For the last couple of weeks, we've had the pleasure of playing host to Sara and her wonderful kids Max and Corina. This recent trip started off kind of bumpy when they experienced a blowout around Lagoon in the middle of what would best be described as "what roads would look like after a […]

When I left Las Vegas for a new life in Utah, I also left behind several friends. Just prior to moving, I'd had a falling out with one of them that bordered on epic. Since we both had mutual friends and I was the one leaving town, it pretty much cut me off from all […]

About two months ago, some new neighbors moved into a house just a few doors away from us. Like a lot of families, they brought pets with them. Unlike a lot of families, those pets were just under a dozen chickens including a rooster. No big deal, I thought. How noisy can chickens be?
Shauna was […]

There's sometimes a reason that Shauna calls our township "White Trash City". This morning, we both woke up to the sounds of yelling outside the house. I wasn't very amused given that it was 3:45AM, so I popped my head out the front door to ask them to pipe down. Once I heard the swearing […]

We've been terrible at socializing over the last couple of months. We missed parties, we don't call or e-mail and we even skipped our normal New Year's Eve gala this year. You can probably guess some of the more obvious reasons why we've been holed up in our house or otherwise unavailable: the trip to […]

Just a quickie to let everyone know that we got home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Shauna's been sleepy (oxycodone/Percoset will do that) but we've had a few welcomed visitors over today. Anyone looking to do well-wishing should drop by or give us a call.

The good news is that she's doing okay so far. She's still in a bit of pain, but she's alert and coherent despite the various painkillers she's been taken. Here's the deal on what went down.

Appendicitis.
More specifically, Shauna's sitting in St. Mark's Hospital (room 9 in the emergency room if you're interested) with a "gnarly-looking" (quote from the doctor) hunk of everyone's favorite vestigial organ. She's going to have it taken out tomorrow (today?) and is going to be kept in the hospital for a day for observation. This, of […]

Yes, it's true. Shauna and I skipped Halloween. We didn't carve our pumpkin. We didn't give out candy. We didn't even answer the door any of the times it was knocked on. (Note to kids: if all of the lights are out and there's no jack-o-lantern, you're probably wasting your time.) And you know what? […]

I have a really bad habit of leaving my car's headlights on. This ordinarily wouldn't be a problem since most cars have a "you left your lights on, retard" feature. This feature, however, is moot when the little door sensor is busted. Mine has been for about three years now. So Wednesday morning, I have […]
