Goodbye Friend
Saying goodbye to a pet is of course very difficult. I have not been able to spend much time with Maggie over the last few years due to being away from Cincinnati. She lived with my parents. We got her right before my Senior year in High School. She was a puppy full of life that struggled with authority. For a while we weren’t sure whether we were going to be able to keep her...

Undecided War
Currently reading “Six Frigates” by Ian W. Toll. Found this passage and believe it is worth repeating. Recalling the [War of 1812] debates, [James Madison] admitted that "it has become impossible to avoid or even delay war," even though "we were not prepared for it." It has been necessary to take the fateful plunge because "it was certain that effective preparations would not take place, whilst the question of war was undecided." You never quite... [read more]

Hypocrisy for Good
While catching up on my blogroll I came across this post which was full of great wisdom. I will only share one of the bits of wisdom in this post, maybe I’ll come back at a later date and share some of the others. Sometimes hypocrisy is a necessary evil. This is only a portion of #14 in the article, but felt it was worth sharing beyond the context given. So many times at work,... [read more]

Jolie the quirky dog
I love Jolie. I really do… but she is one weird pup. We have had Jolie for about as long as we have had Little Lady. On the tail end of a jog about 16 months ago, Wife and I found four pups and a momma dog wandering the neighborhood. For those that have spent any time in San Antonio, you know that this is not unusual. There are all sorts of stray animals that... [read more]

Joke: Old Married Couple
I normally post original content on my blog. But I read this and it was just too good not to share :-) [](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/married-couple-old.jpeg) An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, 'Seven Points.' His wife rolls over and says, 'What in the world was that?' The old man replied, 'its fart football.' A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says, 'Touchdown, tie score...'... [read more]

Haircuts
(image from…) Haircuts in my life are one of those necessary evils… just like eating. I would much rather spend my time doing something else because give it a little time… and we are right back to where we were previously… hungry and shaggy. Being a Sailor brings with it the need for a lot of haircuts. Before ever joining the Navy, Wife (then Girlfriend) agreed to start cutting my hair. Seemed like a good... [read more]

Intro: ! ! Attention all parents that let their kids use an iPhone or iPad ! ! This… is… amazing… Did you know that you can very simply disable the home button and touch on the screen?

Car Seat Conundrum (comic)
Little Lady must have studied up on this comic. She is definitely an accomplished Twister and Rod. She practices the Noodle when she’s asleep, but she’s still pretty manageable. As for the Slow Poke… all in good time I am sure… (via Single Dad Laughing) [read more]

A furnace turning on… The hum of a ceiling fan… Refrigerators running with ice makers settling… Sinks dripping… … and Little Lady throwing heavy objects from her crib! Really this has become a nightly occurrence Wife and I will be downstairs and both our eyes will shoot to the ceiling at the sound of a loud THUMP from upstairs. “Could her bottle make... [read more]
