In some ways, it seems as though our house is now “right” again with the presence of two pets. Jincy and Avi each fulfill individual needs that the other could not touch. I don’t really know how to quantify that: it would be easy to just say that Jincy is a snuggly soft face kisser […]

I’m going to warn you right now, this is going to be boring as hell, unless you really like talking about cars. It’s official: my Nissan Murano is now the most annoying vehicle that I’ve ever owned. This is quite a feat when you consider the vehicles I’ve driven in my illustrious two decades (holy […]

The weekend was one of those weirdly long and satisfying weekends that seem to only happen once a quarter. Esteban didn’t have his Dorkathalon, and instead we pottered around the house all evening and went to bed at a reasonable hour (Hello we are old). On Saturday morning, we let the pug and the cat […]

When Elastic Waist Dot Com and Product Fiend ended, I have to admit that on some level, I was relieved. I mean, it’s hard to crank out 18 entries a week, entries that are polished and vetted and have the required amount of links in them, entries that are in some way relevant to the […]

This week, I had a lot of Very Big and Important meetings. That means driving to Shermer, Il, sitting in a conference room for 12 hours, eating bad catered food, then going back to the hotel and working on all of the stuff that you couldn’t do during the day because you were sitting in […]

I’m hesitating to update this thing because every time I fixed the blog, an update seemed to cause the Russian hacking bot to take over the site again and then it would be all kerblooey. Fredlet’s got my back (this is why I make sure to surround myself with people who are more clever than […]

So, yeah, I was hacked. Seriously, grievously horribly hacked. And my host, with whom I switched due to their assurances of doing regular weekly and monthly deep dive backups of my database said “Whoa, wait a second… we meant, you know, when we felt like it. And we haven’t felt the urge to back up […]

As I mentioned in the previous entry, I got a job. Heather took umbrage with the fact that I buried the lede, and yes, true dat. I never pretended that I wasn’t a dirty little tease, Heather. Here’s what happened: Sometimes I’m awesome in interviews (in high school, I actually placed gold for the interview category in […]

The photo has nothing to do with the entry whatsoever. I just really think my dog is cute. When we decided to start living more frugally sometime last year, one of my thoughts that I used to push away the little poor girl’s voice in my brain was this “That’s ok, you already have everything […]
