No Booze, Coffee or Sweets?

I've been behaving badly lately. While I've not been chugging 12-packs
and whiskey, shotgunning coffee and polishing it all off with a cake,
it sure feels that way. I've become a bit puffier than this young man
should be. Since December there's been a succession of feasts, great
meals and sweet snacks parading through our house, for many good
reasons.

Today is the day Vivian came home from the hospital, last week was
Valentine's and my mother in law's birthday, tonight is our salon
(http://salon.fuzzymath.com/) and it's featuring Mari's Foiled
Cupcakes (http://www.foiledcupcakes.com/) which are totally delicious.
This weekend we're having not 1, but 2 parties for Sophia's 6th
birthday, it is getting insane. Those 6 year olds chug Vodka like
Russian hockey players in Lake Placid, 1980. And what they do with
cake.. it's unspeakable.

So, enough is enough. This dude is saying "No more!" I'm not
super-Catholic, but Lent seemed a good time to throw down a challenge
to myself and avoid all of the above, letting my system and my
waistline calm down a bit. The end of winter and the beginning of
spring means we need to be ready for renewal to come, and this young
man is starting his today!

Soldier Field at Night: Bears v. Vikings

Man, it was cold. This may have been Brett Favre's last regular season
game, but I've thought that since what? 2002?

Where's my green stapler?

Trying out the green stapler Mark gave me as a gift. We'll see how the binding holds on that 'staple.'

Awesome interactive display at the Children's Museum

My favorite part is when the 5 almost 6 year old Sophia describes how it works. Brilliant. But how does it really work? Arduino?

Days of fall past

*sigh*

These beautiful fall days are behind us now, as we tuck into our Turkey or Tofurkey before our long winter's naps...

Barry's beatdown

Ah yes. Here's to proof, delivered on a Friday, that two 40 year old gents can still act as moronic as some 20 something dudes.

Barry and I have been friends for nearly 20 years. For almost 15 years we have played some variety of video game football. From tecmobowl to madden to espn to madden, Barry has consistently beaten me. Until now...
