Here’s what I did:

That, friends, is a barracuda.  First time fishing since I was like eight.  I am pleased.

I’m not even certain where to begin this entry, because I am not entirely sure where it starts.  During my MFA, I studied under Liz Strout (who you really should know) for a semester, and she told the small group I was in one thing that will stick with me until I’m dead.
That thing? “Just [...]

You read that correctly.  We’ve been working on an upgrade for the past several months, and it’s time to announce that we’ve got a release candidate due for September 2010.  The new product will have many of the same features you know and love from Release Candidate 1.0, codename “Millie,” such as:

Eating;
Full bowel elimination capabilities;
Crying [...]

…As much as I hate to admit it, the whole thing is freaking true.  Most of it, anyhow.
To be completely honest, I really could have gone either way with the whole “having kids” decision.  I just didn’t care.  You could maybe chalk this up to me being “laid back,” or a jerk, or whatever.  It’s [...]

Weight: 240 lb.
Waist measurement: Bigger than a baby’s arm.  By, like, a lot.
Did you eat like a jackass: No. But it’s only day 1. Week 1.
There’s something terrible about exercising when you’re doing it to try to get some result.  I ran two miles this morning and did about 75 situps and 50 [...]

Following up from last night’s post, I’m writing this entry to enlist your help.  As part of my effort to get into some kind of respectable physical shape, I’m going to be reducing the amount of food that I eat.  I’m going to be moving to a “lighter” fare, as well.  I’d like to say [...]

I wouldn’t call it a struggle necessarily, but I’ve been what’s called “husky” pretty much my whole life.  This isn’t to say that I’m not healthy, or that I don’t exercise or whatever, but I’ve pretty much always had a gut and a rather prodigious man-rack.  I’ve been trying without much success to trim down [...]

So, yesterday was my birthday, if you weren’t able to put it together.  Le Wif’s friend Rachel made a peanut butter cake for me and dropped it off  before I got home from work today.

If memory serves, and if you know me, you know that it *probably* doesn’t, here’s how it works.  2 white cakes [...]

There are two things you need to know here.  First, I ride a bicycle to work every day.  When I say every day, I mean every single day, with the exception of when there’s seriously dangerous weather (in which case I’d probably be off work anyway), and when my bike is broken.  The second thing [...]

You can buy me a hat here. Not required, but definitely hilarious.

So, my daughter is nearing two weeks old, and nothing particularly exciting has happened since she’s been born.  She exited the womb able to lift her head and sort of push up with her arms when placed on her stomach, and that was kind of exciting.  I’m told that “at birth” is pretty early for [...]

Since the arrival of our first child, Le Wif and I have spent the last week and a half or so at home, alone, with very few visitors.  Given that we’re taking care of Le Bebe, it’s been difficult for us to get out, and we’re starting to gnaw at our hands a little bit [...]
