Found a dead mouse in the hot tub. It's going to be an expensive mouse. I have to drain the tub, and then heat up hundreds of gallons of water to 102°F. That's a lot of BTUs. Maintaining it is cheap, heating it up in the first place is expensive. I also have to clean [...]

I broke down and decided to introduce my daughter to Star Wars today. I had her avert her eyes when they show the bodies of Owen and Beru (It's a little gruesome), but the rest of it we sat and watched together. What a blast. I knew it had the proper effect when her comment [...] A few people (most notably Dan from Fear the Boot) have asked to hear my singing voice. I have held back since I am extremely careful around the copyright issues of my Barbershop group. Chapters have had their licenses pulled due to careless treatment of purchased music. However, while I wait for the wheels to [...] Fun week-end.We took a three-day trip across the Sound. We visited the Pacific Science Center, where I nearly fell into a pool, held some butterflies and watched my little girl run around doing cool and educational stuff. I love places like this, though I think the Exploratorium in San Francisco is cooler. Or even OMSI. [...] I'm on my own for the next few days. The wife and daughter are across the water in Edmonds, visiting relatives. I stayed behind to get some work done and watch the dog. I go a little crazy with no one in the house. Not in the sense that I start drawing a face on [...] I'm doing a unit on Religion and Art in my RE class in a couple of weeks. One of the members in the congregation offered to collaborate with me on it. It turns out not only is he incredibly knowledgeable on this subject, he was actually the guy hired by George Stevens to do the [...] I saw Gaelic Storm in concert last night. What a blast! It was cool to be able to put faces and mannerisms to voices. And to buy their latest album, too, of course. I'm a little hoarse this morning from all the shouting and singing. One of the funniest moments from the concert was when [...] This is the first in a multi-part series on developing a painting.The project is an art book for empty Room Studios, a group of which I am a member. The artists are collaborating on this endeavor, with the intent of offering the book for sale when the project is complete. Since this project will doubtless [...] This was our summer project. Although my family has been enjoying it regularly, I've had a little touch of dermatits that has kept me from getting in. That's all over, and life is GOOD. That's the Olympic National Forest in the background. Very private. [...] My six-year-old daughter is sitting on the floor dividing up little colored pom poms. I asked her what she was doing and she informs me that she is dividing them up into Mantagues and Capulets. She informs me that their parents don't like each other and so they are fighting. She herself is the Prince [...] |
