It won't be long before she doesn't need Dad. 

Thank you OLCC.....

.... for keeping the Brewfest a kid-friendly venue!

Not just for spitwads anymore.

Remember when you were a kid and you scraped your arm or knee, your first instinct was to spit on it, rub it in a bit to "wash" it off? It seemed to make it feel better, right?  Turns out you were smarter than you realized. (True nerds click here)

There's something I was supposed to remember.... what was it? Oh yeah, feed Erin!

Cookie Disaster

Those of you who know Ms. A know she likes to bake.  Especially during times of business and stress.  Being without kitchen for nearly 2 months now has seriously put a cramp in her style, and the urge to bake became nearly overwhelming.  Time to experiment... 

...with chocolate chip cookies in the electric skillet...

... with disappointing yet delicious results.  Ms. A sincerely hopes the kitchen is completed soon.

I'm Chalking It Up To Parenthood

Tonight, on our nightly walk, we passed by a house party with a really good cover band playing in the backyard. Ms. A, my formerly butt-rockin' wife, sings along with a song being played as we pass by:

Ms. A: "Mental wounds still screeeea-ming...! Driving me insaaane...! I'm going off the rails on a gravy traiii-n!!!"

Brian: (Alarmed pause)

Brian: "Did... did you just... um, hmm... You know it's 'crazy train', right?"

Ms. A: "Yeah... of course, I... I... my brain and my mouth just didn't connect."
