Employee of the Month Sitting having a cigarette yesterday I tried to make a mental list off all the jobs that I’ve ever had. By job, I mean anything that I ever actually got paid to do. So volunteer work didn’t count. This is the list I came up with but dammit I know there …

Pad My Life In Bubblewrap Damn The Jeffersons and their unyielding theme song!! Why must that exuberant anthem of American Prosperity broadcast itself on my inner brain’s hi-fi system repetitively, like the time 93 FM switched over to the ‘EDGE’ and played R.E.M’s ‘It’s the end of the world as we know it’ for 24 …
Ranch Inspection God bless the world wide interweb. Not only were we able to pay for our home inspection using Pay Pal, but we also received our Home Inspection Report via the web.

On to the Rose City Tomorrow it’s off to the Pacific Northwest for some good Portland time. Blogging will be sporadic over the next ten days or so. I think it’s a good time to get out of here as the high humidity and the 90 degree temperatures have left me soaked in my own …
And Then The Sky Turned Green An apocalyptic storm blew through town yesterday, leaving an alarming path of destruction in its wake. Our garden looks like Sasquatch decided to play Dance Dance Revolution on our tomatoes and baby lettuce. Down the road two trees were felled, one on each side of the street. They both …
Bad Skelton With total disregard for the high standing moral code that we Skelton’s are known to live by, I am saddened to bring to you this bizarre and tragic story from the Star Tribune. Seems troubled Jeffrey Skelton took the law into his own hands yesterday and murdered the guy his wife was having …
Reception Fashion Going through the first round of photos from our party of June 3rd, I was struck by the number of great garments people wore. I decided to make a little swatch collage here to document some of the colors and patterns that were present.
