End of an Era
A lone tomato is all that’s left of our garden fresh goodness. I’m still a little amazed that we’ve been able to enjoy them this late in the year. Of course, it’s not like all of the tomatoes are gone...

Google to ObiTalk users: “Drop dead”
It hasn’t been that long since I switched our “home” phone service to using an ObiTalk and it already looks like the rug has been pulled out from under us. Google recently announced that anyone “making unauthorized use of Google...
What evey hotel TV should do
Seriously, how is this not a thing everywhere? Why does every other hotel TV make hooking up your own stuff such a chore? I kind of want to install one at home (even though I have no use for it)...
You know how most kids are grossed out by kissing?
Liam is apparently not that kid. Today, he said “daddy squeeze mommy”, so I gave Shauna a hug. Pleased with the results, he followed up with “daddy kiss mommy”. Happy to oblige, kid. Happy to oblige.

Nathan’s New Jam
Nathan has only mastered a few words and phrases, but so far his most favorite is “happy”. When he’s in a good mood, he’ll just wander around saying “happy, happy” over and over and over again. About a week ago,...
Another Comcast Bait and Switch
