This Is Going To Be Tougher Than I Thought
2008-08-09 20:19:28
So I kind of got a job.  Nukegirl starts school this year and the “Stay at Home” part of SAH Dad is about to fade out of my job title.  I had my first official event in my new job on Friday.  It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.  Going back [...]

Solo Synchronized Centennial Underwear Cartwheels
2008-08-06 20:57:49
I made a joke about during cartwheels in my underwear to celebrate my 100th post, and someone called me on it.  And then so did some other people.  So, here it is; the 100th post.  Big Whoop.  Enjoy.  Thanks to Eric Johnson for the music.  Also, I’m up again over at Scrivel.  Go check it [...]

Tax Free Weekend Death Shopapalooza
2008-08-04 01:18:39
I survived tax free weekend.  I didn’t go willingly, mind you, I just happened to be in the car when NukeMom announced that we were going to “pick up  a few things” for school.  First stop was Kohl’s.  They had a rack of t-shirts that had been picked through more than William Shatner’s girdle drawer.  All of the [...]

Big Word Wednesday-Week 16
2008-07-31 10:40:31
Welcome to the Thursday edition of Big Word Wednesday .  Hopefully this won’t become a habit.  One of our resident Wordsmith’s, Tom from Being Michael’s Daddy contributes our first word in this week’s edition of Big Word Wednesday: cromulent.  It means fine, acceptable, normal.  It is used quite frequently on The Simpsons.  Homer used it once, [...]


My Fellow Americans…
2008-08-27 22:45:04
I know, I know; 4 more years of the same thing, or the ultimate unknown?  McCain or Obama?  How about a 3rd option that isn’t Ralph Nader?  How about ME!  Yeah, you read it correctly!  Why not?  I think I have the ability to communicate with Democrats (I have 3 children) AND Republicans (I married [...]

Bobsledding Through “God’s Country”
2008-08-22 22:58:58
OK, so it took almost a week to unpack.  Not really, but with school getting ready to start, football practice and this being the last week the pool is open; I’ve had a pretty busy week.  The trip to Alabama was awesome.  The drive alone wasn’t bad at all.  NukeMom loves to drive.  She also [...]

Jim! There’s A Hurricane! Grab Your Kiteboard!
2008-08-19 14:57:35
I think the folks at the Darwin Awards should just call it a year; the winner for 2008 has been found.  Tropical Storm (one time and possibly future Hurricane) Fay blew through the Florida Keys yesterday.  What would you do if you knew a hurricane was going to hit you?  Leave?  Board up the house?  Get the [...]


Time To Unpack
2008-08-18 03:37:15
It shouldn’t take long to unpack; it’s not like we went to Europe or anything.  While I’m getting everything back to normal, head on over to Scrivel.com and check out my latest contribution.  It’s a sordid tale of misplaced assumptions and prejudice; tonight, on a very special Blossom.  Once the laundry is done and the [...]


So Much To Learn
2008-08-15 02:34:19
When you see this post, I’ll already be in Alabama.  NukeMom’s brother is getting married this weekend.  The greatest part about the wedding invitation?  When I looked down bottom and read these two glorious words; “Picnic Casual”.  The thought of having to wear a suit or tux in the August heat of Alabama was like [...]


Kite Fishing
2008-09-19 10:59:40
Some kids around the Nuke neighborhood have acquired a go kart.  There was some debate as to real ownership of said go kart, due to the fact that it was snatched curb side on bulk trash pick-up day.  It had a flat tire and a broken chain.  Broken chain, flat tire, bulk trash day; it’s [...]

Big Word Wednesday-Week 19
2008-09-17 14:54:06
Looks like BWW will be moving to a bi-weekly format until I can figure out how to insert 10 to 12 more hours in my week.  Posts have been trickling in since school started, and I’m trying to get my work life in order as well, so bear with me.  Now that the excuses are [...]

And, How Was Your Breakfast?
2008-09-14 22:41:24
I’ve been having some abdominal pains, so I had to have a CT scan done.  To be able to see your insides properly once they fire up the radiation donut, you have to ingest an un-godly amount of “reflector juice”; or, as they call it; Barium Sulfate Suspension.  They labeled it Berry Smoothie, as if that was going [...]

Resolve
2008-09-11 09:35:30
I had a different post ready to go for today, but it wouldn’t be appropriate.  I usually like to keep it light-hearted and funny, but today isn’t a day for light-heartedness.  I have a problem.  I have a problem with those that would be happier if this day would pass as any other day; mundane, [...]

Rick Astley: Secretary Of Dance?
2008-09-08 22:26:58
I’m thinking of asking Rick Astley to be my VP.  No offense, WeaselMomma, but Rick is giving me some mad props on the referrals, you know?  Even though my Rick Astley post is 3 months old, it continues to send unsuspecting Rick fans to my site.  Maybe VP is too lofty a goal for Rick; maybe create [...]

Big Word Wednesday-Week 18
2008-09-03 22:33:48
Let’s get political.  With the Republicans wrapping things up in St. Paul tomorrow night I thought we would visit a couple of words from the realm of promise breaking politics. In honor of Al Gore, who invented the Internet, Big Word Wednesday , Global Warming and Humility, I give you gravitas.  It means; seriousness or sobriety, as of [...]


Doing Long Division In The Bread Aisle
2008-08-29 14:34:35
Labor Day Barbecue at the pool this weekend for the Nuke Neighborhood.  We’re bringing the hot dogs and buns.  Let the Mathematics begin.  Oscar Mayer (no relation to John) packs their bread puppies in quantities of 10; the bread companies pack their tube steak holders in packs of 8 or 12.  And you thought you’d never use [...]

Why Not Sweats And A BabyDoll Tee?
2008-10-07 11:42:32
I’m not a fashion Mogul.  Never even played one on TV.  If I offend your sensibilities with this post; I apologize, but something tells me there’s nary a chance of that.  Pierre Cardin has made millions through the years as a fashion designer.  I’m sure I’ve seen his work many times on television and in [...]


Maybe We’ll All Get A Free Toaster
2008-10-04 01:20:50
I guess this is what they call writer’s block.  Haven’t had a whole lot to smile about or find funny this last week or so.  Nukegirl turned 5 on Thursday and that was a good day, but I still have issues with being told that the world is going to end if we don’t surrender [...]

Fruh-Gee-Lee; Must Be Italian
2008-09-26 12:38:35
I got a package today.  It didn’t do so well in the deliverysphere.  All I can figure is it has a really smart mouth and all of the other packages ganged up on it; or one really big bully box sat on him for no good reason.  Either way, his corregation is irreperably harmed.  He [...]

Ain’t Nobody In Here But Us Chickens!
2008-09-22 22:54:39
I knew I should have bought The Biltmore when I had the chance!  Man!  I BLEW it!  I could have gone in with a library card, no job, no collateral and no hope of ever paying it back, and Fannie, Freddie or Countrywide would have given me a 6,000 year mortgage (Interest Only) with no money down.  [...]

6 Of One, 1/24th Gross Of The Other
2008-10-28 22:46:17
NukeMom took the day off so we could spend some much deserved time together.  The last time we had this much time alone together was when Clinton was in office.  So what did we do to commemorate the day?  Get your minds out of the gutter…that happened later; no, what we did was: we performed [...]

Maybe We Should Have Named Them Mickey & Mallory
2008-10-24 08:34:43
Buddy and Penny (The NukeBeagles) have killed 2 squirrels in the past 5 days.  I don’t mean like they sauntered up on an old grey drawing his last breath, I mean tracking in tandem and killing.  Just like the velociraptors in Jurassic Park. “Clever girl”, indeed.  I’m not sure where the blood lust is coming [...]

Look What I Went And Started
2008-10-22 02:05:16
After posting a Happy Birthday wish to my sister Leta, I figured that I’d better do the same for the rest of my siblings lest I be left without a phone call on my birthday.  With that in mind, I can hear sister Stacey saying; “Why didn’t you think of this back in August when [...]


Dead Leaf Fallin’
2008-10-19 22:46:02
When a death row inmate is marched to the chamber on judgement day the guards announce; “Dead Man Walkin’!” to the rest of the inmates.  As if the words are going to deter them from committing any more crimes.  I think the point is moot, but it makes the guards happy.  Most of the criminals [...]

NukeDad The Plumber
2008-10-17 22:36:07
I’ve been watching the meteoric rise (and inquisition) of “Joe The Plumber” play out on TV.  Poor guy.  I bet he wishes that Obama had never shown up in his neighborhood.  MSNBC now has a satellite truck parked outside of his house.  If he flushes his toilet, the boys at Daily Kos will be sending [...]


The Punching Bag In Roger Daltrey’s Throat
2008-10-14 22:48:00
As I mentioned before, I’ve been able to help steer the NukeKids away from formulaic pop into the realm of Classic Rock.  I knew I was successful when NukeGirl sang the entire first verse to Paranoid by Black Sabbath on the way to school one day.  Yeah, I know; not the cheeriest of songs, but [...]

Happy Birthday, Leta
2008-10-10 22:40:30
Some of my fondest childhood memories revolve around my oldest sister Leta.  I’ve mentioned before that I learned a lot about music from her; some of it from her saying; “Listen to this” and some of it from having to tolerate “If” by Bread for the 100,000th time from the next bedroom.  My Mom would agree.  [...]

Online Medical Degree Part 2: The Musical

If you are just joining us, you will need to go and read this post first to get you up to speed.  Where was I?  Oh, yeah, almost killed…dodge ball….MRI, got it.  So anyway, next Tuesday comes and I hobble myself into sub waiting room 4C in lobby number 5, level 3.  The magazine selection is [...]

Univ. Of Phoenix Called, Your Anesthesiology Doctorate Is Ready
2008-11-17 21:51:53
Did I ever tell you about the time my Doctor almost killed me? Yeah, ICU for 3 days. The beginnings of the story are actually quite humorous…right up until the surgery and the near death experience. What happened, you ask? Well, let me tell you. It all started when a group of mid 30ish to [...]

Big Word Wednesday-Week 20
2008-11-12 21:26:06
I know it’s been a few weeks, but I started calling it “Week 1, 2, 3″, or whatever at the beginning, so I’m not going to change it to “Edition” or “Volume” or “Number” or any of that stuff now.  Just pretend that they run consecutively and we’ll all be OK.  Let’s get to it.  [...]
