I know it's been ages, and you all prolly thought I'd fallen off the edge of the world, but that is not the case.If you want to blame someone for my protracted abscence, you can single out my sister.You see, she convinced my mom to pool up all the money that she usually spends on ...

I guess the only way I can explain my absence is to say that I've been busy.It's nothing you haven't heard before, and it's just as true now as ever.One of the things that has kept me away is work, but then you know that.Another would be life in general. It seems sometimes that ...

Well, maybe not. But at the very least, he and his band Dire Straits are a bit psychic.In 1985, they released the album Brothers in Arms. One song from that album was more than just a song, in my opinion. The song, Walk of Life, was also a prophetic description of events ...

One of the problems with having a large extended family is that very often, you can go for loooooong periods of time without seeing people. Case in point: my cousin Justin. The last time I saw him he was maybe 5 or 6, I don't remember. It really has been that ...

I'm the worst blogger.Ever.I've been busyblahblahblah...I had to 'shop the photosblahblahblah...On a happier note, I'm ready to regale you all with the Tales of the Magic Kingdom.Tis going to be a loooong one, and there will be many photos. I'm sitting here eating Pixie Stix and Warheads as I write this, (thanks jessi) and ...

Well, actually I got home on Sunday night, but this is the first time I've had a chance to catch my breath since I got home.I had Monday off too, but spent the whole day doing all the bill paying/check cashing/ runaround that inevitably follows any vacation.So, first things first:Kat and Kelly, thank you both ...

Hi, it's Kelly again. I've been reading over T's blog to see if there is anything I can riff on that might be of any interest whatsoever to his regular readers.Let me just interject here real quick before continuing... I just noticed that he mentioned recently that a woman at his job was taking two ...

Hi, it's Kelly again. Just wanted to post a pic of beautiful Northern Nevada taken today. Hopefully it will make TJ homesick if he's checking this thing remotely.This is Washoe Lake, off of Hwy 395, between Carson City and Reno. Those are the Sierra mountains in the background. My son and I took a side ...

This is your friendly ...er...friend, Kat!I did it! I remembered to post!I don't know that I really have anything interesting to say. Pretty sad, really.Ah well, C'est la vie, no?You know, I really love Disneyland. It really is the most Magical Place on earth! I've never been to Disney World, and quite frankly, have ...

Hi, it's Kelly again. I'm bound and determined to make you all bored with me, and begging for T's return.Hope he's having a great time at D-Land. I've only been two or three times in my life. Back in '85, there was Grad Nite. I don't know if they still do that, but back then, ...

Whoot! I feel like I'm rifling around in someone else's house on the sly. And don't worry T, I'm not actually rifling around in your house while you're away.My name's Kelly, and I live somewhat near our beloved T.J. separated only by about 20 or so miles of high-desert highway and a plethora of box ...

But rather Disneyland.That's right boys and girls it's finally here. It's 6:40 am local as I write this, and I'm just waiting for Pops to get is ass out of the shower then we're outta here.This first day sees us driving from Carson City to Grover Beach, where my son lives. We're staying ...

Smartasses.I have been very busy tho. There's all that packing to do...(wait i havent packed yet).Really, I have no excuse, other than my schedule at work has been very wonky lately. You see, I'm not the only person taking time off this month. One of our people left on the 3rd for ...

Well, at least in my neck of the woods. I have no empirical evidence; no hard numbers: just my instinct. I know that I've mentioned the unique weather/climate pattern that I live in.In fact, I've prolly rambled on about it too much on this blog.Despite the nasty heatwave:Yes, that's 1:00 AM ...

Well, lets see where this goes....The party was fun, and I ate waaaay too much. I was so full that I came home and took a nap.I love being an adult and getting to schedule my own naps. Some days, it's all that gets me through. Of course, not having to take ...

I've tried three (3) times to post some photos recently. Everytime, blogger has puked on it.I'm going to try again in the morning....or more accurately, when I wake up. If Blogger does another nosedive, I'm going to host them over at ibucket, so expect some monster images.....T.

Lines flashing on hold.Stupidity rules the roostMust be Saturday.I don't know if I've told you all this or not, but Saturday is usually the burning bag of dog shit day at work. It never fails. The call count goes through the roof, and sadly, the smarts drop through the floor.For instance, I had to tell ...

That was my goal for yesterday, and I was up to the task. I can't remember the last time I had a Thursday off, and strangely enough, both Pops and I had paychecks to cash.I got paid on Wednesday, and his SS check got here on the same day. I can't remember the ...

The first time I heard that phrase, it was used in humorous fashion by Tammy.I'm sure you remember Tammy. I've told you a lot about her. Well, Tammy had a friend named Chrissy. She was a wonderful person, full of life, full of love. I only met her a few times, ...

Gah...I hate working Saturdays, and today was no exception. We had someone call in sick, so we were a person short most of the day, and tho it wasn't a typical busy as fuck Saturday, we could really have used the 3rd person.I was doing some thinking today, inspired mostly by some of the ...
