, with water balloons & super soaker. Would say “no super soakers when I was…” but didn’t go full fogey.

Happy whatjamacallit day!

My life would be so much better if I had full control of Grover Norquist’s shock collar.
