We picked up our fine new friend on Saturday. This was not as smooth as we’d hoped, with the coordinator and the driver being out of synch and the directions being less than perfect, but all things considered, we were okay. At 2:30 PM, she was off loaded by the rescue driver, and [...]

So I was lucky enough to be able to go our for a beer after work on St. Patrick’s day (which is a day I don’t celebrate as a holiday) because Tattooed Dad was off work, and said it was okay.
So I’m sitting there with a friend and we’re discussing work and our lives and [...]

If you’ve been over at Tattooed Dad lately, you’ve seen the pictures of our soon to be new family member.
I wrote about her a bit already in regards to the amount of assorted flack/feedback we got regarding her adoption. We are very excited about her arrival this weekend.

And then, occasionally, I do things that seem utterly random and completely at odds with my planning self.
In thinking on this, I’d say I [...]

So I’m off to work yesterday and had decided to bring doughnuts and coffee for my group.
I stop at donut chain du jour and get donuts plus two iced coffees: one for me and one for one of the other guys.
I decided I’d wait to start drinking my iced coffee until [...]
